This 2 day course covers bank stress testing, analysis and valuation. The programme begins with foundation work covering the basic bank business model, bank accounting and bank regulation under Basel 3. Exercises emphasise the role of stress testing banks’ capital and liquidity in dividing banks into those that are more susceptible to bank failure and those that are likely to survive. The appropriate selection of gone concern and going concern valuation methods is then deployed to value banks’ equity and credit securities.
This course is also available remotely via LFS Live.
