Course Overview

Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of money markets and foreign exchange. The audit trail behind foreign exchange matters as much as the decision itself. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the practice within financial and banking practice and the judgement to adapt it. Comparative studies of money markets and foreign exchange across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants apply this area of financial and banking practice to their own business line throughout, so the output is directly usable. Participants finish able to explain foreign exchange to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It suits anyone whose decisions touch money markets and foreign exchange, in large organisations and small ones alike. What blocks progress on foreign exchange is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this part of financial and banking practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
