MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE OFFICIAL
PRESENTATIONS
We will send you
3 emails.
The first email (704 slides) covers
all the presentations that are needed for the CBiiPro Exam. All
the questions of the exam are based on these slides.
We cover the Enhancements to the Basel II framework, July 2009,
Supplemental Pillar 2 Guidance
(Supervisory Review Process) from the Bank for International
Settlements
You can find the course synopsis at:
www.basel-ii-association.com/Certified_Basel_ii_Professional.htm
The second and the third emails
cover the implementation of the Basel ii
framework in the United States of
America and the European Economic Area. There presentations are
especially important for professionals working in multinational or
large financial organizations.
These presentations are:
- Basel II in the United States of America
(235 slides)
-
Regulatory Arbitrage after Basel ii (233 slides)
- The Financial Conglomerates Directive (183 slides)
- The Capital Requirements Directive of the European Economic Area
(426 slides)
The Capital
Requirements Directive (CRD) is the common framework for the
implementation of Basel ii in European Union.
If you understand the CRD, you can work not
only for the implementation of the Basel ii framework in the 30
countries of the European Economic Area, but also around the world
for multinational banks and financial
organizations with European operations.
The presentations not only cover the
European directives, but also include topics like:
Hedge Funds and the Capital Requirements
Directive, Securitization and the Capital Requirements Directive.
QUESTION:
Why in a Basel ii certification program we
need to understand the Financial
Conglomerates Directive?
ANSWER:
Because we have a very different Basel ii
implementation in each of the following structures:
A. The bank is the regulated entity at the
head of the group
B. The bank is under a mixed financial holding company (MFHC)
C. The bank is under a financial holding company (FHC)
D. The bank is under an insurance holding company (IHC)
Only the first 704 slides (first email), that cover the Basel ii
principles, are needed for the exam.

Course Title
Certified Pillar 2 Expert (CP2E) - Distance Learning
and Online Certification Program
Overview:
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has identified
four key principles that underpin Pillar 2:
1. Institutions must have a process for assessing their overall
capital adequacy in relation to their risk profile and a strategy
for maintaining their capital levels -
Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment
Process, ICAAP
2. Supervisors must review the
Internal Capital
Adequacy Assessment Process, ICAAP
and take
supervisory action if they are not satisfied with the results of
this process -
Supervisory Review and Evaluation
Process, SREP
3. Supervisors must expect institutions to operate above the minimum
requirements - and should have the ability to require them to hold
capital in excess of the minimum.
4. Supervisors should seek to intervene at an early stage to prevent
capital from falling below the minimum levels required to support
the risk characteristics of a particular institution and should
require rapid remedial action if capital is not maintained or
restored.

Course Title
Certified Pillar 3 Expert (CP3E) - Distance Learning
and Online Certification Program
Overview:
According to the Bank of International Settlements, markets contain
disciplinary mechanisms that can reinforce the efforts of
supervisors by
rewarding
banks that manage risk effectively and
penalising
those whose risk management is inept or imprudent.
Market discipline, however, can only work if market participants
have access to timely and reliable information which enables them to
assess a bank’s activities and the risks inherent in those
activities.
The purpose of Pillar 3 - market discipline - is to complement the
operation of minimum capital requirements (Pillar 1) and the
supervisory review process (Pillar 2).
Transparency
has become much more important after the current global market
crisis. Financial firms must disclose more information so as to
allow all
stakeholders
to make informed
judgments as to whether the bank is meeting international standards
and is acting in their best interests.
The supervisors, the investors, the credit rating agencies, the
journalists and the analysts
to name only some of the stakeholders, want to receive frequent,
relevant and meaningful information regarding the risk profile, the
management and the capital adequacy of every institution.
Objectives:
The seminar has been
designed
to provide with the knowledge and skills needed to understand, make
decisions and work for the
Third Pillar of Basel II.

This course is
intended
