United Overseas Bank has announced the launch of UOB Finance Academy, a dedicated training and development programme in Singapore focused on equipping all employees in the bank's finance function with the soft and technical skills required to become future leaders in their field.
The UOB Finance Academy, which was designed in-house, builds on Better U, the bank’s group-wide flagship learning and development programme accredited by the Institute of Banking and Finance Singapore . Once members of the bank’s finance team have completed Better U, they are able to progress through the UOB Finance Academy’s structured three-month learning programme.
The academy enables participants to deepen their knowledge of banking - especially in areas such as risk management, regulation and liquidity management. Participants will also sharpen their financial acumen through modules that encourage an analytical approach to evaluating strategies and risks, as well as accounting and bank financial analysis.
In addition, the academy will arm participants with technical skills such as advanced data analytics to reinforce their analytical skills in evaluating commercial/business strategies.
