Keith Checkley awarded for contributions to financial services sector

Keith was presented with the award at the Institute’s 39th annual awards ceremony at Melia Resort, Cable Beach in September this year. The ceremony celebrates those who have completed programmes and on special occasions offers fellowship awards.

When Keith first visited 21 years ago, the institute was focused primarily on local certificate programmes relevant to Bahamas, with no executive level workshops, courses or seminars.

“I helped them with the concept of creating more senior level programmes,” Keith commented, “to build their confidence and ability in Nassau and, for those looking to go overseas, to provide the opportunity for international accreditation.”

The institute wanted accreditation linked up with Chartered Banker Institute and ICMA Centre partner Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI). Keith, with help from others such as Dean of Henley Business School John Board, helped to obtain approval to operate out of Nassau.

“They’ve seen a huge transformation, from a very local Bahamian context, well equipped for what they do in their jurisdiction, into an international one with accreditation from world renowned institutes. It has been a great experience working alongside the Bahamas Institute of Financial Services, and I am honoured to have received this award.”

Capitalism is high on the political agenda. Like coffee it seems to come in a bewildering number of varieties. Some politicians like it "responsible" others "moral" and still others "popular". While some argue that it is time for shareholders to wield real power, others feel that that certain shareholders, notably hedge funds should sit on their hands, at least if they have bought shares after a takeover has been announced. Out on the streets the tents of the "occupy" protectors may be under threat but many are sympathetic to the view that bankers and board members have been rewarded for taking too many risks with other people's money.
