Program Overview: What is BaFin MaRisk and Regulatory Compliance Corporate Training?
BaFin MaRisk & Regulatory Compliance Corporate Training is Edstellar's instructor-led program for risk and compliance teams at German banks and financial institutions. Participants master the MaRisk architecture: governance and risk strategy, the three lines model, risk measurement and limits, ICAAP, stress testing, and regulatory reporting. It is built for teams who must prove their risk management works under BaFin scrutiny.
Training runs on examination logic across six modules. Participants assess governance structures, test risk-bearing capacity, and evaluate internal control systems in guided practice sessions grounded in real MaRisk sections. Instructors coach teams through evidence gathering and supervisory-style interviews, sharpening answers before they count. The program closes with a capstone mock regulatory examination, where teams run a full MaRisk self-assessment and present a prioritized remediation plan.
MaRisk leaves no room for theater: BaFin examinations test whether risk strategy, controls, and reporting actually function under stress. Institutions that document without operating discover this at the worst moment. This program teaches your team to run MaRisk as a living system, so the next examination confirms what you already know.
The capstone is a mock regulatory examination under real conditions: evidence gathering, supervisory interviews, and a prioritized remediation plan reviewed against actual examination expectations. Your team walks into the next BaFin review having already passed one.
The program is built for institutions that face BaFin supervision and want a defensible, documented compliance posture. Each module pairs live instruction with guided labs: teams draft risk strategy excerpts, design control matrices, monitor simulated limit dashboards, and assemble reporting packs that mirror what supervisors ask for. A final capstone runs a mock regulatory examination, so your people leave with a tested remediation plan, not just notes. Content adapts to your institution's size, risk profile, and existing policies, so every cohort practices the workflows it owns.

Connect MaRisk Governance, Risk Controls, and Supervisory Review Evidence
Our BaFin MaRisk training follows requirements from the policy inventory into risk strategy, controls, and reporting. Participants test a lending-process control matrix, investigate limit breaches, and assemble stress-test and findings materials. A mock examination brings the evidence together, emphasizing clear explanations of what works, what is missing, and who should address it.
- Step 01
Consult
We examine your institution’s risk and compliance responsibilities, identifying development needs in MaRisk navigation, governance documentation, lending controls, limit reporting, and examination responses.
- Step 02
Plan
We map requirements to policies before developing risk strategy, testing controls, handling breaches, and reviewing ICAAP and stress-testing evidence for the mock examination.
- Step 03
Align
We connect risk, finance, compliance, and audit perspectives, adjusting banking foundations and documentation exercises to the cohort’s roles and familiarity with MaRisk.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor sample policy inventories, lending controls, and limit dashboards to a representative institution, giving participants concrete records for evaluating design and operation.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants draft risk statements, walk through controls, record breach escalations, and defend stress-test summaries with feedback on evidence links and documentation gaps.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the examination response for traceable requirements, substantiated control findings, coherent escalation records, and remediation actions with owners, deadlines, and supporting evidence.
