Program Description

Toronto Centre’s flagship program on core supervision is designed to equip financial supervisors and regulators in banking, insurance, securities, and other financial sectors to address today’s challenges. It covers the key concepts of core supervision and builds participants’ leadership skills to advocate for sound regulation and supervision with leaders from politics and industry.

Through Toronto Centre’s proven, interactive approach to learning, using group activities and real-life case studies, participants will learn:

  • The objectives, principles, and best practices of core supervision
  • The impact of technological innovation and competition on financial markets
  • Risk-based supervision
  • How to balance financial stability, innovation, and responsible market development

This program is open to all qualified applicants who wish to enhance their understanding of effective risk-based supervision across all sectors.

The Core Curriculum Program is a mandatory Level 1 program of Toronto Centre’s Certified Financial Supervisor (CFS) designation.
