A joint initiative by the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland (CIOBS) and the ICMA Centre at Henley Business School, this intensive three-day residential Performance through Professionalism workshop is designed for directors (executive and non-executive) and other senior executives to develop and demonstrate an in-depth, professional understanding of the industry's new landscape.

A joint initiative by the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland (CIOBS) and the ICMA Centre at Henley Business School, this intensive three-day residential Performance through Professionalism workshop is designed for directors (executive and non-executive) and other senior executives to develop and demonstrate an in-depth, professional understanding of the industry's new landscape.

The programme is based on a solid foundation of professional and technical expertise and can be tailored for the in-house needs of each senior team. A custom-designed programme might include the use of the bank's own annual report and accounts, other internal documents and case studies. The workshops will be closely relevant to the live contemporary challenges faced by each team of participants.

The programme will ensure that executives:

  • demonstrate an in-depth understanding of risk management and have a good working knowledge of the new regulatory frameworks;
  • develop their ability to understand and challenge the viability of high leverage business models, wholesale market funding and securitisation programmes.

Workshops are usually held at Henley Business School's Greenlands campus next to the Thames, but other venues can be agreed. For the best learning environment 10-16 participants are recommended. Pricing depends on location, content, numbers and programme length.

Peer to Peer (P2P) Lending – ‘Bank on Dave’ and many others

4 March 2013
If you live in the UK, you may have seen the Channel 4 television programme on 28th February this year (2013) entitled ‘Bank on Dave’. Burnley Savings and Loans to give it its other name, is a company (not a bank) which offers 5% ‘deposit’ rates to lenders and offers loans to those who cannot obtain funding from the high street banks. So how does Dave do this when the high street banks offer no interest at all or perhaps only ½ or 1%? In fact ‘Dave’ is one of a new breed of ‘brokers’ who simply introduce lenders and borrowers to each other. The key difference from banks is that banks have a balance sheet with a depositor contract on one side and a separate contract with its borrowers on the other whereas a peer to peer company has no such contracts and indeed is not even involved at all in borrowing or lending! This is because in P2P, lending contracts are directly between borrower and lenders and the P2P company does not take ‘deposits’ on to its own balance sheet or keep the loans its customers make on its balance sheet.
