Key regulatory, market and capital developments delivered through the ICAAP Forum member portal, with email notifications.
Monthly Economic & Banking Outlook
Regulatory updates, economist perspectives and analyst insights on the issues shaping bank capital, liquidity and strategy.
Quarterly Simulation Cycles
A designed scenario, economic briefing, live simulation, faculty debrief and confidential peer benchmark.
Structured Learning

ICAAP Decision Lab in Hanoi
The final cycle brings members together in person for simulation, peer exchange and the conclusion of the annual programme.
What ICAAP means in practice
ICAAP is no longer a submission exercise. It is the way the bank is run.
Capital adequacy connects strategy, risk appetite, treasury, finance, liquidity and the board. ICAAP is where those decisions meet.
The challenge is not simply producing the annual submission. It is ensuring that teams can explain, challenge and defend the capital position—and make coherent management decisions when conditions deteriorate.
ILAAP extends that discipline to liquidity, funding and the bank's ability to remain resilient under stress.
The Forum gives teams a practical environment in which to rehearse these decisions before a real shock, board challenge or supervisory review.
Build a repeatable decision discipline before the next shock or review.
The ICAAP Forum turns annual compliance work into a continuous decision-making discipline. Teams practise how capital, liquidity, funding, earnings and risk appetite interact, then review the consequences with faculty and compare approaches privately with peers.
Better-connected decisions
Connect strategy, risk appetite, capital, liquidity, funding and earnings in one decision environment.
Stronger management explanations
Build the ability to explain, challenge and defend management actions before boards and supervisors.
Greater preparedness under stress
Rehearse difficult decisions in advance rather than encountering them for the first time during a real event.
Prepare. Simulate. Debrief. Improve.
The Forum follows a repeatable cycle throughout the year.
Prepare
Build a common language through structured learning, practical exercises and economic and regulatory briefings.
Simulate
Work through quarterly scenarios in a virtual bank and make decisions across capital, liquidity, funding, lending and risk appetite.
Debrief
Review the consequences with faculty, challenge the reasoning behind key decisions and compare approaches confidentially with peers.
Improve
Apply the lessons from each cycle and build a more consistent decision discipline across the year.
ONE SEAT. A CONTINUOUS PROGRAMME.
Your membership works throughout the year. Members combine scenario practice, expert discussion, peer benchmarking and structured learning across the annual programme.
Quarterly Simulation Cycles
A designed scenario, economic briefing, live virtual-bank simulation, faculty debrief and peer benchmark.
Faculty-Led Briefings and Debriefs
Discuss the environment, challenge assumptions and understand the trade-offs behind each management decision.
Weekly Intelligence
The ICAAP Forum Newsletter covering regulatory, market and capital developments.
Monthly Economic & Banking Outlook
Economist perspectives, regulatory developments and analyst insights.
Structured Learning Library
Practitioner courses supported by exercises and assessment throughout the programme.
Private Peer Benchmarking
Understand how your team's decisions and outcomes compare with anonymised participating institutions.
ICAAP Decision Lab
The final in-person simulation and peer exchange in Hanoi.
One programme. Different value across the institution.
The benefit is felt across risk, finance, treasury, ALM, liquidity and learning and development. Institutional teams should normally include four to six participants.
CRO / Head of ICAAP
Build a team that can explain, challenge and defend the capital position and management actions under stress.
Treasury / ALM / Liquidity
Connect funding, liquidity, IRRBB and capital decisions in one practical environment.
CFO / Finance
Make the capital, earnings and balance-sheet trade-offs behind management actions more explicit.
Business Heads
Understand how scenario assumptions translate into balance-sheet exposures, capital, liquidity, funding and risk-appetite decisions.
Board Risk Committee
Turn technical ICAAP work into management choices that the board can understand and act on.
L&D / Talent
Develop and assess capabilities that boards increasingly expect management teams to have.
A continuous learning experience alongside practical simulation.
Each membership includes access to a practitioner learning library designed to support development before and between simulation cycles.
Learning is reinforced through exercises and assessment, while the quarterly simulations give participants an opportunity to apply that knowledge to management decisions.
The programme includes topics such as:
Introduction to ICAAP
ALM, Liquidity and Balance-Sheet Strategy
Basel Finalised Reforms and Capital Strategy
Repo, Collateral and Secured Funding Strategy
Stress Testing and Scenario Design
Capital Planning and Allocation
Liquidity Risk and ILAAP
Risk Appetite and Board Reporting
Additional modules covering operational resilience, climate and ESG risk, model risk and recovery and resolution planning are planned across the programme.
Certification
Participants who complete the programme requirements receive a programme certificate at the conclusion of the ICAAP Decision Lab in Hanoi.
Experience in simulation, supervision, markets, liquidity and bank risk.
The Forum is led by faculty and advisors with experience in banking simulation, financial stability, stress testing, ALM, liquidity risk, operational resilience and bank strategy.

- Finance
- Risk appetite and board reporting
Start with the complimentary introductory roundtable.
Join a complimentary online roundtable exploring what good ICAAP looks like across ASEAN and the wider Asia Pacific.
Your team will discuss a current economic or banking scenario, experience a live simulation demonstration and see how management decisions flow through a virtual bank.
Bring your team, see how a quarter feels and leave with a clear view of what the annual programme can build for your institution.
- A current economic or banking scenario
- Faculty-led discussion
- Introduction to the virtual-bank simulation
- Management decision exercise
- Simulation results and consequences
- Peer discussion and faculty challenge
- Overview of the annual membership
The annual programme culminates in the ICAAP Decision Lab in Hanoi.
The Decision Lab brings participants together on-site for an industry outlook and a sequence of live scenarios.
The emphasis is on practical decision-making, constructive challenge and peer learning.
