Why did global banks nearly collapse during the financial crisis, and what lessons pushed regulators to tighten the rules? The answer lies in the Basel Accords – a framework that reshaped how banks think about risk, capital, and stability. With Basel III, the standards became stricter, placing more pressure on banks to prove their resilience against shocks while ensuring transparency for regulators and markets.
The Bank Capital Adequacy Under Basel III course by LPC Training takes you inside this regulatory framework. Across five days, you’ll unpack the logic behind Basel III, learn how capital requirements are structured, and explore how credit, market, operational, and liquidity risks are measured and controlled.
This programme will give you practical tools to interpret bank disclosures, calculate ratios, and understand how the rules impact real-world banking decisions.
