Description

The Understanding Bank Performance program is a comprehensive training program designed to help bankers like you better understand financial performance analysis. Over the course of this program, participants will learn how to analyze their bank's financial statements, understand the key drivers of performance, and make informed decisions that will drive growth and profitability. Using financial statements from one sample financial institution along with statements from their own banks, participants will become familiar with the ins and outs of balance sheets and income statements and learn how to apply key performance metrics to the data presented in these documents. Having learned how to interpret and analyze a bank’s financial statements, participants will gain deeper insight into the factors affecting bank performance. Later sessions in this course will address ways in which performance may be hindered or improved by funding strategies and risk management. Ultimately, participants will be able to review a bank’s financial statements to identify strengths and weaknesses and be able to recommend changes that will lead to improved performance. In the final session of this course, participants will put what they have learned into practice. Participants will analyze a new data set, rate the bank’s performance and suggest strategic adjustments that might benefit the bank.  CLICK HERE to read the program brochure for further details.
