Governance, Risk Management & Compliance (GRC) Fundamentals Training Course

Description:

Basel III represents a global regulatory framework focused on bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Originally established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–2011, the implementation timeline for the Accord was extended to March 31, 2019. Basel III enhances bank capital requirements by boosting liquidity levels while reducing leverage. Unlike its predecessors, Basel I and II, which are not fully superseded but rather complemented, Basel III mandates distinct reserve levels for various deposit types and borrowing structures.

This ensures that once a weakness is identified, the resulting recommendation provides a lasting solution, thereby protecting the company's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

Failing to implement structured RCA creates a high-risk environment:

• Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes in financial processes result in cumulative losses that increase over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls rather than focusing on new strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Continuously reporting the same issues undermines the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.
