The asset-liability committee (ALCO) is the primary balance sheet risk forum in a bank, and its importance was recognised by the Regulatory Authorities in an FSA “Dear CEO” letter issued in January 2011 and by the PRA in LSS1/13 published in 2013.
An efficient ALCO process enables a bank to manage risk effectively and optimise its balance sheet, with a positive impact on balance sheet resilience and Return on Capital.
The failure of Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank in 2023, which was due to poor asset-liability management (ALM) discipline, has reaffirmed the importance of the ALCO and why its governance framework must always be best-in-class.
This one-day interactive workshop will raise awareness and understanding of recommended good-practice principles for bank ALCO governance and procedure. Aimed at ALCO members, non-executive directors, and senior managers in any banking institution, as well as all staff involved in the ALCO process, the course presents essential tools required to introduce the right governance culture in a bank. This includes a range of policy templates that can be applied in any bank, together with real-world examples and case studies to demonstrate techniques.
Delegates will gain a clearer understanding of how to formulate and drive the ALCO governance process most effectively, and what makes an effective ALCO MI pack, plus a toolkit of best practice ALCO templates.
