Governance and Compliance in Banking Supervision & Regulatory Compliance Training Course in Cape Town, South Africa
Classroom training in Cape Town · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 3,800
Banks that fail a supervisory examination face penalties, restrictions on growth and a loss of depositor trust, while supervisors who cannot assess risk consistently leave whole financial systems exposed. Five days bring both sides of the table together around the rules that govern sound banking. You review how boards, audit committees and senior management set risk appetite and hold the compliance function accountable. Regulatory sessions cover Basel capital and liquidity standards, the Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision, large exposure limits and licensing conditions.
You then build a compliance monitoring programme, map regulatory change, and design controls for anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, sanctions screening and customer due diligence. Supervision sessions introduce CAMELS-style ratings, risk-based examination planning, off-site analysis and the preparation of examination findings and corrective action plans. The programme is suited to compliance officers, internal auditors, risk managers, central bank and regulatory staff, company secretaries and directors of banks and microfinance institutions. It runs in person in African and Gulf cities, online or in-house. A CPD-accredited certificate is awarded, and you leave able to draft a compliance plan for your institution.

About this course
Regulatory expectations for banks across Africa have risen steadily, with central banks adopting Basel-aligned capital and liquidity rules, tougher anti-money laundering standards and closer attention to the quality of boards and management. At the same time, banks face a growing volume of circulars, returns and examination requests, and a single compliance failure can reach the headlines within hours. Strong governance and a competent compliance function are now a condition of doing business.
The Governance and Compliance in Banking Supervision & Regulatory Compliance Training Course explains how the supervisory framework works and what it demands inside the institution. Participants examine the roles of the board, committees, risk, compliance and internal audit, and the three lines model that ties them together. They study prudential requirements, reporting to the regulator, consumer protection and financial crime controls, and learn how supervisors plan examinations, rate institutions and follow up on findings.
Teaching combines structured input with worked examples, sample examination reports and short case studies of governance failures. Participants practise drafting compliance plans, responding to findings and briefing the board, and they leave with templates they can adapt immediately.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the responsibilities of the board, committees and the three lines in a bank.
- Explain the main elements of Basel capital, liquidity and large exposure requirements.
