Training Course on Banking Supervision and Regulatory Frameworks

Course Overview
An effective banking supervision and regulatory framework is the cornerstone of a sound and resilient financial system. In an environment marked by financial innovation, cross-border risks, and increasing systemic vulnerabilities, regulators must be equipped with the knowledge, tools, and judgment to ensure that banks operate safely, transparently, and in the public interest.
This course offers an in-depth exploration of the institutional, legal, and prudential frameworks governing the supervision of banks and other deposit-taking institutions. It focuses on the core principles of risk-based supervision, compliance monitoring, capital adequacy, liquidity requirements, governance standards, and early intervention tools.
Participants will examine international regulatory standards such as the Basel Accords, IAIS, and IFSB principles, while gaining insights into supervisory responses to crises, digital banking, and climate-related financial risks. Practical sessions provide exposure to on-site and off-site supervision, stress testing, and resolution frameworks.
