The growing complexity of the banking sector requires supervisory authorities to adopt advanced risk management strategies supported by modern business intelligence (BI) tools. Effective use of BI enables supervisors to analyze vast amounts of financial and operational data, identify emerging risks, and ensure timely interventions. This training course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to apply BI platforms in risk-based supervision, compliance monitoring, and decision-making, ultimately enhancing the stability and resilience of the banking system.

Through a mix of theoretical insights and practical applications, participants will explore how to integrate BI dashboards, predictive analytics, and data visualization into supervisory frameworks. The program highlights how risk management processes can be strengthened through data-driven approaches that improve transparency, efficiency, and accountability in regulatory oversight. By the end of the course, attendees will be capable of leveraging BI tools to support effective supervision, enforce compliance standards, and foster confidence in the financial system.
