BCS Practitioner Certificate in Information Risk Management (CIRM) Training Course

Description:

Basel III represents a global regulatory framework governing bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and liquidity risk. Initially established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–11, the implementation timeline for the Accord has been extended to 31st March 2019. Basel III enhances banking resilience by boosting liquidity requirements and reducing leverage.
