Since Basel II put economic capital on every supervisor’s agenda, banks have struggled with the same question: how internal capital requirements relate to regulatory ones, and how to show the difference is managed. This masterclass grounds participants in the most important concepts of economic capital — and where and why they diverge from regulatory capital. Case studies simulate, step by step, how a bank produces an ICAAP framework, giving the cohort in-depth knowledge of the approaches to risk and capital management and their presentation in the ICAAP report. The differences between smaller and larger banks’ frameworks are drawn out explicitly, along with the SREP link and supervisory expectations.

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
