Strategic Balance Sheet Management: Mastering ALM, IRRBB, and Liquidity Risk Masterclass

Treasury risk, ALM and balance-sheet management from foundation to application — IRRBB, LCR and NSFR, and hedging built into daily treasury practice.

Classroom · Live Virtual

The programme

Treasury desks inherit balance-sheet risk they did not price — and the cost surfaces as rate moves, funding squeezes and regulatory findings. This masterclass builds a solid foundation in treasury risk, ALM and bank balance-sheet management, then makes it practical. The cohort works through interest rate risk in the banking book, liquidity metrics including the LCR and NSFR, funding optimisation, and hedging with derivatives, swaps and futures — alongside the regulatory frame of Basel II, III/IV, ICAAP and ILAAP. Simulation-based learning runs throughout: ALM modelling, stress testing and scenario analysis, reinforced with case studies from global banking crises and tools that transfer directly to daily treasury operations.

What you will do

Manage interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB), with strategies for rate fluctuations in either direction.
Optimise funding against the LCR and NSFR, the liquidity metrics that actually bind.
Hold compliance across Basel II, III/IV, ICAAP and ILAAP, as the requirements move.
Hedge with derivatives, swaps and futures, against interest rate, currency and market fluctuations.
Stress-test the balance sheet in simulation, through ALM modelling and scenario analysis.
Weigh risk–reward trade-offs in financial decisions, to protect both profitability and the risk position.
Apply the tools in daily treasury operations, grounded in case studies from global banking crises.

Who attends

  • Heads of treasury and ALM professionals
  • Risk, capital management and credit risk teams
  • ALCO members, corporate treasurers and dealers
  • Finance and accounting professionals
  • Bank supervisors, financial controllers and auditors

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.
