Imarticus Learning, leading providers of Industry Specific Educational Courses, today announced the launch of CIBIF (Certified Investment Banking International Finance professional) program. This program is designed for students interested in shaping their careers in the Investment Banking industry in areas of Financial Control, Product Control, Financial Planning & Analysis & Corporate Treasury. This unique and specialized course is scheduled to begin from November, 2012. It is a comprehensive three months program which will enable students to gain in-depth knowledge of Global Investment Banking and Capital Markets, Securities & Derivatives industry, Global Accounting & Reporting Standards, Balance Sheet Forecasting and Analysis, Corporate Treasury and IB Corporate Finance.

This industry-designed course is structured for candidates who have completed or are pursuing CA, ICWA or CS.  It will also cater to job seekers and individuals who have worked in Finance and Accounting functions and wish for a career change in Investment Banking. The CIBIF  course is designed to be industry relevant in Corporate Finance for Investment Banking, which will create a distinct advantage over other general finance professionals.

The typical responsibilities of a Corporate International Finance Professional include: 
  • To safeguard the firm's assets across complex trading structures.
  • To manage the firm’s liquidity, secured and unsecured funding requirements, balance sheet reporting and analysis from entities and subsidiaries to group holding companies.
  • To protect the firm's capital against counterparty default and creates a strong risk management framework.
  • To look after the firm’s relationships with regulators, rating agencies and creditors and provide a broad analytical and regulatory compliance support across all IB businesses.
  • To ensure that the firm complies with the tax laws of the countries it operates in.
  • To provide meticulous knowledge and understanding across areas such as Front Office, Legal, Compliance, Operations & Technology.
Sonya Hooja, Co Founder and Director, Imarticus Learning says, “The shortage of appropriately skilled labour across many industries is emerging as a significant and complex challenge to India's growth and future.What we have today is a growing skills gap reflecting the slim availability of specialized education and industry specific knowledge. There are thousands of CA graduates who are unable to find the right job because the knowledge that they have received is theoretical and may not be fully relevant to the demands of the Global IB firms. Through the CIBIF program, we aim to eliminate this shortcoming by imparting explicit knowledge and training in the dominant sectors of Investment Banking “

The Finance and Domain training will be complemented with a Personal Development Program, ensuring that the candidates are well prepared for the Corporate Investment Banking industry. A wide range of industry experts from highly reputed organizations will mark their presence for this program to share their expertise and knowledge followed by interactive Q&A sessions to provide guidance for the students.

The CIBIF course aims to reach out and fix the skill gap by providing in-depth understanding of Global Capital Markets, Complex Trading Activities, Financial Control across Complex Entity Structures, Regulatory and Compliance Reporting, and Treasury across the broad spectrum of IB divisions.
