25409 Managing Financial Institutions

This subject teaches the fundamentals of managing a financial institution. The principles are applied in the context of banks, but have a wider relevance to the management of non-bank financial institutions. The structure of the financial system and problems posed by managing financial institutions in today's environment are given real-time practical applications in case studies which assess the performance of financial institutions from a creditor's, investor's and regulator's viewpoint. Case studies of bank failure and success are interposed among principles of asset liability management, strategic planning and responses to a changing environment in prudential supervision, e-commerce and new taxation treaties.
