About the Workshop

A hands-on four-day separately book-able workshop in understanding and optimising the functions of back office management & control to focus on business performance.

The drivers for change in back-office operations have emerged through the developments in technology, the need for cost reduction, international compliance standards & control and competition.  With rapid advancement in technology, there has been a convergence between domestic and international markets, leading to intensified competition. This is very evident from the fact that many are moving towards universal straight through processing (STP).

In domestic business, clearing and settlement service providers face pressures to improve services and avoid duplication. In order to gain competitive advantage, cost reduction has become vital to organisations. Banks are currently in the process of consolidating their back-office operations to reap synergies and cut costs. While, others prefer to outsource their back office operations to low cost centres it does not come not without the pitfalls.

This training program takes a holistic approach and explores various strategies that can be adopted to reduce their operations’ costs and to maximise profit within recognised compliance standards and controls. This unique four day program explores the numerous facets of Back office management & control. The  first two days will look into back office operational structures & risks which will aid you in creating a complete systermatic control and management process suitable for all environments and create a pre-emptive control strategy to reduce risks, costs and errors. The latter half of this program will focus exclusively on operational risk and operational management procedures from the perspective of managing the treasury, ALM and trading function. This training will provide you with strategic information that is capable to shift away from the traditional way of managing your back office.
