Course Overview
The audit trail behind foreign exchange trading portfolios matters as much as the decision itself. Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over trading portfolios. A common pattern is strong design of the financial and banking practice capability paired with weak follow-through. The programme converts foreign exchange trading portfolios from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Organisations that document the wider financial and banking practice agenda properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on trading portfolios are used deliberately. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of foreign exchange trading portfolios to standardise and which to leave flexible. Participants apply trading portfolios to their own business line throughout, so the output is directly usable. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this area of financial and banking practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
