Overview
Developed in collaboration with Forvis-Mazars’ Quantitative Solutions practice, this two-day Masterclass offers an in-person deep dive into two core areas of regulatory focus that are driving change across the industry. Interventions from experts at the UK PRA, BaFIN and leading industry practitioners will provide unique insights, promising a benefit that is different to other trainings programmes.
Day 1, 5th May 2026 - FRTB and Emerging Trends in Market Risk
From FRTB regulatory principles through to applied Case Studies, the focus will be on combining theory with hands-on application to ensure participants are armed with the appropriate tools to effectively navigate and implement the new framework. Other topical subjects such as SPV repacks and Digital assets will also be presented and debated.
Day 2, 6th May 2026 - Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR)
Evolving regulatory expectations for CCR have been shaped by recent financial crises and the need for banks to adapt to new market dynamics. From regulatory expectations, modelling challenges, and limitations through to applied Case Studies, the focus will be on laying out the key challenges of CCR and SA-CVA modelling and exploring best practices for how to address these.
Participants will be given the option of participating in one or both days of the Masterclass.
What’s included:
Written content across key concepts, designed for deep, structured learning;
Valuable interventions from regulators and leading industry practitioners;
Opportunities for networking amongst peer practitioners over lunch and a canape reception
