Post the global financial crisis, the role of the Treasury within a bank is more challenging than ever. The regulation that followed the crisis, in particular Basel III, has meant that optimizing assets and liabilities is vital in mitigating the ‘hit’ on Return on Equity that the regulation represents.
This workshop looks to explain the fundamental role of the ALM function and, via real-life case studies and excel based simulations, explain how the function looks to optimize balance sheet performance via the more selective deployment of balance sheet resources. In addition, it will explore the fluid regulatory landscape in which ALM is functioning and outline what the industry considers as best practice in terms of dealing with the challenges that the landscape presents.
Hence by attending the day workshop, delegates will be better equipped to work in or with the ALM function and support the optimization of the balance sheet they are tasked to achieve.
At the end of this course the participants will be able to:
This 5-day training course on Study Design and Research Methods aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of designing and conducting research studies. The course will cover topics such as research design, sampling techniques, data collection and analysis, and ethical considerations in research.
Information technology strategies are critical to business as they can deliver not only effective business operations but also competitively differentiated products and services for firms. Yet many business and government enterprises have found their IT organizations to be misaligned with business strategies, or even worse, so dysfunctional that business values are actually destroyed instead of added.

Modern fluid flow control techniques in fluid systems that are encountered in the process and chemical industry, involve the control of flow rate; measurements of pressure and temperature; and, other quantities at upstream and downstream locations. They also involve a means for enabling the passing of maximum flow rate in case of emergencies. Fluid movers such as pumps and compressors of various designs have their own flow control devices for regulating flow rates, pressures, and in some cases, motor loads (variable speed motors or variable speed couplings). Control valves play a major role in fluid flow control. They are used for pressure reduction, control of delivery flow rates, back pressure control, pressure relief, etc.
