Liquidity Risk Management & ILAAP

A bank does not fail the day it runs out of capital; it fails the hour it runs out of the market’s willingness to believe it. This programme trains the executives who keep that belief funded.

The programme

March 2023 settled an old argument: liquidity kills faster than credit, and deposits behave nothing like the assumptions in last year’s ILAAP. Supervisors across the Gulf and Africa now read liquidity documents the way they read capital ones — line by line, against evidence. Over three intensive days, treasury and risk leaders rebuild the liquidity framework from behaviour up: deposit modelling calibrated to your book, an ILAAP written as proof of control rather than an annual filing, and a contingency funding plan precise enough to execute at three in the morning.

What you will do

Model deposit behaviour treasury can defend — segmentation, stickiness and rate sensitivity calibrated to your own book, with the evidence file supervisors ask for.
Write an ILAAP that reads as evidence of control, structured around the questions SAMA, CBUAE and BCEAO examiners actually put to the desk.
Build a contingency funding plan that names names — counterparties, amounts, triggers and the hour-by-hour first week of a funding stress.
Steer the balance sheet with LCR and NSFR, managing the binding constraint before month-end instead of reporting it after.
Report liquidity to the board on one page — the early-warning indicators and escalation rights that make oversight real.

Who attends

  • Group treasurers, heads of ALM and their direct reports
  • Chief risk officers and heads of liquidity risk
  • ALCO members and finance leaders who own the funding plan
  • Central-bank supervisors and regulatory reporting leads

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

Programme agenda

Built around the questions supervisors ask

I.What does your funding actually do under stress?
  • Behavioural modelling: deposit segmentation, stickiness and survival horizons
  • What 2023 rewrote: run dynamics in a mobile-banking market
  • Intraday liquidity and collateral — the constraints that bind first
  • Working session: stress-testing your own funding profile
II.Is the ILAAP a document or a control?
  • From annual filing to management tool: risk appetite, limits and governance
  • LCR and NSFR beyond the ratio: steering with the binding constraint
  • Scenario design your supervisor will recognise — idiosyncratic, market-wide, combined
  • Workshop: rewriting an ILAAP chapter as evidence of control
III.Who moves, and how fast, when the phone rings?
  • The contingency funding plan: counterparties, amounts, triggers, sequence
  • Central-bank facilities and collateral mobilisation across jurisdictions
  • Board reporting: the one-page pack and the escalation rights behind it
  • Capstone: a live funding-stress simulation — participants run the desk, faculty run the market

Frequently asked

Who is the Liquidity Risk Management & ILAAP programme designed for?

It is built for group treasurers, heads of ALM and their direct reports; chief risk officers and heads of liquidity risk; ALCO members and finance leaders who own the funding plan; and central-bank supervisors and regulatory reporting leads. The register is senior: three days spent rebuilding the liquidity framework, not an introduction to the ratios.

How practical is the programme?

Deliberately practical. Participants stress-test their own funding profile, calibrate behavioural deposit modelling to their book, rewrite an ILAAP chapter as evidence of control and build a contingency funding plan with named counterparties, amounts and triggers. The capstone is a live funding-stress simulation in which participants run the desk and faculty run the market.

Which supervisory expectations does the ILAAP work reflect?

The ILAAP sessions are structured around the questions SAMA, CBUAE and BCEAO examiners actually put to the desk, and the approach transfers to any Basel-aligned regime: scenario design supervisors recognise, LCR and NSFR steered as binding constraints, and a one-page board pack with real escalation rights behind it.

Is an in-house edition available, and in which languages?

Yes. Like every BIZENIUS programme, this masterclass can be delivered in-house and tailored to the institution — your deposit book, funding structure and home regulator. It is delivered in English and French. Fees are quoted on enquiry, and the programme runs on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request.
