Emerging Risks, Basel IV Updates and Sustainability Masterclass

The US regional bank failures and a Swiss takeover made the point — governance, Basel IV readiness and sustainability now decide which banks keep supervisors calm.

The programme

The failure of several medium-sized US banks and the takeover of a Swiss institution said the quiet part aloud: banks need strong internal governance and effective risk controls for a risk landscape that no longer sits still — and supervisors will escalate quickly when practices look inadequate and remediation slow. This masterclass covers what that means in practice. The cohort works through Basel IV updates and their impact on capital and risk management, stress testing for climate and financial risks, ESG integration into banking strategy, treasury management for liquidity and funding risk, cybersecurity and the risks of adopting blockchain and AI, cross-border compliance, and governance and risk culture — grounded in real-world case studies of European banks.
