Governance, Risk Management & Compliance (GRC) Fundamentals Training Course

Description:

Basel III represents a global regulatory framework governing bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Originally agreed upon by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–11, the Accord has seen its implementation timeline extended to March 31, 2019. This framework strengthens bank capital requirements by enhancing liquidity standards and reducing leverage.
Unlike Basel I and II, Basel III introduces differentiated reserve requirements based on various deposit types and borrowing structures. Rather than replacing its predecessors, it complements Basel I and II. Navigating this complex and evolving regulatory landscape can be challenging; our course and training provide the expertise needed to manage potential changes and their impact on your institution.
