The greatest threat to a bank is risk that is never properly identified, measured or managed — the unexpected losses that follow can threaten institutions of any size, as the financial crisis proved. Basel III answers with more risk-sensitive capital requirements, broader risk coverage, stronger loss absorbency and buffers built during good times to absorb losses in periods of stress. This internal audit course applies the risk-based audit approach to these business areas, and participants develop audit programmes during the training that their firms can use in practice.

Frequently asked
Will I leave with audit programmes I can actually use?
Yes — that is the design of the course. Participants develop audit programmes during the training itself, applying the risk-based audit approach to the Basel II and Basel III business areas and the ICAAP, and tailor the work so their firms can put the programmes to use in practice.
Who is the course designed for?
Internal auditors and compliance officers first, alongside market, credit, liquidity and operational risk managers, Basel II and Basel III programme managers, heads of economic capital, CROs and CFOs — anyone who must test how risks are identified, measured and managed across the institution.
Is it available in-house and in French?
Yes to both. BIZENIUS delivers the course in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your institution’s Basel implementation and audit universe. Sessions follow a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are shared on enquiry.
Who teaches this
Practitioners, not presenters.
Led by practitioners who hold, or have held, the seats this programme prepares you for: group treasurers and heads of asset–liability management, chief risk officers, heads of credit and capital management, and former central-bank supervisors who examined the very frameworks they now teach. Between cohorts the same people advise banks on those frameworks, so what you learn is what is being defended in front of boards and regulators today.
What the bench brings
- Basel capital frameworks from Pillar 1 to Pillar 3
- ICAAP and ILAAP construction and supervisory review
- Stress-testing methodologies and capital planning
- Liquidity ratios and leverage under Basel III/IV
- Market and counterparty credit risk measurement
- Recovery planning and regulator engagement
Where they have practised
Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.

- Knowledge checks and a personal action plan
Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.

Capital frameworks built to run the bank, not to satisfy a filing
Most frameworks are written to satisfy the regulator. We build the kind that run the bank.
