Globally interconnected and highly competitive financial markets, rapid development of technology, competition from new players, introduction of differentiated banking and other sophisticated demands of the market have significantly changed the banking landscape. Banks are now exposed to all types of risks emanating from the types of businesses they conduct. Issues like asset quality deterioration in recent times and increased capital needs on account of implementation of Basel III are posing significant challenges to the banks. Boards of banks are therefore required to focus on developing appropriate business strategies and risk management systems so as to provide effective oversight to steer their banks through the present challenging position. It is thus imperative that Non-Executive Directors on the boards of banks understand these issues and challenges properly so as to contribute effectively in all board deliberations..
The program is designed for Non-Executive Directors of commercial banks, preferably those who are newly inducted on the boards. The objective of the program is to bring about an awareness and understanding about various regulatory, supervisory and governance issues relating to banks. The program will cover various issues like Corporate Governance, Prudential Norms, Asset Quality Management, Capital and Risk Management.
The conference will deal with the following topics:
Preferably newly inducted Non-Executive Directors on the Boards of Commercial Banks i.e. those who have normally not spent more than two years on the boards of banks.
