Book Synopsis

The Bank Director's Handbook is a comprehensive guide that enables directors - and bankers - to meet the challenges of the financial services industry and to fulfill the legal and regulatory requirements facing them. In-depth technical knowledge of the markets, the industry, and the myriad regulations that surround them is more important than ever before. The Bank Director's Handbook provides bank directors and bank management with the tools they need to fulfill their duties. The Bank Director's Handbook includes coverage of profitability and performance issues; a director's view of internal controls; development of bank marketing strategy; asset/liability management and the effects of interest rate risk; a comprehensive review of portfolio instruments, including derivatives; lending issues; legal risks and obligations; and working within the new regulatory framework. The Bank Director's Handbook enables bank management and directors to master the challenge of a safe, sound and profitable institution, while dealing with the requirements and obligations that are unique to the board.
