S/F/86. The management of risk by senior managers in financial institutions and the Collapse of Barings

WORDS:

1900

DATE:

2006

PRICE:

19.99 GBP

The main objective of a bank, in order to be profitable is to manage risk effectively. The importance of management is to control and monitor the risks associated with the business. Banks have a responsibility to protect shareholder funds and those of their depositors. Recent losses and bank failures demonstrate that greater transparency is required over their risk profile. The lack of understanding of risk from management and poor analytical methods for risk, results in losses, like the Barings fiasco. It is important that procedures are in place for identifying, measuring and managing those risks. Barings bank failure is a prime example of the resultant effects of managers failing to monitor and organise trading activities. A fundamental principle in the banking industry is that one individual cannot have control of the front and back office. In 1992 Leeson became responsible for the back office and also to take client orders in Baring Futures Singapore (BFS)

C/F/42. Dissertation. Russia's Accession to the WTO and Likely Effects on the Russian Banking Sector

PRICE:

The accession process of Russia to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) leads to different issues in almost all area of Russian economic, political and business life. The participants of the Russian financial sector, particularly of the banking sector probably are concerned the most. The following study attempts to identify the main effects on the Russian Banking Sector that can be caused by the Russia's accession to the WTO. The experiences of other countries that have already joined the WTO show that there are different positive and negative effects on banking sector. The current research was based on the exploratory study research strategy using the telephone interviews with experts and specialist in Russian Banking Industry. The study based both on the literature review and interviews has revealed that indeed there will be some positive and negative effects, although in their majority the bankers see more negative effects on of which is high competition with foreign banks, which will be impossible for Russian banks to surpass. It is not a secret that the national sector of financial services (especially bank) in the development lags even more behind the foreign financial institutions than real sector of the Russian economy. Foreign banks' capabilities are much bigger than Russian banks have, so it is impossible to recognise such competition as a fair one. At the same time, such high competition can cause positive impacts on Russian banks, because of the foreign organisations introduce not only new technologies but also provide motivating influence on the Russian banks. Such positive effects can be benefited only if the accession strategy provides a combination of protection of interests of the Russian economic participants with a goal of their development under influence of economic and the international competition.
