Basel IV is less a new accord than the uncomfortable completion of Basel III — and banks that treat it as a compliance filing will misread its effect on capital, liquidity and credit risk. Born of the lessons of the global financial crisis, the extension forces a reckoning with FRTB, the internal ratings-based approach and the standardised approach to counterparty credit risk, each rebuilt under the new standardised framework. This masterclass works through what banking in a Basel IV era demands: where the capital numbers move, why the rules evolved as they did, and how to manage and mitigate the risks the regulation itself creates.

Frequently asked
Do these programmes cover the Basel III final reforms and the ICAAP/ILAAP cycle?
Yes. The BIZENIUS banking curriculum is built around the Basel III endgame, ICAAP, ILAAP, IRRBB, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing and BCBS 239. Participants leave able to quantify the output floor on their own portfolios, write capital and liquidity documents that withstand supervisory review, and defend the numbers to their board.
Are the programmes adapted to regional supervisors such as SAMA, CBUAE or BCEAO?
Casework is built around supervisory documents rather than textbook theory, and faculty include former practitioners who have sat on both sides of an examination. Programmes address the questions SAMA, CBUAE, BCEAO and other home regulators actually put to the desk, and an in-house edition can be tailored to a single jurisdiction.
How do I secure a seat on a banking programme?
Apply for a seat or request the brochure from the programme page. A senior practitioner — not a sales team — responds within one business day, and the brochure arrives with that reply. BIZENIUS runs on enquiry: there is no online checkout.
Can a programme run in-house for our bank?
Every BIZENIUS programme can be delivered in-house, tailored to your balance sheet, your regulator and your data, in English or French. Many institutions start with an open cohort, then commission a private edition for the wider team.

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.
