Description
My client is an Investment Bank based in the City looking for a Business Analyst to work on a Regulatory Requirement Project
The bank requires an enthusiastic, motivated individual to join a department as a Business Analyst on the Finance - Recovery and Resolution Planning project - Living Wills.
Finance - Recovery and Resolution Planning project :
In response to various financial crises over the last 3 years, global regulators have requested the requirement for financial institutions to maintain Recovery and Resolution plans designed to :
A) maintain public confidence in the banking system
B) protect national financial stability;
C) protect depositors.
Financial institutions currently cater for a variety of stressed market scenarios within their pre-existing risk management frameworks,
However these are not considered sufficient to achieve all the objectives above, especially the need to avoid contagion to the financial systems by enabling rapid and orderly resolution over a short period of time.
