Navigate Basel II, III and IV: Capital Adequacy, Credit, Market, Liquidity, and Operational Risk Management
SUMMARY
This course offers a deep dive into the Basel Accords, the internationally recognized framework for banking regulation and risk management. Designed for professionals in the financial sector, this comprehensive course equips participants with the knowledge and tools to understand and apply the Basel standards in managing credit, market, operational, and liquidity risks.
What You’ll Learn
- Understanding the Key Principles and Evolution of Basel Accords: The course begins with an exploration of the Basel Accords’ history, starting from Basel I, through to the more refined Basel II and Basel III frameworks, and finally, the latest updates under Basel IV. Each iteration has been developed to address specific challenges in the global banking system. You’ll uncover the rationale behind these updates and understand how they evolved to provide more robust risk management guidelines in response to financial crises and changing market conditions.
- Risk Management Techniques: You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the different types of risks that banks face and how to manage them:
- Credit Risk: The risk that borrowers will default on their obligations.
- Market Risk: The potential for losses due to fluctuations in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
- Operational Risk: Risks arising from failed internal processes, systems, or human errors.
- Liquidity Risk: The risk of being unable to meet short-term financial obligations without incurring significant losses.
Through detailed modules, you’ll learn how to identify, measure, monitor, and mitigate these risks effectively using various tools and strategies.
- Calculating Capital Requirements and Risk-Weighted Assets: A major part of the Basel Accords is determining the capital banks must hold to protect against various risks. You’ll learn how to calculate risk-weighted assets (RWAs) and capital requirements under different approaches, including the standardized approach and internal ratings-based (IRB) approach. These calculations are critical for ensuring financial stability and compliance with regulatory standards. You’ll explore how banks must maintain a minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), which ensures they can absorb losses and continue operating during times of economic stress.
- Implementing Risk Mitigation Strategies: Once you understand the risks and how to calculate required capital, the course will help you design and implement effective risk mitigation strategies.
