Capital Adequacy Planning


A comprehensive e-learning product dealing with Capital Adequacy requirements
that cover Credit and Market Risks for Financial Institutions

Highlight:

  • Assess Capital Adequacy to comply with the Capital Regulations as per the 1988 Capital Accord

Capital Adequacy Planning
Overview
Sufficient capital is required to protect an organization’s depositors and counterparties from an institution’s on- and off-balance sheet risks. Banks need to have confidence in each other’s stability to transact business. It is therefore essential for banks to maintain adequate capital to cover their credit and market risks. This product encompasses the international standards agreed upon in July 1988 at the Bank for International Settlements. The 1996 amendment to the 1988 Capital Accord that sets out a framework for calculating the capital requirements for market risk is also covered in this product.
 
After completing this course you will be able to:
  • Understand the capital standards and other regulatory requirements, as per the capital adequacy
    directives by the Basel Accord
  • Consolidate knowledge on capital adequacy calculations
  • Assess the impact of capital requirements on management practices by defining, measuring,
    monitoring and managing risk

Global Banking Supervision


A comprehensive e-learning product with up-to-date coverage of all guidelines
issued by the Basel Committee

Highlight:

  • Measurement, Monitoring and Formulation of prudential regulations and requirements to foster the development of a framework to control risks inherent in banking as per the guidelines issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.

Global Banking Supervision
Overview
Banks serve unique economic functions, and those functions are directly related to their inherent vulnerability. Weaknesses in the banking system of a country, whether developing or developed, can threaten financial stability both within that country and internationally. In today’s financial environment, dominated by a dynamic, aggressive financial service industry, banks as major players operate with greater freedom. Banks are exposed to greater financial risks than before due to the appearance of more complex and dynamic transactions that have substantially increased uncertainties. Advances in IT technology, capital movements and geographical extension of banking business have become the new engines of global integration. What seems to be important for banking systems is not the size, but the level of compliance with the internationally accepted rules and standards, and their functionality.
 
After completing this course you will be able to:
  • Identify and understand risks inherent in Banking
  • Develop a framework to mitigate risks in accordance with the guidlelines issued by the Basel
    Committee
