Banks’ risk management capabilities are under the spotlight following the events of the past two years. The issue of liquidity used to sit firmly with the treasury department, but the advent of RTGS (real time gross settlement) has broadened its scope and the current scarcity and cost of liquidity means that this problem now affects the flows in ...

For most financial sector decision makers, the challenging market conditions of the past year or so - despite any recent positive portents that countries are exiting recession - have promoted a natural prudence or caution when it comes to initiating change or projects. It is tempting for them to delay an explicit project cost, or to introduce an a...

It’s clear that corporations expect more than ever before from their banking service providers. They are demanding the same level of insight for payments as they receive for other areas of their business, e.g. the tracking of products in the manufacturing cycle. At the moment, however, many payment systems are not dissimilar to a “black hole” - th...

I managed to catch some of the first day on Thursday of the "Pricing Model Validation: Mitigating Model Risk" conference. I thought it would be worthwhile going along since firstly the past 12-18 months have made model risk very topical both from the perspective of some of the failings in the use of certain complex derivative pricing mod...

You would have though that trade reporting would be a simple thing with the regulatory organisation specifying what they wanted reported, by what medium, by whom and when but this is all too simplistic for today's markets. A discussion with one of the UK's top firm's compliance officers this week opened my eyes to the sheer lunacy of regulatory re...

Two widely-accepted facts: valuation processes sit in the front office, reporting sits in the back. But what's in the middle? Often, it's been a chasm where the basic details on how/when/why an asset or portfolio was priced disappear, never to be found - a problem when the regulators knock on the door. Demand for independent price verification (IPV...

Cash management - think of the carrot, not the stick As the FSA’s deadlines for liquidity compliance draw closer, the topic is constantly in the press and is receiving plenty of lip service. The FSA estimated that the combined cost to the industry will be £150-200m, which will likely echo the Olympics 2012 budget and fall far short of the true c...
