The ICAAP Workshop; Preparing, Reviewing & Deployment

• Both the ICAAP and ILAAP are probably the most important dynamic risk tools available to a financial business. We will explain in clear and understandable terms why this is and will demonstrate how these critically important risk management tools can work effectively for you
• The ICAAP is more than just a document it is a dynamic ICAAP Asset Management We will explain clearly and concisely why this is, how it should be deployed and why it must be regularly updated. We cover both ICAAP Regulation & ICAAP Modelling in this ICAAP training course.
• At the heart of the ICAAP are risk categories and risk management. These are core competencies for us
• We have been established for over 20 years and have been appointed as Master Trainers of ICAAP Risk to management at all levels at three of the world’s largest Banks
• We are also specialists in advising/training small, emerging, challenger, and medium-sized banks and are well aware of how difficult defining “proportionate” can be.
• All our trainers are experts on this topic and have retired from very senior positions in financial services where ICAAP framework creation was a mandatory requirement. This enables them to share their past real-life experiences with delegates which we find enhances and improves the learning experience considerably
• We are always judged by our results which speak for themselves. The feedback received from previous delegates has always been excellent

• To explain the significance and purpose of the ICAAP and ILAAP and their critical role in risk management and how ICAAP & ILAAP Regulation impacts the firm,
• To understand that it can be adopted proportionately - so that simpler and less complex businesses don’t need a “War & Peace” version. We will explain clearly what is required in practice and what the PRA expect from both ILAAP & ICAAP submissions in order to meet their definition of “proportionate”
• To appreciate that it is a process, not just a document.
• To understand that the ICAAP must be constantly fine-tuned and updated if it is to perform its function fully
• To know how to prepare, populate and complete an ICAAP in accordance with the regulations and pitched at a level appropriate for your business
• To understand it is a 3-5-year forward-looking risk document that compels top management to plan for the risks they are prepared to take and to ensure that enough capital and through the ILAAP, liquidity, is available to support those risks
• To appreciate the challenges that will be faced at both the implementation and updating stage and at the ICAAP Modelling stage
• To understand why regulators, consider the ICAAP to be a crucial risk management tool
• To consider the impact of ESG & the Imminent Post Brexit Financial Reforms
