What is the role of treasury management in the banking sector?
Note: (this thread only includes discussion on investment in T-Bills and other Long - term Fixed Income securities such as the Government Securities and other Bonds; additionally, the squaring of all book positions, in regard to Money Market and FX Asset class/es) & AL- Gap Mgmt
I have excluded investments in hybrids, convertibles, capital market products, share underwriting, and derivatives hedging /trading and the other complimentary Investment Banking Activities, which might also be included in the treasury job description at some retail banks
It varies from one banking business model to another, across jurisdictions.

No one size fits all rule applies in the case of treasury management at Retail Banks.
this thread does not provide oversight on treasury management practices undertaken at Insurance/ brokerage/ asset management or other forms of corporate treasuries that exist outside the financial sector.

Those models vary from one country to another.
The following can further elucidate the role of the Treasury Front & Back Office/s =>

1.Treasury primarily manages the overall Liquidity Levels at a bank.

a.Inter-market deals (placement of funds daily)

b.Inter-bank or branch banking deals (no profit is charged as such)
2.Pricing of Bank Loans aka Credits!

a.Yes, this is a basic treasury responsibility! Many confuse this with the CB / RB / SME Desk Responsibilities.
Branches offering both the Funded and the
Non -Funded Credit Facilities to customers, must seek guidance on pricing from the Treasury Department, at the bank, to analyze the opportunity cost of funds.
i.Note: Don't mix credit transfer pricing grid with the SOC - SCHEDULE OF CHARGES.
The Schedule of other charges added to the funded and non-funded credits in the form of underwriting fees, coupled with the( business banking and trade finance services charges deducted(in addition to credit approvals) are prepared jointly by the #CFO and the treasurer.
b.Fund transfer pricing policy is the responsibility of the Head of ALM / Treasury, by way of using the following modus operandi=>
i.Shadow factor prices are used to make comparisons
ii. Shadow factor balanced sheet is prepared.
iii.Opportunity costs of funds are analyzed.
iv.Computation of RAROC - (risk-adjusted return on capital)and RARORAC - (risk-adjusted return on risk-adjusted capital) is done using the shadow factor prices to meet risk budgeting requirements.
3.Providing Risk Management Desk Services to other arms of the bank

4.ALM - Asset Liability Management and integrating the strategy with Risk Management Policy / Strategy as per BRMC Guidelines =>

o It manages risks i.e. On Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet risks.
Treasury also manages the integrated AL Asset Liability Gaps
oIR / Repricing risk emanating from the overall gaps/ revaluation exposures.
oFX Risk on account of maturity and revaluation gaps.
oCredit risk on account of maturity gaps.
5. Economic Capital Management and compliance with the Basel Accords.
•This is done to keep the statutory requirements in check as issued by the BIS and endorsed by the CB in a jurisdiction.
@BIS_org Basel Assignments (market risk and other risks related to the Front Office)
oBasel III (Liquidity risk management thresholds and revised capital management standards).
oUpcoming #BASEL IV (FRTB).
oStress testing of exposures.
oCalculation of key #capital, profitability, balance sheet, portfolio, investment, and other key bank funds management analytics!

The failure of Risk Management is manifold.
Only a day earlier I was in conversation with a treasury market dealer, who runs a fixed income, bond derivatives and call /clean rates desk at a leading global bank.
I was surprised to note that he didn't factor risk into decisions!
Upon my inquiring, he told me that he made placements, without actually computing Risk Adj. Return for any of the fixed-rate drove asset classes or potential exposures.
His targeted profitability metric is the market yield aka IRR for bonds and bullet rates for MM Placements.
So, I insisted on asking further, as to what role was the risk department playing at the bank, and why nobody taught him how to compute and understand RAROC family?
Why treasury front office didn't comply with the risk budgets, etc?

Which is the best choice, to do an MSC in professional accountancy or an MBA after an ACCA completion?
Tough question.
If you can do your ACCA(plus your Oxford Brookes BSc Hons Accounting degree) and later clear the ICA UK (of Wales and England) Exams, nothing like it! later pass all the professional body requirements(CIPD) and turn into a full FCA Member?
Sign off accounts and financial statements as the CFO or get yourself the job of an Audit Head.

Which are some stylized failures of Risk Management?
It is the only subject when turned into a profession, which fails to deliver in SVA terms in most of the cases, as witnessed now outside the Insurance Sector
Insurance is a different game because the profession is led by well-trained quantitative professionals such as Actuaries
Why it has not worked well outside the Insurance Sector/s?
The multiple reasons for the failure of Risk Management and Auditing Departments at firms could be the following =>

What is the Gaussian copula and how to use it to derive the joint probability of the default of two assets?
This is an interesting question, but I would like to discuss its implications and how this kind of model added fuel to the global financial crisis fire back in 2007.
Risk Management is like a Greek Tragedy, where actors laugh to express their sorrow. Hence, here what mimics laughter is the Normal (Gaussian) PDF and its assumptions.

According to Hendry and Richard (1982), a final acceptable model should
satisfy several criteria (adapted slightly here). The model should:
● be logically plausible
● be consistent with underlying financial theory, including satisfying any
relevant parameter restrictions
●have regressors that are uncorrelated with the error term
● have parameter estimates that are stable over the entire sample
have residuals that are white noise (i.e. completely random and exhibiting no patterns)
● be capable of explaining the results of all competing models and more.

When we talk of IR #Interest #Rate #Risks we must understand the markets in which this product operates, and the fundamental pricing, trading, and hedging dynamics of this financial #derivative asset class.
Banks normally use IR Derivatives and Structured Products for on and/or off-balance-sheet ALM Asset Liability Management and Immunization, Bond Risk Hedging, NII Risk Hedging, Arbitrage Opportunity Exploration using the treasury based fixed income desks, Rate Speculation, etc.
Of course, we have other financial market participants such as Pension Funds, Hedge Funds, Insurance Companies, and several other specialized asset management firms, that have strategies and asset allocation models, which use IR derivative for both Macro and Micro-hedging.
