Managing A Bank

An effective system for bank management requires a clear definition in terms of defined policies and procedures for executive management. Those policies and procedures that are approved by a bank's Board of Directors must demonstrate clear accountability and responsibility objectives, which would be clearly communicated to all levels of management in a bank. The key management officials are judged accordingly to their achievement of the objectives, which have been defined, in a bank's strategic plan. The performance of a bank's managers is determined by their ability to achieve the objectives that are set out in the strategic plan.

Accurate information from line management on past due loans, bad debts and specific provisions for bad debts is essential to executive management in achieving the bank's overall strategic plan, monitoring the performance of the bank and maximising the bank's profitability. Those areas of strategic planning and risks management in all areas of a bank will form part of this training guide.
