A recovery plan that quietly assumes central bank rescue is not a plan; it is a hope with a document number. Since governments were forced to rescue failing institutions in the credit crisis, Recovery and Resolution Planning rules have been implemented globally, and the discipline is now central to international banking groups’ risk management. A credible recovery plan identifies options to survive a range of severe but plausible stress scenarios without exceptional financial support. Over two intensive days, this masterclass covers the key issues, tools and techniques of building and managing an RRP — the BRRD’s scope, powers and tools, early warning indicators and triggers, and the conceptual and operational realities of restructuring and resolving weak banks.

Frequently asked
Will these programmes prepare our team for supervisory review?
That is what they are built for. Casework is structured around the evidence supervisors request — risk-appetite articulation, documentation, attestation — and participants leave able to assemble the evidence trail before it is asked for and defend the framework in examination. Faculty include practitioners who have sat on the supervisor’s side of the table.
Which risk frameworks does the curriculum cover?
The risk and compliance curriculum spans enterprise risk management on the COSO framework, credit, market, liquidity and operational risk, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing, and financial-crime disciplines including fraud detection and AML/CFT. Each programme page states the frames it works in and what participants will build with them.
Can we attend in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers in English and French, in classroom, live virtual and hybrid formats. French-language cohorts serve institutions across BCEAO jurisdictions and other francophone markets.
What happens after we enquire about a programme?
A senior practitioner replies within one business day with the brochure attached. The conversation then covers dates, format, any tailoring your institution needs, and the fee — BIZENIUS shares fees in that proposal, not on a public price list.
