Description:

Basel III is a global regulatory framework for bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Initially agreed upon by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–2011, the implementation of this Accord has been extended to March 31, 2019. Basel III enhances bank capital requirements by increasing liquidity and reducing leverage.
Unlike Basel I and II, which set uniform reserve levels, Basel III requires different levels of reserves for various types of deposits and borrowings. Therefore, it complements rather than replaces the earlier accords.
Navigating this complex and evolving regulatory landscape can be challenging. Our course and training are designed to help you manage these changes and their impact on your institution. As an accredited partner of the Basel Certification Institute, we ensure that our training and materials are up-to-date and effective.
