Course Overview

  • This course will provide an in-depth exposure to a capital planning process, overall capital adequacy, and the ability to sustain capital in various stressed environments. The goal of this course is to provide a foundation to effectively assess an organization’s capital adequacy relative to its overall risk and its plan for maintaining appropriate capital levels.
