The Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have recently reached an agreement regarding Basel II implementation. The agreement will lead to the implementation of a new Risk-Based Capital Rules for Commercial Banks. Basel II is said to be the largest and most comprehensive issue faced by financial services institutions. As many organizations begin to take steps down the path to Basel II compliance, management must be extremely cautious.
The Knowledge Congress has assembled a team of experts to help companies understand the new regulations and analyze the changes and their impact on the companies servicing the industry. These experts will present their findings, which includes a "best practice" panel at a comprehensive two-hour live teleconference.
