Data and Analytics for Banking Supervision & Regulatory Compliance Training Course in South Africa
Classroom cohorts in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town · live online · in-house anywhere in South Africa
Supervisors and compliance teams receive more returns, transaction files and risk reports than any manual review can cope with, and weak signals of distress are easily buried. Five days show how to turn that volume into early warning. You work with supervisory data sets covering capital adequacy, liquidity coverage, asset quality, concentration and large exposures, learn the structure of regulatory returns under Basel standards, and apply data quality checks, peer group analysis, trend and outlier detection to flag banks and branches that need closer attention.
Practical sessions use Excel, Power BI and an introduction to Python to build dashboards, early warning indicators and simple stress-testing models. Compliance topics include transaction monitoring, anti-money laundering analytics, sanctions screening logic, model validation and governance of supervisory data. The programme suits bank supervisors, central bank analysts, compliance and risk officers, internal auditors, regulatory reporting managers and data teams in commercial banks. It is offered in classroom and in-house formats and closes with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can design an indicator set, document the data lineage behind it and present findings that stand up to challenge from a bank's management.
About this course
Banking regulators across Africa and beyond are moving from periodic inspection toward continuous, data-driven oversight. Digital lending, mobile money partnerships and fast-growing balance sheets create risks that appear first in the numbers, long before an on-site visit. Banks themselves face the same pressure: returns must be accurate, reconciled and explainable, and compliance monitoring must be able to demonstrate how alerts are generated and cleared.
This programme equips supervisors, analysts and compliance professionals with the analytical toolkit for that shift. It starts with the architecture of supervisory data and the quality controls that make analysis trustworthy, then covers ratio analysis, risk indicators, peer comparison and stress testing. Later sessions address monitoring of money laundering and conduct risk, the use of visual dashboards, and governance of models and automated reports so that results remain defensible.
Learning is practical. Participants work with anonymised bank data, build indicators and dashboards, and test thresholds for sensitivity. They also practise writing findings in plain language for a supervisory committee or a bank board. The final session turns each participant's work into an implementation plan for their own institution.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the data flows and regulatory returns that support risk-based supervision.
- Apply data quality tests to detect errors and inconsistencies in submitted returns.
- Calculate and interpret capital, liquidity, asset quality and earnings indicators across a peer group.
- Build early warning indicators and dashboards using Excel and Power BI.
- Run basic stress tests and sensitivity analysis on a bank balance sheet.
- Use analytics to support anti-money laundering and transaction monitoring reviews.
- Document models, assumptions and data lineage for audit and supervisory review.
