Objectives

The objective of the training is to introduce newly elected directors to the fundamentals of a bank's prudential and financial management.

The aim is to give directors from outside the financial sector the keys to understanding the principles of Basel III, the key ratios, their interpretation and how they contribute to the sound management of a bank. The training also deals with the responsibilities of board members with regard to risk monitoring and the bank's financial situation.

Upon completion of this training, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of the Basel III framework, financial ratios and their meaning, as well as their accountability.

Please note that the training is not a technical sessions and is not intended to explain the calculation of ratios in detail.
