Supervisory Intelligence: Navigating ARAS, ICAAP and Risk Triggers

How the Central Bank of Azerbaijan reads your bank — the ARAS framework, ICAAP and ILAAP expectations, early-warning systems and the triggers behind capital add-ons.

The programme

Supervisory escalation rarely arrives unannounced — regulators watch defined triggers, and banks that cannot see the same signals are negotiating blind. This masterclass shows how Azerbaijani regulators assess bank risk, determine capital add-ons and monitor governance practices. It works through the Central Bank of Azerbaijan’s ARAS framework and supervisory priorities, structuring ICAAP and ILAAP to local expectations and international best practice, and preparing for SREP-like evaluations, inspection findings and Pillar 2 capital requirements. The cohort designs internal early-warning indicators aligned with those regulators use, integrates stress testing and risk appetite into forward-looking capital and liquidity planning, and applies it all through simulations and case studies tailored to Azerbaijani banking operations.

What you will do

Read the ARAS framework as the regulator does, tracing how the Central Bank of Azerbaijan sets supervisory priority.
Structure ICAAP and ILAAP to withstand local review, aligned with international best practice.
Engage SREP-like evaluations with confidence, responding to inspection findings and Pillar 2 capital requirements.
Design and operationalise an early-warning system aligned with the indicators regulators actually watch.
Integrate stress testing and risk appetite into capital and liquidity planning, forward-looking rather than retrospective.
Strengthen governance, board oversight and internal controls in the areas supervisors probe first.
Neutralise risk signals before they escalate into regulatory action, reputational damage or sanctions.

Who attends

  • Risk, treasury and capital management teams
  • ICAAP, ILAAP and ALM professionals
  • Finance professionals, financial controllers and accountants
  • Business heads, bank supervisors, auditors and ALCO members

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.
