In late 2010, G-20 countries approved a new set of rules that translate into the Basel III Accord. This new global regulatory standard has introduced new initiatives to address deficiencies encountered during the financial crisis and includes:

Changes on the definition of Capital
New rules on minimum capital requirements including risks not considered on Basel II
New regulatory requirements on bank liquidity
Other changes on leverage ratios and capital buffers

Whether a Financial Institution is in the early stages of adopting Accord best practices, or planning on implementing more advanced approaches, Genesis is equipped to add value in each step of the way.

Awareness Building seminars can provide a basic knowledge of the issues and challenges arising from the implementation of the accords, and they can also focus on country-specific regulations. More advanced programs range from 1 to 2 days in duration and can provide Bank personnel with the necessary tools to understand and apply the regulations in the day-to-day operations. These programs are customized to fit the client bank's own Basel approach and implementation stage.

Seminars taught in this area include:

Basel II Awareness Builder	Basel and beyond: The challenge of risk and capital management (General)
Basel and beyond: The challenge of risk and capital management (Intermediate)	Basel and beyond: The challenge of risk and capital management (Advanced)
