Fundamentals of Fails Management Course

 Location: Available Globally

 Dates: Open date - Open date  Duration: -  Price: 550.00 GBP

This effective one day course highlights the cost of failed securities (equities and bonds) trades and analyses their causes.  Preventive measures are described and detailed. It is a very useful course for those with little or no experience or those requiring an overview.  

Failed Trade Settlement is very expensive in terms of Penalties, extra working time needed to resolve a situation and possible loss of reputation. It also erodes a good client relationship. It is not really surprising that clients give their highest ratings to some of the most expensive Custodians, Brokers and Banks. Cheap is often dear and dear is often cheap!  

Regulators are now also paying far more attention to Fails Management in assessing a company’s safety, security, and hence regulatory capital as required under Basle 2. Recent events have also made Regulators far tougher and less forgiving to subjects’ shortcomings and lapses.

Delegates

The course is suitable for:

  • existing staff who have limited exposure to failed trades and require a greater understanding of the relationship between their work and failed trades
  • team leaders and management, to increase their awareness of failed trades management 

Participants will be from Asset Managers, Banks, Brokers, Custodians, Fund Managers, Hedge Funds, Insurance and Life Assurance companies as well as Government Regulators. The course is applicable in any country active in the Securities business.

 

Participants need  to have at least 6 months work experience in or with  Back Office Operations or Custody areas (eg areas connecting to the Back Office or Operations) and to have both a basic Securities and Settlements knowledge or experience.
