Bank Failures: Applying Lessons Learned & Early Warning Signals

Time: 14-15 October 2009
Venue: London, United kingdom

A two-day masterclass for experienced analysts offering an insight into the causes and early warning signals of credit deterioration and failure in financial institutions. The workshop contains both local and international cases of distress in banks, broker dealers and finance companies to identify common themes and financial, non-financial and market indicators of deterioration. This workshop can be combined with the one-day Early Warning Signals in Insurance Companies.

The aim is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to proactively:

• Understand the causes and symptoms of both systemic and individual bank failure in the current crisis
• Anticipate and quantify the vulnerability of institutions to liquidity and refinancing risk
• Stress test solvency for write downs from credit, trading, investment and derivative positions
• Differentiate qualitative, quantitative and market indicators of credit deterioration
• Identify the likely triggers or events which would change the credit standing of a company in the future
