Audit of Asset / Liability Management (ALM) This one-day course is for personnel in auditing, controllers and treasury positions. It is particularly useful for those who must provide audit coverage of the interest rate risk activities of the Asset/Liability Management function (ALM, ALCO etc.).

It focuses on how the depository institution can lose money simply by being "on the wrong side" of changes in the direction of interest rates. It provides an overview of "position management" and how it is handled. It explores ALM techniques including the use of derivatives such as caps, floors, collars, swaps, swaptions, futures, forward placement contracts etc. It also analyzes the typical ALM techniques of Net Gap Analysis, Static Gap Analysis, Earnings Simulation, and Duration Modeling. It discusses the ALM committee composition and its duties. It provides a step-by-step approach for auditing the ALM activities. It also shows what could go wrong with the ALM process.
