Banking Back Office Management

Banking Back Office Management

The role of a settlements/operations department is to efficiently settle all trades initiated by the front office departments. An efficient operations department can save an institution that it serves a lot of time and money by recognising other incidents or indications that may lead to one of these more costly events. Dealers, once they have completed a trade, have little (if any) interest or knowledge of what happens next. In the past, cocky traders would complain that they made all the money, and then back office lost it. This has now changed radically. The likelihood of back office personnel now being primarily responsible for major errors is small; however, failures at the human level in recognising fairly obvious “suspicious” circumstances surrounding a trade continue to be numerous.

Course Objectives

At the end of the course delegates will understand:

  • A complete Systematic Control and Management Program suitable for all environments
  • Build the correct structure for effective Front, Middle and Back Office Operations optimizing the use of STP and achieving settlement efficiency
