Autres infos
This course is intended for those who seek a better understanding how banks actually work financially.
The course consists of 3 blocks, with individual and group work in between. There will be points to be earned for classroom interventions and a written multiple choice exam in January.
The first and second block consist of an introduction to a simplified set of financials for a generic bank in a simplified spreadsheet model of which a template, minus the formulae, is provided to students. The model consists of the balance, off-balance items, the P&L, calculation of Risk Weighted Assets, interest margins for each loan category above the swap rate, interest rate hedging the balance sheet, calculating credit provisions, etc.. and, finally, a set of 20% ratios to judge a bank. Students will have access to a slide deck on the subject of approx. 120 pages
After block 2, students are individually required to complete the spreadsheet template with all the formulas. Note that all formulas are simple: this course is not intended to make spreadsheet rocket scientists of you, but to make you understand the links between various parts of the financials. So a basic knowledge of Excel should be sufficient.
Once all individual models have been uploaded, the class is divided in groups, each of which receive the data of a hypothetical specific bank, to be fed into the template with the formulas. Each group will need to upload its model before block 3, so other groups can have access to the results of other banks.
Groups will need to divided tasks to prepare Block 3, a Annual General Meeting of the shareholders, where the management of each group will present its bank to the class and, in the class, another group will act as shareholders and ask difficult questions.
