Stress Testing and Capital Adequacy - Understanding the Programs, Rules and Issues

Why Should You Attend:

If your duties include, or are affected by, Risk management; financial planning (for example, concerning plans for payment of dividends); or compliance with the requirements of banking regulation and supervision, then you will benefit from the insights this program provides into the Capital Adequacy and Stress Testing rules and programs of the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

The outcomes of the interaction between a bank or other financial institutions and Capital Adequacy and Stress Testing rules and programs have important practical consequences. The regulatory authorities in certain cases can disallow an institution’s capital plan, which can result in (for example) restrictions on the payment of dividends.
