Event Synopsis:
Even before the last economic Tsunami, there have been continuing efforts to revise the banking and finance industry’s capital requirements. First came Basel I the Basel II then … well you get the idea. The financial meltdown led to Dodd-Frank – the most sweeping regulatory reforms in nearly 100 years. Included in Dodd-Frank is the Collins Amendment which aims to lay out minimum leverage and risk based capital requirements for nearly all companies that are supervised by the Federal Reserve. This includes companies that in the past would not normally be considered or regulated as banks. While aimed at the largest so called Tier 1 institutions, everyone should be aware of these important regulations as they represent the new paradigm under which all institutions regulated by the Fed will need to follow. Under the Collins Amendment, financial institutions are required to follow the generally applicable leverage capital requirements and generally applicable risk-based capital requirements. These also include understanding the most significant issues in the mix including:
- Financial Subsidiary Deductions
- Basel III and Capital
- Effects of the Application of the Collins Amendment to financial institutions
- Exceptions
- Up to the minute regulatory updates
A panel of industry leaders and governance experts is being assembled by the Knowledge Group to discuss compliance policies under the Collins Amendments. Their presentation will be aired in a Live two-hour Webcast.
