The recent economic meltdown has further underscored the need to develop and implement international standards that would offer more protection to the international financial system against financial and operational risks. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in conjunction with bank governors of nearly 30 countries have proposed a new set of capital measures which will (within the Basel II framework) aim to augment the how banks are regulated and supervised in order to minimize the systemic risk in the event of another financial crises. The new laws will be tougher and have a broad impact on the banking sector both here in the US and abroad. By all many accounts, the US has reaffirmed its commitment to implement the new Standards by 2011.

Although many of the changes will initially and most completely impact major financial institutions, the paradigm that they will usher in will have an impact on all banks large & small. To review these significant changes in especially with regard its advanced implementation, The Knowledge Group is producing a two-hour LIVE Webcast on Basel II and these revisions. A panel of distinguished experts from the field will gather to assist you in learning more about Basel II and how your firm can adapt to these changes.
