Course Overview
Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over international bank guarantees. Models supporting this aspect of financial and banking practice fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the practice within financial and banking practice, in large organisations and small ones alike. The course gives participants a defensible structure for international bank guarantees and the judgement to adapt it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this part of financial and banking practice is working and when it is only appearing to. The difficulty is not agreeing that the wider financial and banking practice agenda matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of international bank guarantees is examined, not just described. The most reliable predictor of sound this strand of financial and banking practice is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Participants leave with a plan for the wider financial and banking practice agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
