Advanced Bank Risk Analysis
A five-day programme that develops advanced bank risk analysis skills, covering Basel III capital adequacy, asset quality, credit modelling, liquidity, market risk, and stress testing for analysts, risk officers, and supervisors.
Introduction
The Advanced Bank Risk Analysis Training Course builds the analytical depth that bankers, risk officers, and supervisors need to judge the health of a financial institution. Bank risk analysis goes well beyond reading a balance sheet. It examines capital adequacy, asset quality, liquidity, earnings stability, and sensitivity to market movements. This course combines the regulatory framework with hands-on ratio work, stress testing, and portfolio analysis. Furthermore, it covers credit modelling, liquidity metrics, and early warning signals. As a result, participants learn to reach defensible conclusions and communicate risk clearly to committees, regulators, and boards.
Advanced Bank Risk Analysis Course Objectives
- Interpret bank financial statements and identify the key risk drivers.
- Analyse capital adequacy under Basel III, including CET1, Tier 1, and total capital ratios.
- Assess asset quality using NPL ratios, coverage ratios, and provisioning analysis.
- Apply the CAMELS rating framework to evaluate bank soundness.
- Measure liquidity using LCR, NSFR, and cash flow gap analysis.
- Evaluate earnings quality, net interest margin, and cost-to-income performance.
- Quantify interest rate risk, FX risk, and market risk exposures.
- Build credit risk models using PD, LGD, EAD, and expected credit loss under IFRS 9.
- Perform stress testing and scenario analysis on loan portfolios.
- Design early warning indicators and risk dashboards for portfolio monitoring.
Course Methodology
- Interactive lectures with real bank financial statements and disclosures.
- Ratio analysis workshops using live and anonymised bank data.
