Basel II and Net Report

What is Basel II?

Basel II, also called The New Accord (the correct full name is the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards - A Revised Framework) is the second Basel Accord and represents recommendations by bank supervisors and central bankers from the 12 countries making up the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to revise the international standards for measuring the adequacy of a bank's capital. It was created to promote greater consistency in the way banks and banking regulators approach risk management across national borders. The Bank for International Settlements (often confused with the BCBS) supplies the secretariat for the BCBS and is not itself the BCBS.

Basel II aims at:

Ensuring that capital allocation is more risk sensitive.
Separating operational risk from credit risk, and quantifying both
Attempting to align economic and regulatory capital more closely to reduce the scope for regulatory arbitrage.

Improve your understanding of the issues raised by Basel II for the Internal Controls that affect the IT function within your organization. Net Report's interactive Training workshops cover the key issues and challenges and advise on the related internal control frameworks: COSO, COBIT, ISO/IEC 17799 and the relationship and alignment between them.
