What You Will Master
Five Core Capabilities
Design
the rules - craft proportionate, evidence-based regulation using impact assessment.
Enforce
with fairness - build risk-based compliance, supervision and enforcement strategies.
Govern
the regulator - secure independence, accountability and sound institutional governance.
Safeguard
integrity - embed transparency, anti-corruption and ethics across the institution.
Reform
with purpose - produce an applied regulatory-reform brief for a live national priority.
Curriculum
Programme Sessions
Four four-hour sessions across two weekends - each closing in a regulatory clinic toward a decision-ready reform brief.
01
4 hrs
Regulatory Design & Better Regulation
Why and when to regulate; the better-regulation agenda; regulatory-impact assessment; instrument choice from command-and-control to incentives, disclosure and self-regulation; proportionality and unintended effects.
02
4 hrs
Compliance, Supervision & Enforcement
Risk-based and responsive regulation; the compliance pyramid; supervision, inspection and monitoring; sanctions, deterrence and behavioural approaches; regulating fairly and consistently.
03
4 hrs
Regulatory Governance, Independence & Accountability
Governing the regulator; independence, mandate and funding; boards, decision-making and due process; accountability to government, parliament and the public; managing capture and conflicts.
04
4 hrs
Institutional Integrity, Innovation & Reform
Transparency, anti-corruption and ethics; regulatory sandboxes and adaptive regulation; digital and data-driven supervision (RegTech / SupTech); leading regulatory reform - and finalising your reform brief.
Distinctive to RSBT
This is not a law lecture. Across four sessions you produce a decision-ready regulatory-reform brief on a real national priority - an impact-assessed design, a risk-based compliance model, a governance review and an integrity-and-reform roadmap you can take straight into your institution.
