A bank's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) submission is a critical element of its regulatory compliance framework, as well as a resource- and time-intensive discipline. Its importance in the regulatory relationship cannot be over-emphasised, as evidenced by the many PRA Policy Statements that have a direct impact on the ICAAP process and output. Recent areas of focus from the regulatory authorities, such as Climate Risk and Operational Resilience, also need to be captured satisfactorily in the ICAAP submission.

This workshop delves deep into best-practice principles and draws out the main pointers and processes necessary to ensure efficient ICAAP results, as well assist with delivering an optimised balance sheet management and capital planning strategy. It is appropriate to every banking institution, irrespective of size or business model. It will demonstrate a range of practical steps that can be taken to assist an efficient and effective ICAAP process, as well as suggest industry good-practice.

By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

• Operate an efficient and optimised ICAAP process that benefits the entire bank
• Obtain presentable results sooner and with greater effectiveness
• Transfer knowledge bank-wide on ?What makes a good ICAAP??
• Manage the balance sheet efficiently to account for new capital regulations such as Basel IV and CRDV
• Set up a process map to enable effective Board involvement in the ICAAP review and challenge process
