Course Overview

In finance the difference between a healthy position on family wealth succession and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over the financial and banking practice discipline. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this area of financial and banking practice and supervised application. The difficulty is not agreeing that family wealth succession matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The course sets out a working method for the financial and banking practice capability that participants can apply the week they return. Participants finish able to explain the practice within financial and banking practice to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Where family wealth succession is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the financial and banking practice discipline. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the financial and banking practice capability that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
