论银行业务外包

银行业务外包是指银行通过契约将原内部工作交由他人完成,是银行应对日益激烈的市场竞争的重要工具,也是银行主动调整战略、实现核心价值的有效手段。随着国际银行外包业务范围扩大化、专业化、全球化的趋势,关于中国银行业务外包的研究越来越引起国内理论界和实务界的关注。本文在对国际国内银行业务外包进行比较分析的基础上,针对我国银行外包业务刚刚起步,业务范围狭隘、外包服务商不成熟、法律监管制度不健全等问题,我们提出了相应的政策建议。     

业务外包：农行如何面对？

银行业务外包不仅可以降低成本,减少交易和操作风险,减少与信用风险相联系的资本要求,而且能将部分人力资源从日常维护管理中解放出来,增强银行核心竞争力。业务外包是银行未来的成长趋势。农行要想适应历史发展潮流,进一步增强竞争实力,必须逐步实施业务外包。本文拟从农行业务外包的必要性、实施步骤及风险防范等方面的问题进行粗浅探讨。     

我国商业银行业务外包的风险与防范

作为一种能够降低银行经营管理成本、提高工作效率、分散和转嫁风险的新兴事务,银行业务外包正在被越来越多的国内商业银行所重视。但银行在将业务外包的过程中,也存在着诸如法律、合同、操作、声誉等各方面的风险。本文分析了银行业务外包的好处和存在的风险,指出了外包管理应坚持的原则,并针对外包业务存在的风险,从外包服务商的选择、完善外包合同、加强业务培训、建立应急机制、完善法律制度等方面提出了针对性的措施和建议。     

商业银行业务外包的风险及其防范

银行软件项目外包中的风险与对策

现代银行的业务系统构建在以软件为核心的IT系统之上。随着中国银行业的全面对外开放，激烈的市场竞争对银行的IT系统提出了更高的要求。为了应对这一挑战，一些银行将软件项目外包，以实现在专注于自身核心竞争力的同时获取前沿技术和优质服务。然而软件项目外包并不是甩包袱，项目虽然外包出去了，责任并没有外包出去。在高度复杂的现代软件生产活动中，风险无处不在。软件外包作为软件生产的新方式同样存在各种风险。在软件外包项目管理中，银行IT部门必须在软件外包的全过程中实行动态和连续的跟踪、控制，仔细分析风险的来源和特征并采取相应的风险规避策略。本文详细分析软件外包项目的各个生命周期中存在的主要风险及其对策。     

银行业务外包问题探讨

银行业务外包是对传统银行经营范式的一大挑战，是当代银行再造运动的重要组成部分。银行业务外包，符合经济学理论中的分工原理、比较优势原理及规模经济原理。银行业务外包，有利于银行降低成本率，提高收益率，集中优势抓好核心业务，从而有利于银行提升核心竞争力。     

浅谈银行业务外包风险及应对策略

引言业务外包(outsourcing)其解释是“外部寻源”。金融业务外包被界定为“被监管者将部分在持续经营的基础上本应由自己从事的业务利用第三方(既可以是被监管者集团内部的附属子公司,也可以是集团外的公司)来完成”。进入21世纪以后,银行金融服务外包已呈现出一种迅猛发展的态势。德勤研究所2004年一份关于金融服务的研究报告指出,33%的被调查者称他们已经外包IT业务,75%的被调查者称将在未来24个月之内实施离岸项目外包。一、外包的收益分析(1)外包的直接收益即外包本身直接给银行带来的收益。外包可以降低银行经营成本,银行的成本可以用以下的公式来表示:Y=C BX U其中:Y-银行的总成本;C-固定成本;B-提供的服务量与可变成本的比例系数;X-服务的总量;U-各种费用。由上式可知,银行的固定成本在短期内是一个常数,但是从长期来看,外包业务需要的固定投资由承包商自己提供,从而可以减少银行与之相关的固定投资。因此,从长期来看,业务外包能降低银行的固定成本。因为有承包商提供专业化的服务,所以银行也能提高效率,提供更多的服务,在可变成本不变的情况下,B值就会降低,即降低银行单位服务的成本。针对U值,由于业务外包可以减...     

银行电子化培训工作的思考

随着银行电子化程度的不断提高,银行业务对计算机的依赖越来越大,使得各业务岗位对工作人员素质和电子技能的要求也越来越高。培训工作是提高人员素质的一个重要途径,只有把好了培训这一关,才能从根本上将银行业务电子化的应用与维护由被动转向主动,推动电子化的迅速发展。现就银行电子化培训工作谈一些看法。     

Almanac of anticipations: The age of affluence—of anticipation—of anxiety—of automation—of discontinuity—of longing—of overkill—of space exploration

With this survey of developments in the futures field since 1945, I.F. Clarke completes his present series for Futures. He makes two major points: that forecasting techniques have become essential tools in the management of change; and that nuclear weapons and ecological problems have added a moral dimension to the study of the future. In the next issue of Futures he will start a new series on the range of future-thinking in the USA, from the expectations of the first settlers to the Star Wars programme.

对基层人民银行科技工作的几点建议

银监会分设后,人民银行将专司货币政策、金融稳定、金融服务三大职能。作为人民银行的分支机构,基层人民银行的工作重心也将从金融监管调整到这三大职能上来。人民银行的科技部门,就要积极运用科技手段,为人民银行履行新的职能发挥“服务、支持、促进、发展”的作用。一、围绕三大职能搭建五大平台经过“六五打基础、七五作准备、八五大发展”几个阶段后,人民银行相继实现了核算电算化、清算网络化和办公信息化。特别是近一两年来,陆续开通了大额支付系统、信贷登记咨询系统、会计四集中系统、金融信息服务网站等系统,人民银行信息化水平又…

Summary of Results of Survey of Seminar Attendees

Abstract

The Society of Actuaries undertook a three-phase research project on mortality improvement in the three NAFTA countries: Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. Phase 1 consisted of a literature review of papers on projecting mortality levels in the future and a study of the trend in mortality improvement during this century. Phase 2 consisted of a discussion of different facets of modeling mortality rates at a seminar attended by 79 experts (actuaries, demographers, economists, and medical researchers) representing different countries. The last session of the seminar consisted of the completion of a survey by the attendees to obtain input for Phase 3, which would analyze the impact of mortality improvement on the social security system of each country. This paper summarizes the results of the survey.

The survey results illustrate the difficulty in forecasting mortality levels, because the effects of many factors that could have significant impact on mortality rates are unknown. This suggests the need for dynamic forecasting, which allows for the possibility of random shocks. A majority of the survey respondents believe that stochastic forecasting models, despite their complexity, have significant potential to add value. Respondents also believe that both historical data and cause-specific mortality forecasts are useful as input and also in validating forecasts of the aggregate levels of mortality. The challenge is to develop more sophisticated forecasting models to produce results that are relatively easy to interpret and to communicate these results to the desired audiences, including the public and policymakers.

The survey results suggest that the aggregate effect of lifestyle changes, medical advances, diseases, catastrophe, and physical environmental changes is an increase in life span. However, there is much uncertainty about the future. Respondents expect that beyond the year 2020 the mean annual rate of reduction in mortality for males age 65 and over will average about 0.58% for Canada, 0.76% for Mexico, and 0.67% for the U.S. The results for the female age 65 and over population are 0.64%, 0.83%, and 0.70%, respectively. The age 65 and over population is expected to see larger percentage reductions in mortality than the 0–14 and 15–64 populations. The reductions in male and female mortality will be ultimately the same, and the mortality levels in the three countries will ultimately converge, although differences may persist for decades.     

The Usefulness of Measures of Consistency of Discretionary Components of Accruals in the Detection of Earnings Management

Abstract:  Prior research has shown the prevalence of measurement error in models used to estimate aggregate discretionary accruals. In these models, the incremental information content of the various components of accruals is ignored. Limited prior research and data gathered from firms under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) litigation indicate that managers use either one or more than one component of accruals simultaneously, in a consistent way to manipulate bottom-line earnings in a given direction. I propose two measures that capture the consistency between the discretionary components of accruals and test their significance in earnings management (EM) detection in firms that have artificially added accrual manipulation and firms that were targeted by the SEC for accrual manipulation. There is evidence that this information is incrementally useful in detecting EM. This finding paves the way for improvements in the discretionary accruals measure by including consistency information from the components of aggregate accruals.     

Properties of time-series estimates of degree of leverage measures

Empirical studies suggest that time-series regression estimates of the degrees of operating and financial leverage have a tendency to produce measures less than one. According to ex ante theory, these measures should be greater than one for firms operating above the breakeven point. There have also been suggestions that the biases in these estimates may be attributable to an underlying increase in unit sales. This work presents evidence that these counter-intuitive measures are produced by changes in the firm's operating parameters (unit price, variable cost, fixed cost and interest payments). It further suggests that attempts to control for the underlying change in unit sales substantially increase the volatility of predicted estimates.     

浅议金融机构的举证责任

金融纠纷案件是当事人以存单或进账单、对账单、存款合同、保险单、票据、证券等凭证为主要证据向人民法院提出诉讼的案件,对于不同种类金融纠纷的当事人的举证责任,我国现行的金融法律、法规及司法解释有不同的规定。由于金融机构的特殊法律地位,发生金融纠纷时存在有关当事人将最后偿付风险转移给金融机构承担的主观故意,在客观上会使金融机构难以提供相应的证据来对抗不法债权人的诉讼请求,而导致金融机构败诉。为此,对金融诉讼案件中金融机构的举证责任加以研究具有重要的实践意义。     

银行管理信息平台建设发展的思考

一、目前国内银行IT发展现状及面临的问题 银行数据集中工作的完成,标志着银行的业务由电子化建设阶段转入信息化建设阶段.一方面银行数据的集中提供了丰富全面的基础数据,面对日益庞大的数据源,如何将数字转化为对银行有用的信息,并从中发现知识,为银行的经营决策提供支持,是摆在银行IT人员面前的一个亟待解决的问题.另一方面用户对银行信息的需求日益增长,如果银行没有一套完整、实用的信息管理系统,将对业务发展非常不利.南京爱立信公司倒戈花旗银行事件曾经轰动一时,其中一个重要原因就是中国本地银行不能满足爱立信全球总部对南京爱立信公司的要求:每周财务上报和每天贷款限额管理.这一事件为中国商业银行的未来发展敲响了警钟,如果不加快管理信息系统的开发,迅速提升业务管理水平,类似的事件还会接连不断地发生,并最终导致国内商业银行在同国外商业银行的竞争中全面溃败.     

Separation of Unit of Account from Medium of Exchange

The separation of a unit of account (UoA) from a medium of exchange (MoE) in the commodity–money system is investigated by considering explicitly a seller's choice of UoA in terms of either an MoE or a unit of metal weight. If the likelihood of debasement of an MoE and its rate are high enough, the price is posted in terms of a unit of metal weight rather than an MoE. Interestingly, this MoE–UoA separated equilibrium yields the flexible nominal price, whereas an MoE–UoA integrated equilibrium yields the sticky one. This implies the nominal price rigidity in the fiat‐money system where MoE and UoA are integrated.
