Basel III was not written for markets with shallow pools of high-quality liquid assets and unstable cash flows — yet that is exactly where many banks must implement it. This masterclass confronts the hard parts of Basel compliance in African markets: building capital buffers through economic volatility, meeting LCR and NSFR where liquidity sources are limited, and standing up the data, IT and reporting systems the framework demands. Grounded in the Basel Accords (I, II, III) and their role in capital adequacy and financial stability, the programme blends theory with real-world case studies, and the cohort works through country-specific adoption, stress-testing techniques and reporting automation for their own institutions.

Frequently asked
Who should attend this Basel compliance course for African banks?
It is designed for heads of risk, treasury and capital management, ICAAP and ILAAP teams, ALM professionals, financial controllers, ALCO members and corporate treasurers, as well as bank supervisors, auditors and financial analysts working in or with African banking markets.
How does the course adapt Basel III to African market conditions?
It confronts the hard parts directly: building capital buffers through economic volatility, meeting the LCR and NSFR where pools of high-quality liquid assets are shallow and cash flows unstable, and standing up the data, IT and reporting systems the framework demands. Stress-testing techniques are tailored to African markets rather than imported templates, and country-specific Basel III adoption across Africa is mapped throughout.
Is the programme delivered in French, and can it be run in-house?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the masterclass in English and French — a natural fit for francophone African markets — and an in-house edition can be tailored to your bank and its national adoption timeline. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
