ICBA certification programs are designed to raise the standards of professionalism in the industry and give consumers a consistent stamp of approval to look for when selecting a banker.

To make this happen, respected members of the ICBA certification board establish baseline criteria in several areas of specialization. Then, experienced, nationally recognized instructors create training programs that target the needs of community banks based on those criteria. Finally, competency testing is measured after completion and a certification designation is granted. Annual continuing professional education is then required to ensure participants remain current.

ICBA Education is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. State boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit. Complaints regarding registered sponsors may be submitted to the National Registry of CPE Sponsors through its website: www.nasbaregistry.org

Stifel Solutions for Balance Sheet Management
Thursday, July 17 | 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET

The decline in short-term rates and steepening of the yield curve has created an improved operating environment and higher earnings for banks. Additionally, liquidity and capital stress have declined, while loan growth and credit quality remain stable. Active strategy development and risk management are key to achieving and maintaining high performance.

This webinar will explore aggregate industry sensitivities across these risks and draw parallels for how other institutions may react. Commentary throughout will include references to peer activity, regulatory and accounting developments, and finally relative value opportunities in investments, loans, funding, and derivatives.

In this webinar you will learn about:

  • Community Bank Trends
  • Bond Portfolio Trends and Relative Value
  • Interest Rate Risk Profiles
  • Deposit Trends, Pricing, Liquidity, Funding and Hedging Strategies
  • Strategies to Protect Profitability and Manage Risk
