Programme Outline

The Programme in Outline

There is a core curriculum within which there are some elective options on two of the days. This allows participants from countries that have financial centres to focus on topics that have specific relevance to those areas, whilst others can to choose topics that are also relevant to their needs.

All of the topics covered will take account of possible impacts from the financial crisis and include:


  • New approaches to Risk Management
  • New perspectives and insights into Regulatory Practices
  • Tax Policy and the post G20 perspectives on transparency
  • Anti-money laundering/ countering the financing of terrorism and the STAR (Stolen Assets Recovery) Initiative, of the World Bank/UNODC.
  • Understanding and preventing criminal activity in the financial sector
  • The scope for regulatory collaboration among small countries
  • Debt Management
  • Cash Management and alternative investment strategies
  • Medium Term Expenditure Frameworks
  • Budgeting
  • The challenges involved in implementing change in government
  • Building proactive and effective partnerships with international bodies
  • Negotiation skills

Equally important will be the connecting of these topics to the personal challenges on which each of the participants will be working, culminating in three days of developing negotiation skills aimed at improving the effectiveness of any solutions developed during the two weeks, again, linked to delivering any outputs from the programme. The primary challenge for the programme is that any outputs should be 'operationally' useful.
