Supervisors now expect banks to show how physical and transition climate risks land on credit portfolios, capital adequacy, liquidity and long-term resilience — and to embed those answers in ICAAP, enterprise risk management and strategic planning. Climate stress testing has moved from thought experiment to supervisory instrument, with scenario analysis, risk data and resilience testing shaping review agendas. This masterclass works through the full discipline: identifying and measuring physical and transition risks, building climate-sensitive PD, LGD and ECL models, designing stress scenarios aligned with NGFS pathways, and standing up governance from board oversight through to IFRS S2 disclosure. The cohort leaves with a practical roadmap for embedding climate risk in business planning.

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.
