Course

International Financial Crime Prevention and Compliance Training (IFCCT’s) Basel II Training Week has been designed to enable delegates to acquire a more comprehensive understanding of the core tenets of the accord and to assist representatives of the banking and financial services industry in preparing for the operational changes required to comply with regulatory expectations in time to meet implementation deadlines.

Basel II Training Week has been prepared in response to overwhelming demand and feedback from presenters and delegates who were in attendance at IFCCT’s highly acclaimed Cayman Islands Financial Training Week, in December last year.

The training course has been divided into two components. The first part, a two day introductory programme, will analyse the three pillars of Basel II at a rudimentary level, for those who wish to review the basics of the accord.

The second part, a three day advanced programme, will cater to the specific needs of senior corporate officers, including board members, managers, key staff and those responsible for implementation. Its specific purpose is to help organizations prepare to meet regulators’ expectations, notably in measuring risk appetite and setting limits to risk tolerance.

Basel II Training Week will afford private and public sector professionals an essential opportunity to receive timely, expert guidance from a world renowned faculty of experts and regulators.

The course’s dynamic and interactive format is designed to allow detailed and specific working problems to be addressed and delegates’ questions to be effectively answered with the appropriate technical knowledge and advice. The expertise delegates acquire on the course will significantly increase their and their organisations’ abilities to plan for legal and regulatory changes.

Improved understanding of the material produced by the Basel Committee, European Commission, Committee of European Banking Supervisors and the Federal Reserve, resulting in the improvement of internal systems, will aid organisations in becoming more robust in managing risk and capital.
