Objectives A theoretical framework of the financial firm and industry is developed which students are able to apply to measure and assess financial institution performance. In this regard an important challenge is the investigation, using empirical data, of the impact of regulatory and other change within the framework of the model. The model is then extended to encompass various types of risk management, in particular market risk, where students develop a sound knowledge and awareness of the conceptual, analytical and decision making tools used in policy formulation and implementation.
Synopsis The subject covers prudential supervision, capital adequacy and moral hazard, measuring returns and risks in banking, credit, interest rate and liquidity risk management and banking ethics and code of practice.
