Basel III Final Reforms & Capital Planning

Supervisors no longer ask whether your bank holds enough capital; they ask whether your board can prove it understands why. This masterclass prepares the executives who must answer.

The programme

The Basel III endgame lands on bank balance sheets while corporate margins thin and IFRS 9 provisioning still bites. Most banks will comply; far fewer will use the new framework to run the bank better. Over three intensive days — built around supervisory documents, not textbook theory — your team works through the final reforms as capital planners rather than rule-takers: output floors, revised standardised approaches, and what they actually do to pricing, portfolio mix and dividend capacity.

What you will do

Quantify the impact of the final reforms on your own portfolios — output floor, credit risk SA/IRB revisions, operational risk — and defend the numbers to your board.
Design a capital plan that survives supervisory review, from risk-appetite articulation to the attestation the board signs.
Price the true cost of capital into lending decisions, balancing return on regulatory capital against franchise and relationship value.
Anticipate the supervisor’s questions — SAMA, CBUAE, BCEAO or your home regulator — and prepare the evidence trail before it is requested.
Sequence the two-year implementation across finance, risk and technology, knowing which workstreams break first.

Who attends

  • Chief risk officers, chief financial officers and their direct reports
  • Heads of capital management, ALM, treasury and regulatory reporting
  • Central-bank supervisors and regulatory policy staff
  • Board risk-committee members who carry personal accountability for capital adequacy

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

Programme agenda

Built around the questions supervisors ask

I.What do the final reforms actually change for this bank?
  • The endgame in numbers: output floor mechanics and the binding-constraint shift
  • Revised standardised approach for credit risk — working session on your asset classes
  • IRB restrictions and what remains of the modelling advantage
  • Case: a Gulf bank’s QIS results, line by line
II.How does compliance become a capital plan?
  • From ICAAP filing to management tool: risk appetite that steers the business
  • Capital allocation and pricing: RAROC in a floored world
  • Stress testing the plan — scenarios your supervisor will recognise
  • Workshop: rebuilding a capital plan the board can defend
III.Can your operating model deliver it?
  • Data, systems and BCBS 239: where implementations actually fail
  • The supervisory dialogue: evidence, attestation and the examination itself
  • Sequencing the programme: a two-year roadmap by function
  • Capstone: presenting the plan — participants defend, faculty play supervisor

Frequently asked

Who should attend the Basel III Final Reforms & Capital Planning masterclass?

The programme is designed for chief risk officers, chief financial officers and their direct reports; heads of capital management, ALM, treasury and regulatory reporting; central-bank supervisors and regulatory policy staff; and board risk-committee members who carry personal accountability for capital adequacy. It is built around supervisory documents rather than textbook theory, so it suits executives who must defend the numbers.

Does the programme quantify the impact of the final reforms on our own portfolios?

Yes. Over three intensive days participants work the reforms as capital planners rather than rule-takers — output floor mechanics, the revised standardised approach for credit risk, IRB restrictions and operational risk — including a line-by-line case on a Gulf bank’s QIS results. The capstone has participants defend a rebuilt capital plan while faculty play the supervisor.

Can the masterclass be delivered in-house for our bank?

Yes. Every BIZENIUS programme is available in-house, tailored to the institution — your portfolios, your asset classes and the questions your own regulator asks, whether SAMA, CBUAE, BCEAO or another home supervisor. The programme is delivered in English and French, so mixed francophone and anglophone teams can be trained consistently.

How do we obtain fees and forthcoming dates?

Fees are provided on enquiry — BIZENIUS quotes each programme individually rather than publishing a rate card. The masterclass runs on a rolling calendar, with dates confirmed on request, and can also be scheduled privately for a single institution. Contact the team with your preferred format and cohort size for a quotation.

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.
