Central banks operate under heightened scrutiny when it comes to balance sheet resilience, governance, and the clarity of financial risk disclosures. This 5-day masterclass is designed for central bank finance, risk, treasury support, and internal audit teams who need to challenge assumptions, identify disclosure gaps, and improve the decision-usefulness of IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 reporting—beyond boilerplate compliance.
