In order to prepare themselves for the practical part of the programme, participants receive a User Manual and an initial set of Financial Statements. The pre-reading documents are sent via to participants two weeks prior to the commencement of the training programme. At the start of the programme participants are divided into Management Teams. As in the real world, banks compete against one another. The teams have to price loans and deposits and make marketing and strategic decisions. Furthermore, they have to manage a portfolio of loans and securities, ensure that their bank meets the capital adequacy requirements and that it manages the ALM function effectively; all this whilst monitoring various risks in an environment characterised by volatile interest rates. Decisions are made on a quarterly basis taking into account press releases received from the Central Bank. At the end of each quarter participants receive feedback from the facilitator on their performance during the previous quarter. This process assists participants in seeing the cause and effect of their decisions on the performance of their bank.
