Course Overview

Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over complex transaction structuring. The audit trail behind this strand of financial and banking practice matters as much as the decision itself. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this aspect of financial and banking practice are used deliberately. The programme converts complex transaction structuring from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Most organisations already have a policy on the financial and banking practice discipline; far fewer can show it working. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the practice within financial and banking practice in an order their organisation can absorb. Comparative studies of complex transaction structuring across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants apply this aspect of financial and banking practice to their own business line throughout, so the output is directly usable. The final module sets out how progress on this area of financial and banking practice will be evidenced six months later.
