Banking systems across the region have grown more complex, with cross-border groups, mobile money partnerships, digital lenders and fast-moving fintech competitors. Supervisors must keep pace while respecting international standards, and banks must demonstrate compliance in a way that stands up to scrutiny. Weak supervision allows hidden credit losses, liquidity stress and financial crime to build until they threaten depositors and stability.

The Advanced Banking Supervision & Regulatory Compliance Training Course is aimed at professionals who already understand banking basics and need depth. It starts with the supervisory framework and the Basel Core Principles, then moves through the building blocks of an examination: risk profiling, off-site monitoring, on-site inspection, rating and reporting. Technical modules examine capital, liquidity, asset quality and earnings, along with governance, operational and technology risk. A dedicated block explores AML/CFT, sanctions and conduct supervision, followed by the design of corrective measures and enforcement.

Delegates analyse anonymised bank financial statements, draft examination findings and take part in supervisory committee simulations. They finish with a supervisory plan for a sample institution, along with a personal programme for strengthening supervision or compliance back at their workplace.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Apply the risk-based supervision cycle from risk profiling to follow-up of findings.
• Assign and defend CAMELS or risk-matrix ratings using financial and qualitative evidence.
• Interpret Basel capital adequacy and liquidity measures, including LCR and NSFR.
• Evaluate credit portfolio quality, classification and IFRS 9 provisioning practices.
• Review governance, internal control and risk management frameworks in a bank.
• Test AML/CFT and sanctions compliance programmes during inspections.
• Interpret stress test results and their consequences for capital planning.
• Select proportionate corrective and enforcement measures and document them.

The course is designed for senior and mid-level professionals in supervision and bank compliance, including:

• Bank examiners and supervisors in central banks and regulatory authorities
• Policy and prudential regulation officers
• Chief compliance officers and compliance managers in banks
• Chief risk officers and credit risk managers
• Internal auditors in banks and financial groups
• External auditors and financial sector consultants
• Financial intelligence unit and AML analysts
• Legal advisers handling banking regulation
• Deposit insurance and resolution authority staff

Participants leave with:

• An examination planning template covering scope, sampling and information requests.
• A worked CAMELS rating file with evidence and rationale.
• A set of off-site ratio dashboards for capital, liquidity and asset quality.
• An AML/CFT inspection checklist aligned with risk-based expectations.
• Sample wording for examination findings, supervisory letters and remediation plans.
• A personal plan to raise supervisory or compliance standards in their institution.

Delivery draws on supervisory practice and keeps theory tied to real decisions. The programme uses:

• Interactive briefings on international standards and supervisory techniques
• Anonymised bank financial statements and prudential returns for analysis
• Spreadsheet labs for capital, liquidity and ratio calculations
• Mock examination teams that plan, rate and present findings
• Facilitated discussion of enforcement dilemmas and proportionality

On completion, participants who have attended all sessions and completed the examination exercises receive a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion issued by Vision Reach Global Consultancy.

The certificate recognises advanced professional development in banking supervision and compliance.
