Governance, Risk Management & Compliance (GRC) Fundamentals Training Course

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 these standards was extended to March 31, 2019. Basel III enhances bank capital requirements by increasing liquidity and reducing leverage.

The governance of any organization is only as strong as its board of directors, and that board's effectiveness hinges on the capabilities of its chairman.

This document outlines the best practices of the world’s leading board leaders, offering insights into the proven strategies used by experienced professionals in the boardroom. These practices are essential for government agencies seeking to enhance their governance and accountability frameworks.

To excel in this dynamic setting, organizations must harness the appropriate skills, tools, and techniques to ensure that the citizen experience remains central to their value proposition. The ultimate strategic goal is to understand what citizens perceive as quality and consistently deliver it in a cost-effective and reliable manner, particularly for government services.
