Overview

This eCourse consists of two modules. Module 1 looks in detail at the changes brought about by the Basel III framework in relation to capital adequacy.

Module 2 details different approaches (standardized approaches and internal models approaches) to measure exposure to the different types of risk. Capital adequacy measures the ability of a bank to survive losses under both normal and stress conditions.
