Description
Licence to manage the Banking Book
Practice in Risk/ Earning Strategies and Compliance
Asset Liability Management (ALM) is much more than mere interest rate management; it comprises issues such as liquidity and credit spread management as well as equity management under the frameworks of Basel 2/3, ICAAP and IFRS.
Corporate governance implies that banks require verifiable knowledge of their asset liability management, the regulatory environment as well as risk policy and risk strategies of the bank. Otherwise, the board of management cannot delegate responsibilities within banking book management.
Practical implementation issues as well as meeting compliance rules for the Banking Book are the focus of this certification programme.
