12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Most capital adequacy playbooks fail under stress-test scrutiny because they’re built on outdated interpretations of Basel III’s output floor rules.

The situation this course is for

Teams spend months aligning capital models only to have them challenged during internal review cycles. The gap isn’t effort, it’s precision in applying current Basel Committee guidance to real portfolio structures.

Who this is for

Senior risk or compliance executive at a global investment bank who owns capital adequacy reporting or stress-testing outcomes

Who this is not for

Junior analysts, auditors without capital framework ownership, or professionals outside financial services regulation

What you walk away with

  • Clear line of sight from Basel III Article 473 to internal capital distribution decisions
  • Implementation playbook for leverage ratio buffer compliance that passes internal review the first time
  • Structured narrative for justifying capital treatment choices to senior risk committees
  • Faster path from regulatory update to updated capital model inputs
  • Visibility lift: executive sponsorship on capital optimisation initiatives previously unseen
