About This Event
“Build the regulatory foundation every modern banking supervisor now needs.”
A six-month virtual course covering the fundamentals of banking regulation and international standards, from Basel capital and liquidity rules to the Core Principles. It extends into climate-related financial risk and fintech regulation, giving supervisors a broad, current foundation they can build on through their careers.
What You'll Explore
A structured grounding in Basel III capital, liquidity and large-exposure rules
Working fluency in the revised Basel Core Principles
Worked capital and liquidity calculations you can reuse on real returns
Draft supervisory expectations for climate-related financial risk
A PAC assessment result recognising completion of all five modules
Who Should Attend
Open to all qualifying staff, particularly: Banking Supervisors, Regulatory Policy Analysts, Legal & Licensing Staff, Financial Stability Staff, Early-Career Examiners.
Why This Course Matters
A Solid Foundation
Supervisors often learn regulation piecemeal on the job. A structured course fills the gaps and explains why each rule exists, which makes judgement calls on new cases easier.
Current Global Standards
Basel standards and the Core Principles are revised regularly. Studying the current versions means your analysis and drafting reflect what assessors and peer regulators now expect.
Climate and Fintech Covered
Climate risk and fintech are now part of every supervisor's portfolio. Covering them in the same course shows how they fit into the existing prudential framework rather than sitting beside it.
Programme
Module 1
Foundations of banking regulation & supervision
You will study why banks are regulated, the objectives and mandates of supervisors, licensing and the Basel Core Principles, building the conceptual base for the rest of the course.
Module 2
Basel III capital: definition, risk weights & buffers
You will work through the Basel III capital framework, covering capital definitions, credit, market and operational risk weights, the non-risk-based capital backstop and buffers, with worked examples.
Module 3
Liquidity, large exposures & Pillar 2 and 3
You will apply the LCR and NSFR, large-exposure limits, the Pillar 2 supervisory review and Pillar 3 disclosure, and see how they fit together in assessing a bank's overall soundness.
Module 4
Climate-related financial risk & supervision
You will learn how climate risks affect banks, review the Basel climate principles and NGFS scenarios, and draft supervisory expectations on governance and risk management for your market.
Module 5
Fintech regulation, crypto-assets & final assessment
You will examine fintech licensing, sandboxes, digital lending and the Basel cryptoasset standard, then complete a final PAC assessment drawing on all five modules of the course.
Standards & Faculty Benchmark
Basel Core Principles (BCP)
The global standard for effective banking supervision, revised by the Basel Committee in 2024.
Basel III framework
The capital, liquidity and large-exposure standards studied in depth across the whole course.
BCBS Climate-Related Financial Risk Principles
Basel principles for managing and supervising climate-related financial risks in banks.
BCBS Cryptoasset Exposures Standard
The Basel standard on capital and disclosure for banks' crypto-asset exposures.
These are the standards your banks, peer regulators and IMF assessors refer to every day. Learning them from the source text means your analysis, drafting and supervisory letters use the same terms that everyone reviewing your work already understands.
Is This Right for You?
- ☑You are early in your supervisory or regulatory career
- ☑Your institution wants a common baseline across new supervisors
- ☑You want depth, studied alongside your day job
Good to Know
Designed for supervisors and policy staff early in their careers or moving into prudential work; no prior study of Basel standards is assumed, and modules fit alongside a full-time role. You leave with a thorough regulatory grounding and a PAC course assessment result.
The Bottom Line
Six months that give you the regulatory foundation, and the climate and fintech context, most supervisors spend years assembling.
