Governance, Risk Management & Compliance (GRC) Fundamentals Training Course

Description:

Basel III is a global regulatory framework for bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Initially agreed upon by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision between 2010 and 2011, subsequent changes to The Accord have extended its implementation to 31st March 2019. Basel III enhances bank capital requirements by boosting bank liquidity and reducing leverage.
Basel III differs from Basel I and II in that it requires varying levels of reserves for different forms of deposits and other borrowings, complementing rather than replacing the earlier accords.
