Basel Committee groups
The BCBS's permanent internal structure is made up of four groups: the Risks and Vulnerabilities Assessment Group, the Supervisory Cooperation Group, the Policy and Standards Group and the Basel Consultative Group. At present the BCBS has also established two task forces to work on priority projects: the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Risks and the Task Force on Evaluations. The groups and task forces are supported by a set of working groups with expertise in specific areas of policy and supervision.
The Risks and Vulnerabilities Assessment Group (RVG) leads the Committee's work on the monitoring and assessment of risks and vulnerabilities that could impact the resilience of the global banking system.

The Basel Consultative Group (BCG) provides a forum for deepening the Committee's engagement with supervisors around the world on banking supervisory issues. It facilitates broad supervisory dialogue with non-member countries on new Committee initiatives early in the process by gathering senior representatives from various countries, international institutions and regional groups of banking supervisors that are not members of the Committee.
