2nd SEACEN Course on Bank Examiner Foundational Skills Development

Venue :Malaysia
Host Name :The SEACEN Centre
Date From :01 Mar 2015
Date To :13 Mar 2015

Descriptions

Effective bank supervision is an important part of central bank efforts to maintain financial stability. A sound and stable banking system is critical to meeting economies’ credit needs and facilitating commerce in order to achieve longer-term growth and development. This Course provides foundational skills for bank examiners in emerging markets, which would enable them to accurately assess a bank’s overall financial condition, the quality of its risk management systems and governance structures, and its future prospects. They would also be able to identify potentially unsafe or unsound practices or conditions. It encompasses both technical and behavioral skills.

 
Target Group: The Course is designed for entry to mid-level bank supervisors in emerging markets. Course participants should have at least six months’ field bank examination experience. This would allow for some practical understanding and familiarity with on-site examination processes.

Objective

Using case studies and examples, participants will be able to apply examination management and principles effectively, benchmarked to international standards and recognized sound practices:

  • (i) assess a bank’s “risk appetite” and strategies to judge whether they are reasonable in relation to its financial strength and its risk management capabilities;
  • (ii) analyze basic bank operations and related risk factors;
  • (iii) analyze basic bank accounting systems and procedures and key issues that may arise;
  • (iv) assess the performance of bank directors and executive management in performing their duties and responsibilities;
  • (v) assess bank governance arrangements to ensure that they embody appropriate and effective “checks and balances”
  • (vi) assess the adequacy of bank policies and operating procedures covering various risk areas; and,
  • (vii) make appropriate recommendations for remedial action when there are weaknesses or unsound practices or conditions in evidence.
