12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Even strong risk teams still rely on senior directors to translate Basel III requirements into audit-ready artifacts, but few have a documented method.

The situation this course is for

Without a clear framework, capital adequacy reviews become reactive, dependent on tribal knowledge, and prone to rework when leadership or regulators ask follow-ups.

Who this is for

Senior risk practitioner at a global bank, responsible for regulatory capital reporting, internal stress testing, and compliance with Basel III standards. Comes from Big4 background, now in an operator role with influence across control, finance, and audit teams.

Who this is not for

Junior analysts, auditors focused on SOX only, or professionals outside financial services risk and compliance.

What you walk away with

  • Own the capital adequacy assessment package from start to sign-off
  • Produce regulator-facing documentation that stands on its own
  • Become the internal escalation point for peer teams on Basel III interpretation
  • Reduce rework in CCAR/DFAST prep cycles with reusable templates
  • Shape leadership’s understanding of capital buffers and stress test outcomes
