CENTRE FOR BANKING STUDIES (CBS)
T
he Centre for Banking Studies (CBS) marked the Thirty five (35) anniversary of her progress in
2016. The CBS started her mission of empowering the nation with knowledge and skills required
for the development of the financial sector, particularly the banking sector, on 15 September 1981
as the Rural Banking and Staff Training College (RB&STC). The need of the day at that time was to
provide knowledge and training to promote financial services in the rural sector. Therefore, the focus
of the training courses was concentrated on rural banking.
Over many decades, Sri Lanka has been experiencing a progressive expansion in the economy,
albeit with some setbacks. The financial sector too expanded with growing sophistication in terms
of its integration with global financial systems, and the nature of services offered. The RB&STC, being
in the forefront of promoting knowledge and training, particularly for the financial sector progress,
diversified its programmes to suit the changing environment. Recognising these developments, the
Monetary Board of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka renamed RB&STC as the Centre for Banking Studies
(CBS) in 1998.
Today, the CBS as a matured training institute offers a wide range of training programmes, seminars,
and workshops to the professionals from the central banks, and banking and financial institutions in
the region covering all areas of the economy and the financial sector. The CBS also conducts special
programmes to meet the emerging needs of public and private sector institutions on demand.
Programmes are conducted by both local and international professionals with expertise knowledge
and experience. Continuous demand for the CBS programmes witnesses our success in meeting the
expectations of the aspirants.
Appreciating the importance of social responsibility of promoting public awareness and economic &
financial literacy, the CBS also hosts public lectures on contemporary issues related to the economy
and the financial sector. School children, university students and academia are regular visitors of
the CBS to attend sessions designed to enhance their knowledge and skills. Special programmes to
enhance economic & financial literacy of future generations are also planned for 2015 and beyond.
While striving to expand the coverage of the programmes with continuous improvements in quality
to promote knowledge and human capital in the domestic economy and the regions, the CBS has
improved her training facilities of high standards including residential facilities to make participants’
stay a comfortable one. The CBS team is always committed to continue with its mission of taking the
nation forward to reap the benefits of emerging opportunities.

PROGRAMME CALENDAR
DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
I
t is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I
am presenting the Programme Calendar 2016
of the Centre for Banking Studies (CBS), which
has been designed to enhance knowledge
and skills required to manage financial sector
operations with an understanding of the overall
macroeconomic management, in a dynamic and
challenging environment.
Global financial system has been experiencing
unprecedented changes in the recent past in
the aftermath of global financial and economic
crisis. Financial systems of Asian nations
including Sri Lanka have not escaped from the
negative effects of this recent crisis; they have
experienced it at different degrees. Further,
the crisis has forced financial institutions,
policy makers and regulators to explore new
approaches to manage their respective areas of
operations, as the traditional methods and tools
have limitations in achieving expected results in
the new environment after the crisis.
Promoting human capital through training
to manage financial affairs effectively under
the new business environment has become a
challenging task. As in the past, the Centre for
Banking Studies (CBS), the leading training
institute in the financial sector in Sri Lanka, is
poised to take that challenge.
We have designed our training programmes,
seminars, and workshops to empower
professionals in the financial sector in the
country as well as the region with required
knowledge, skills and exposure to handle their
duties effectively.
Programmes cover all areas of financial
sector operations including international
financial operations, investment and treasury
management, risk management, legal and
regulatory aspects of financial management,
technical and analytical skills, and human
resource management to address issues related
to both local and regional environment. Courses
are designed and updated by a panel of experts
with academic and professional qualifications
blended with experience.
The CBS has a wealthy pool of local and foreign
experts with academic and professional
qualifications
along
with
international
exposure and specialized experience in all
areas of financial sector operations. Located
in a green environment with the state-of-theart classrooms, lecture halls and an auditorium
along with a library equipped with all facilities,
the CBS offers a tranquil learning environment.
10
PROGRAMME CALENDAR
As usual, the CBS has planned to conduct
public lectures on contemporary issues with
reputed local and foreign experts, awareness
programmes to enhance financial literacy
among school teachers, school children and the
general public as a social responsibility.
The year 2015 was a very exciting year for the
CBS as we were able to conduct 123 training
programmes, 6 public seminars and 17
programmes for school and university students.
There were more than 7000 participants from
all over the island and countries in the region.
Our team expects to enhance the quality of our
services in all areas in 2016.
If it is not with the blessings and guidance of
the senior management of the CBSL, we could
not have enjoyed the impressive progress
made so far. Hence, I take this opportunity to
express our gratitude and appreciation of the
support and guidance the CBS team received
from the Governor, Deputy Governors, Assistant
Governors, and the Heads of Departments to
make our past a success story. We are confident
that the CBS will continue to receive that
support and guidance with the same spirit of
2016
the past. Resource Persons from the CBSL and
the industry has been the strength for us to
conduct programmes of international standards
to meet the expectations of our clients. They
deserve special appreciation for their invaluable
contribution rendered with great sense of
commitment.
We cannot forget both local and foreign
institutions including central banks, banks and
financial institutions, government and private
sector institutions who counted on the CBS to
meet the training needs of their officers. We will
endeavor to serve them with enhanced quality
and vigor in all areas of our services.
Our team at the CBS wishes to express our
gratitude to all our stakeholders and our
commitment to elevate the services and
glamour of our great institution to serve the
nation and our regional friends to enhance
their human capital to build a better future
by facing challenges in a fast changing global
environment.
We look forward to welcoming you in the
coming year, 2016.

Security Features of Currency Notes and Identification of Forged Notes
“According to the Monetary Law Act, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka is the sole authority of issuing
currency notes and coins. The presence of counterfeit currency is a threat to this authority and to
the effective functioning of the monetary system. Any type of involvement to produce and distribute
counterfeit currency is an offense, under criminal law.
Presence of counterfeit currency exposes those who handle currency to higher level of risk. Therefore,
it is imperative that all officers who handle currency notes in banks and other financial institutions be
knowledgeable on the security features of currency notes that enable them to identify counterfeits.”

Emerging Trends in Electronic Fund Transfers (EFT)
Fraud Mitigation
“In an ever-emerging electronic age, more businesses are integrating the use of technology into their cash
disbursement process through means of EFT transactions – these include wire transfers and automated
clearing house transactions – leaving them susceptible to cyber theft. Over the past year, there has been
an increase in the reported EFT fraud against small to medium-size businesses. Cybercriminals gain remote
control over computer system, enabling them to withdraw funds which appears to the bank’s security system
as legitimate transactions. In most cases of EFT fraud, the victims have not been able to recover their funds.
In addition to the security measures introduced by financial institutions, there are preventative and detective
procedures businesses can implement on their own. This one day programme provides a good understanding on
identification and mitigation methods of EFT fraud.”

Stress Testing Techniques for Risk Management
“Financial institutions are prone to various types of risks, such as credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk
associated with their operations. Despite the fact that they are subject to both internal and external audit
and supervision there could be internal developments in disguise that could threaten their financial viability.
These developments could brew and threaten the system stability unless diagnosed and addressed at the
early stages of their development.
Stress testing helps to assess whether a bank has adequate capital to withstand the impact of any adverse
development.”

Regulatory and Prudential Aspects of Credit Management:
Identification, Classification and Provisioning for Bad and Doubtful Debt
“Management of credit portfolios of financial institutions is becoming more competitive and complex, as
lending has been moving away from traditional approaches of collateral backed lending to new frontiers
with relatively higher risks. Banks in such an environment could fail due to inadequate or improper
management of loan portfolios and non- adherence to the regulatory guidelines in addition to other internal
misalignments. Prudent management of credit portfolios with proper identification and classification of
loans and provisioning for bad and doubtful debt could prevent bank failures and associated costs to a
greater extent. Availability of such an effective mechanism enables banks to take prompt and timely actions
in contingent situations to prevent possible crises.”
