Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) Calculation and Implementation Masterclass

CVA and the wider XVA family made implementable — exposure simulation, risk mitigants and the Basel III capital charge, built up sequentially in workshops.

The programme

Basel III changed counterparty credit risk from a pricing footnote into an infrastructure programme — and while a small number of banks actively manage CVA, the complexity and cost of implementation remain a serious undertaking for the majority. This masterclass builds the valuation adjustments sequentially, so the cohort leaves able to compute them rather than merely define them. It covers the nature of credit and counterparty risk, the products that generate it, simulation of exposure, and the impact of risk mitigants such as netting and collateral. Workshops then develop the full XVA family — CVA, DVA, FVA, ColVA, KVA and MVA — alongside the CVA capital charge under Basel III’s Standardised Approach and its alignment with the revised market risk framework.

What you will do

Calculate CVA and its siblings — DVA, FVA, ColVA, KVA and MVA — from simulated exposure.
Quantify the impact of risk mitigants such as netting and collateral on counterparty exposure.
Apply the CVA capital charge under Basel III’s Standardised Approach, aligning the CVA risk framework with the revised market risk framework.
Identify where counterparty risk arises across the financial products that give rise to it.
Navigate OTC derivatives documentation and the historical development behind it.
Plan the implementation itself — the infrastructure, cost and sequencing that active CVA management demands.

Who attends

  • Derivatives traders, structurers and salespeople
  • Risk, treasury and asset-liability management teams
  • Basel implementation, ICAAP and ILAAP teams
  • Regulatory capital, reporting and compliance professionals
  • Collateral management, product control, legal and IT

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

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.
