Regulatory Consistency Assessment Programme (RCAP) - Handbook for jurisdictional assessments

The Handbook for jurisdictional assessments describes the methodology used by the Basel Committee to assess the completeness and consistency of domestic prudential regulations with the Basel framework. These assessments are conducted as part of the Committee's Regulatory Consistency Assessment Programme (RCAP). The Handbook is designed to be a flexible compendium, with its guidance and principles being revised or elaborated further as the RCAP evolves.

This revised version of the Handbook includes specific guidance for the assessments of the Basel III revisions to risk weighted assets and the leverage ratio framework.
