This convenient workshop offers current insight on contingency funding plans, stress tests/cash flow analyses required by your Federal Regulators, funds management principles (which have seen renewed interest from both boards and regulators), finding “near-core” and “non-core” sources for your actual funding needs and CFP requirements. Designed for the community banker, this will be an in-depth look at the ALCO process.
