ALMA Annual Conference 2022

We are delighted to launch ALMA’s 29th Annual Conference which will take place at the Runnymede-on-Thames Hotel, Egham on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th January 2022.

We are extremely excited to be welcoming our Members back to a face-to-face conference and are currently in the process of finalising a packed agenda with a wide range of speakers and panel discussions.  The conference will follow a similar pattern to previous years with a networking event and dinner on Thursday (with keynote speaker Tim Willasey Wilsey, Visiting Professor, King’s College London) and the full conference on Friday.

At our Treasurers Networking Event & The Future of Treasury on Thursday afternoon,  our CertBALM®ers will be presenting to senior Treasurers their ideas on all aspects of the future of Treasury.  In addition, this provides an opportunity for conference delegates to network.  This is a free event for any delegate attending the full conference.

The full draft agenda can be found below but confirmed topics include:
Economic Overview
Central Bank Digital Currencies
IRRBB Disclosures
UK Infrastructure Bank
Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) Renewal
Making Sense of the Post Pandemic Workplace

Now online, this course will be offered as three consecutive online half day sessions on February 22nd, 23rd and 24th.  The first two sessions on February 22nd and 23rd will, together, provide an overview of the basics of liquidity and funding.  They will explain how these areas are typically managed and controlled covering both internal and regulatory liquidity and funding ratios.  Current industry practitioners provide examples and lead discussions to bring key topics to life and explain current areas of industry focus.

Session 3 on February 24th, which can also be booked as a stand-alone session, will focus on the Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP).  As well as providing a useful outline of the ILAAP, examples of topics covered in more detail are liquidity stress testing and how to manage the ILAAP process.  Industry practitioners provide case study examples and lead discussions to illustrate some areas of current best practice.

This course continues to be aimed at those relatively new to these topics and is of potential interest to those working in Treasury, ALM, Risk and Audit functions as well as those in other areas interested in increasing their understanding of these key topics.  This course introduces a range of key concepts and practices that can then be further developed by studying the Certificate in Bank ALM(CertBALM®) qualification.

A new ALMA course and an opportunity to hear from practitioners about managing the opportunities and financial risks arising from climate change.

Central banks and regulators are becoming increasingly focused on “greening” their own market operations as well as assessing firms’ management of climate risks. At the same time investors are focussing more on firms’ ESG credentials, with one prominent investor suggesting that ESG ratings will soon be as important as a firms’ credit ratings.
On this half-day course you will cover climate risk for banks & building societies, “green” financial markets and the regulatory landscape. We will then hear from practitioners on the latest challenges and opportunities in capital, funding and HQLA management, as well as residential property risks and green issuance.
