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

Description:

Basel III is a global regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Initially agreed upon by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–11, changes to The Accord have extended implementation to March 31, 2019. Basel III strengthens bank capital requirements by increasing bank liquidity and decreasing bank leverage.
Basel III differs from Basel I & II in that it requires different levels of reserves for various forms of deposits and other types of borrowings, working alongside rather than superseding the earlier accords.

This document highlights the best practices of the world’s leading board leaders, offering insights into the “in the boardroom” strategies that seasoned professionals have honed over time, specifically tailored for government applications.
