Basel III Regulatory Update

Find out how the Dodd-Frank Act affects the Basel III Accord and how to implement the final rules in your bank.

Following the financial crisis that began in 2008, international banking regulators have been working together to increase the stability and resiliency of the global financial system. The Basel III Accord is a cornerstone of that international initiative. The Basel III Accord, which represents the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's proposals for capital and liquidity requirements for banking institutions, was formally endorsed by the G-20 in November 2010, and the regulatory authorities of member countries are now working to implement these new requirements. The U.S. bank regulatory agencies have implemented significant portions of the Basel III Accord. However, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains requirements for regulatory capital that are not completely consistent with the Basel III Accord, and accordingly the final U.S. rules differ from the Basel III Accord in significant ways. This on-demand webinar will provide detailed information about the Basel III Accord and what it means for banks in the United States and elsewhere. The on-demand webinar will also explore some of the key differences between the Basel III Accord and the U.S. implementation thereof. You should come away from this program with a foundational understanding of bank capital regulations and their evolution in the wake of the global financial crisis.
