Course Overview

Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over consolidated group reporting. Growth built on poorly controlled this strand of financial and banking practice reverses faster than it accumulated. The course covers this part of financial and banking practice at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. They leave able to brief senior management on consolidated group reporting in terms that support a decision. Plans for the wider financial and banking practice agenda often fail at the handover point between functions. Organisations that document this strand of financial and banking practice properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in consolidated group reporting rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the financial and banking practice capability are used deliberately. The final module sets out how progress on the wider financial and banking practice agenda will be evidenced six months later.
