The Twin Peaks Of Uk Banking Reform

Posted on by

Hector Sants, Chief Executive of the UK banking regulator the Financial Services Authority (FSA), has announced what he describes as a ‘Twin Peaks’ approach to the future of banking regulation in the UK. Speaking at a briefing to the British Bankers’ Association in London on February 6th, he gave an update on the progress of reform in the British financial supervision system.

Don’t get too excited. Mr. Sants didn’t have much to say on the subject of David Lynch’s cult TV drama of the 1980s. There was no mention of Agent Cooper, Diane, the Log Lady, Laura Palmer or even about a damn fine cup of coffee and a slice of cherry pie. It was all about the restructuring of bank regulation in the UK and the replacement of the FSA by two new regulatory bodies: hence “Twin Peaks”.

As the British Government set out in its White Paper of June 2011, by early 2013: “the FSA will be abolished, and replaced by two new organisations called the Financial Conduct Authority, or FCA, and the Prudential Regulation Authority, or PRA, a subsidiary of the Bank of England”.

Posted on by

Investment banking is the most financially lucrative position for any university graduate. There are many people vying for the few openings each year in this industry. Graduates who are able to land one of the prime positions have mastered their investment banking interview. Successful candidates are the ones who prepare for their interview and anticipate the questions they might be asked and how to best answer them.

Questions that you will be asked will be either fit questions or technical questions. Technical questions are either right or wrong just like two plus two will always equal four. Investment banking companies ask technical questions to see how well you know the formulas and whether or not you are paying attention in class.

The fit questions are what separates the potential hires form those that are rejected. Companies ask fit questions to make sure you will be a good addition to their company. Fit questions are sometimes referred to as “the airport test.” This tells whether or not an investment banker would feel comfortable spending several hours in the departure lounge of an airport with you.
