Course Overview
Knowledge of the Basel/CRD-CRR rules is essential for anyone working in the financial sector and of course for banks in particular. This is however a significant challenge both due to their complexity and because they keep changing. The course covers the main elements and the main changes introduced since the 2008 crisis by both Basel III (CRD IV and CRR) and so-called Basel IV (CRD V and CRRII) and other still-to-be-implemented measures. It also includes connected regulatory measures such as EMIR, the BRRD and SRMR and the revisions in these areas to give a comprehensive overview.
