In a bid to demystify the intricacies of Basel IV, Shasat, a prominent player in financial education and consultancy, has announced an insightful two-day, in-person workshop aimed at clarifying the capital and liquidity requirements under the Basel IV framework, also known as Basel 3.1. This comprehensive workshop is set to provide bankers and financial professionals with a deep understanding of Basel IV and strategies to ensure compliance.

Originally slated for implementation on January 1, 2022, the Basel IV framework's rollout was postponed to January 1, 2023, due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. However, a recent update has revealed that the EU and UK will adopt Basel IV on January 1, 2025. These regulations, formulated by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2017, encompass significant changes to global capital requirements, particularly concerning credit risk assessment.

Basel IV introduces measures aimed at standardizing and harmonizing how banks calculate risk, rather than simply increasing capital requirements. These reforms will affect various aspects, including internal risk models, output floors, leverage ratios, credit valuation adjustments (CVA), and operational risk frameworks. The impact of Basel IV is expected to vary across regions due to differences in the utilization of internal risk models by banks.

Shasat's workshop is tailored to provide a deep dive into the key components of Basel IV, encompassing topics such as the standardized approach for credit risk, the internal ratings-based approach, the output floor, and the new market risk framework. Additionally, the workshop will shed light on liquidity requirements, including the net stable funding ratio and the liquidity coverage ratio, and offer strategies to ensure compliance.

Throughout the program, participants will engage with real-world case studies, practical exercises, and examples to grasp the tangible implications of Basel IV for their respective organizations. The workshop will analyze success stories of banks that have adeptly navigated the new regulatory landscape, identifying crucial best practices.

This comprehensive course offers key learning features that are essential for professionals in the financial industry. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the significant changes introduced by the Basel Committee and their profound impact on global capital requirements, with a specific focus on credit risk assessment. Additionally, the course covers the intricacies of complying with the new liquidity requirements outlined in Basel IV, along with effective strategies for meeting them. Participants will master the standardized approach to operational risk as mandated by Basel IV and develop proficiency in managing market risk through the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) internal model, while also grasping the implications of the new market risk framework. Moreover, participants will become experts in making transitional adjustments to capital output floors, ensuring their organizations' compliance with the latest capital requirements. The course also delves into the incorporation of the counterparty credit risk standardized approach into the risk management framework and its impact on overall capital and liquidity requirements. Throughout, participants will gain practical knowledge and tools to navigate and excel in risk management within the evolving Basel IV regulatory framework.

Upon completing the workshop, participants will leave equipped with practical insights and tools needed to navigate their organizations through the complexities of Basel IV. They will be well-prepared to ensure compliance and manage risks effectively within the evolving regulatory landscape. Here is the schedule of upcoming programs by Shasat.
