Who this is for
Software Engineer in financial services working on systems that intersect with regulatory reporting, risk data aggregation, or capital measurement.
Who this is not for
This course is not for compliance officers, auditors, or risk managers looking for policy interpretation. It is tailored specifically for engineers who must implement Basel III logic in code.

- Translate Basel III requirements into data models and service boundaries
- Design systems that support LCR and NSFR reporting with minimal rework
- Collaborate effectively with risk and finance teams using shared technical language
- Anticipate audit questions around exposure calculations and data lineage
