FinRisk – BTRM 1st Annual Bank Risk Conference (London)

We are very pleased to announce that the BTRM in association with FinRisk will be hosting its first Annual Bank Risk Conference in London.

THEME:  GUIDELINES BEST-PRACTICE FOR OPTIMISING THE BALANCE SHEET IN AN ERA OF HEAVY REGULATION AND INCREASING COMPETITION

The banking industry worldwide is engaged in full-scale implementation of Basel III/CRDIV. But whereas Basel I and Basel II required adherence to just one minimum standard, the total capital ratio, Basel III demands compliance with six minimum standards. These standards reach across the balance sheet and are inter-related and inter-dependent. Given the higher cost of capital and liquidity required, it is an imperative to optimise the bank?s balance sheet shape and structure in order to achieving maximum efficiency whilst also maintaining compliance with each ratio minimum standard.

The urgent priority for all banks irrespective of size or business model is strategic asset-liability management and balance sheet risk oversight. This conference is designed to enable bankers across the risk and customer-facing spectrum to familiarise themselves with the latest developments. Delegates will leave the conference equipped with a toolkit of the latest techniques in balance sheet risk management and methodology.

OBJECTIVES

This conference aims to raise awareness and understanding of the multiple interdependencies between the Basel III ratios, and how best practitioners can work towards implementing effective strategic ALM processes and balance sheet optimization.
