Basel IV
A 12 module program to provide a detailed overview of Basel IV, it’s impact on bank’s balance sheet and what bank’s are doing to prepare for it.
In the wake of the global financial crisis and in response to the lessons learnt during it, Basel III was introduced requiring banks to hold far higher quality of balance sheet resources than ever before. Even before Basel III was fully adopted it was followed by further regulation covering areas such as gone concern capital, capital charges traded and non-traded risk which initially informally but more recently formally in certain regions (e.g. CRD V/CRR II in Europe) was/is seen as a blue print for Basel IV.
