Basel III Implementation Masterclass

Practical implementation of Basel III’s three ratios — LCR, NSFR and leverage — from HQLA optimisation to the reporting your supervisor expects.

Format

Classroom · Live Virtual

The programme

Basel III’s three ratios read simply and implement painfully. This two-day masterclass offers practical guidance on the LCR, NSFR and leverage ratio — implications and calculations — including the differences between full and modified LCR, and how the Liquidity Coverage Ratio is applied in the US versus key member countries of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The format is interactive, pairing lectures with topical articles on recent developments in Basel III implementation and the liquidity standard. The cohort works through optimising high-quality liquid assets, net cash flows and haircuts, the leverage ratio’s compliance burden, and the liquidity reporting expected of the institution.

What you will do

Implement the LCR, NSFR and leverage ratio as one framework rather than three separate returns.
Distinguish full from modified LCR, and US application from key Basel Committee member countries.
Optimise your HQLAs, working through net cash flows and haircuts rather than headline buffers.
Apply the NSFR in practice, from guidelines to calculation to funding consequences.
Analyse the leverage ratio’s effect and compliance burden, and its interplay with the liquidity ratios.
Build the liquidity reporting supervisors expect from you and your institution.

Who attends

  • Liquidity risk managers and Basel III reporting managers
  • Risk managers, analysts and controllers
  • Quantitative analytics teams
  • Treasurers

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.
