2 June 16-21, 2013 Toronto, Canada Register Now TC International Program for Banking Supervisors Program Overview Supervisors internationally are grappling on how to connect the dots around global banking reforms and the associated guidance that is being introduced. These changes impact their own organizations and internal processes. And, of course, these reforms have a major impact on the institutions they supervise. The program is meant for supervisors to share and discuss their practical implementation experiences and challenges. Another important area to be discussed is that while the intentions of global regulatory bodies are noble, the question remains on whether these initiatives will mitigate or at least minimize the impact of the next crisis. New global reforms such as Basel III, Macro Prudential surveillance, Resolution and Recovery Plans, stress testing, Revised Basel Core Principles, Corporate Governance and additional requirements on global and national systemically important financial institutions are in various stages of implementation internationally. A panel discussion on the first day, led by regulatory experts will discuss the above two areas and set the stage for the program. In addition, later in the week, we have devoted half a day to hear from senior persons from the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, Canada (OSFI), a Chief Risk Officer from one of the large Canadian banks, as well as an independent financial services organization GRI (Global Risk Institute in Financial Services) to provide their own view on what supervisors and the industry should be doing to mitigate a crisis in the future. This banking program is an annual event that is conducted in Toronto, Canada. In addition to a key theme that is chosen each year, the program will include our popular Action Planning and Effective Stakeholder Communication topics. Along with theoretical presentations, there will be group interaction, case studies and panel discussions, to allow for effective sharing of ideas and best practices. Other relevant topics that participants will find interesting that will be presented by expert speakers and practitioners: Contingency planning for a crisis and why it is important. A real life liquidity crisis. Using Northern Rock as the case study. A real life foreign exchange crisis. Using Indonesia as the case study. Macro prudential surveillance and how to go about implementing such a process. Supervisory colleges and cross border supervision and how to make them more effective. Risk Based Supervision. Did it work during the crisis? What modifications, if any, are being made by supervisory agencies? Resolution and Recovery Plan initiatives. How these are being rolled out by Supervisors. Dodd-Frank and Basel III activities in the United States. Program Objectives There are many who would argue that more regulation and capital need to be relatively balanced with more intense and pro-active risk based supervision and early intervention. Hopefully, the presentations and group discussions will allow you to make your own conclusion of what the right balance should be for your jurisdiction. The objectives of the program are to bring together expert supervisors and regulators, together with participants from both developing and developed countries to discuss and share their views and perspectives on: What impact the global financial reform changes are having on their: i. Organization structures and resources ii. On how they carry out their on site and monitoring activities Whether there are any unintended consequences that might result from these reforms What impact these changes are having on the institutions they supervise Other practical supervisory changes that have been identified which they believe would be effective and how these are being implemented in their jurisdictions Whether these new reforms will be effective in mitigating the next crisis, i.e. will they be effective in strengthening supervisory oversight What the early results are showing from the implementation of any new reforms and other changes Upon completion of this 5-day course, participants will better understand how other countries are implementing some of the more relevant banking reforms in their jurisdictions. In addition the course should allow allow them to develop processes to better conduct their supervisory work. English Language Competency is Required. Who should attend? This program is designed for mid to senior-level staff involved in regulatory and supervisory activities at central banks, supervisory authorities, deposit insurers and resolution agencies who want to expand their knowledge, share best practices, and be better prepared for future financial crises. Participants should have at least 3 years working experience in financial sector supervision, analysis, or policy and planning. Group Exercises and Case Studies Participants who have attended past Toronto Centre programs have rated the Toronto Centre very highly for the case studies used in our programs. These are delivered by our experienced Program Leaders, who are regulatory and supervisory experts. Sessions are highly interactive, using group activities to allow participants to learn from each other, share experiences, and compare best practices from countries around the world. Prerequisites Participants will be expected to complete pre-course reading that should take approximately 3 to 4 hours. In addition, participants will be required to identify a key challenge they face at their home agency. Throughout the program, participants will work on an Action Plan to address this challenge; additional details on Action Planning will be sent to participants once accepted to the program.
