Fundamentals of Banking Supervision & Regulatory Compliance Training Course in Pretoria, South Africa
Classroom training in Pretoria · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 3,200
When a bank fails or is fined, the cause is usually traced to weak capital, poor lending controls or compliance gaps that supervisors had warned about. Understanding what regulators look for, and why, is the first step to meeting those expectations. Five days introduce the framework from the ground up: licensing, the purpose of prudential regulation, Basel capital and liquidity standards, risk-based supervision, on-site and off-site examination, anti-money laundering controls and consumer protection. You also see how a compliance function is organised, how breaches are reported and how remediation is tracked.
New bank supervisors, central bank and financial regulator staff, compliance officers, internal auditors, risk analysts and finance professionals in commercial banks, microfinance institutions and SACCOs will benefit. No prior supervisory experience is needed. Sessions run in classrooms in African and Gulf cities, online, or in-house for an institution's own staff. Practical work uses sample ratio data, a mock examination request list and a compliance calendar. Afterwards you can interpret key supervisory ratios, read an examination finding and draft a response with an action plan. Successful participants receive a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
Financial stability depends on supervisors and banks sharing a clear understanding of the rules. Since the global financial crisis, standards on capital, liquidity, governance and financial crime have tightened, and institutions across Africa have had to adapt quickly. Staff entering supervision or compliance roles are often expected to contribute before they have had a structured introduction to how the system fits together.
The Fundamentals of Banking Supervision & Regulatory Compliance Training Course provides that foundation. It starts with the reasons for regulating banks, the structure of the financial safety net and the main supervisory approaches. Participants then study capital adequacy, asset quality, earnings and liquidity indicators, learn how supervisors assess risk management and governance, and review the cycle of licensing, inspection, enforcement and resolution.
The final sessions concentrate on compliance in practice: customer due diligence, suspicious transaction reporting, sanctions screening, conduct and complaint handling, and how to maintain a regulatory change register. Teaching uses simplified balance sheets and short cases so that participants can apply each concept immediately and leave with tools suitable for their own institutions.
Training Objectives
On completion, participants will be able to:
- Explain why banks are regulated and how supervisory authorities are organised.
- Interpret capital, asset quality, liquidity and earnings indicators.
- Describe the main elements of the Basel framework.
- Outline how risk-based supervision and examinations are planned and carried out.
- Apply customer due diligence and suspicious activity reporting principles.
- Prepare for an examination and respond to findings with a corrective plan.
- Maintain a compliance monitoring programme and breach register.
