Live Online Governance and Compliance in Central Banking & Monetary Operations Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
A central bank's credibility rests on how it is governed. Independence, accountable decision making and sound control of monetary operations protect public trust, and lapses in any of them can unsettle markets. Five days give central bank officers a structured way to examine governance and compliance across open market operations, standing facilities, reserve requirements, foreign exchange intervention and reserve management. You review board and committee design, delegation of authority, conflicts of interest, transparency and accountability to legislatures.
Compliance sessions cover the three lines of defence, operational risk, segregation of duties, audit of treasury and dealing room activity, anti-money laundering obligations, and oversight of payment and settlement systems against international principles. Participants test controls using sample transaction trails and draft a compliance monitoring plan. The programme is intended for central bank directors and managers, internal auditors, risk and compliance officers, treasury and market operations staff, bank supervisors and finance ministry officials who work with the central bank. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, followed by a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can map governance gaps, prioritise control improvements and brief senior committees with confidence.

About this course
Central banks hold the nation's reserves, steer liquidity and oversee the payments system, so errors in governance carry unusually high costs. Stakeholders including legislators, the International Monetary Fund, rating agencies and the public increasingly expect clear mandates, documented decision processes and strong controls over every monetary operation.
The Governance and Compliance in Central Banking & Monetary Operations Training Course applies a governance and compliance lens to the core activities of a modern central bank. Participants start with institutional design: mandate, independence, board structure, decision rights and disclosure. They then follow operations from instrument design through dealing, settlement and accounting, identifying where control points, limits and reporting lines belong. Later sessions address reserve management governance, foreign exchange operations, payment systems oversight, internal audit and the handling of regulatory breaches.
Learning is practical. Delegates review sample policies and transaction trails, test controls against checklists, rehearse reporting to a board risk committee and prepare a compliance monitoring plan tailored to their own department. The course also gives time to exchange experience on reforms undertaken in different central banks.
Training Objectives
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Assess central bank governance arrangements against recognised good practice.
- Map decision rights, delegations and reporting lines for monetary operations.
- Identify operational and compliance risks in liquidity management and reserve management.
- Design internal controls and limits for dealing, settlement and accounting processes.
- Apply the three lines of defence model within a central bank.
- Evaluate payment and settlement system oversight arrangements.
- Plan compliance testing and report findings clearly to senior committees.
- Respond to breaches with proportionate remediation and lessons learned.
