MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE OFFICIAL PRESENTATIONS
We will send you 3
emails.
The
first email (704 slides) covers all the
presentations that are needed for the CBiiPro Exam.
All the questions of the exam are based on these
slides.
We cover the Enhancements to the Basel
II framework, July 2009, Supplemental Pillar 2
Guidance
(Supervisory Review Process) from the Bank
for International Settlements
You can find the
course synopsis at:
www.basel-ii-association.com/Certified_Basel_ii_Professional.htm
The
second and the third emails
cover the implementation of the Basel ii framework in
the United States of America and the European Economic
Area. There presentations are especially important for
professionals working in multinational or large
financial organizations.
These presentations
are:
- Basel II in
the United States of America (235 slides)
-
Regulatory Arbitrage after Basel ii (233 slides)
- The Financial Conglomerates Directive (183
slides)
- The Capital Requirements Directive of
the European Economic Area (426 slides)
The Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) is the common
framework for the implementation of Basel ii in
European Union. If you understand the CRD, you can
work not only for the implementation of the Basel ii
framework in the 30 countries of the European Economic
Area, but also around the world for multinational
banks and financial organizations with European
operations.
The presentations not only cover
the European directives, but also include topics like:
Hedge Funds and the Capital Requirements Directive,
Securitization and the Capital Requirements Directive.
QUESTION:
Why in a Basel ii certification program we need to understand the
Financial Conglomerates Directive?
ANSWER:
Because we have a very different Basel ii implementation in
each of the following structures:
A. The bank is the regulated entity at the
head of the group
B. The bank is under a mixed financial holding company (MFHC)
C. The bank is under a financial holding company (FHC)
D. The bank is under an insurance holding company (IHC)
Only the first 704 slides (first email), that cover the Basel ii
principles, are needed for the exam
