In order for Financial Institutions to hide as much in liabilities as they wanted, all

(SPEs) in which they did not have a controlling interest. In other words, if Bradley-Bingly and Lehman Brothers create a company in which they each take a 50% interest, neither company, technically, has a controlling interest. Since the mortgage-backed securities that these companies created or bought were sold to investors, in many instances these SPEs were extremely lax in their underwriting standards. Subprime, Alt-A, interest-only and adjustable mortgages

-aged and sold to unwary investors. Let the buyer beware. Meanwhile, these SPEs

were making big bonuses based on spectacular reported earnings. But as the orgy of lending got so out of hand that buyers of securitized mort-gages began to balk, the plans went awry. The execs in big banks couldn't stand to let the orgy end; so, they started guaranteeing the securities in order to get them sold. These guarantees eliminated their protection from the blowback of securities gone bad. Now the liabilities could end up on their balance sheets. Not surprisingly, many did. That's how we got here. That's why investors will take hits in the hundreds of

evaporated along with billions of dollars of market capitalization. YOU can stop this from happening again. Be a CSI.

The Financial Crisis towards the end of 2008 is a plain and simple case

poor regulatory supervisison, failure in compliance and internal auditand mismanagement of the banks.

> Why Become a CSI ?

THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO FUNCTION EFFEC-TIVELY AS A AUDITOR, IT PROFESSIONALS,ACCOUNTANTS, FINANCIAL EXECUTIVES, FRAUD INVESTIGATORS, ETC. IN ALL SECTORS CONTINUESTO EXPAND AND CHANGE AT A RAPID RATE; AS A PROFESSIONAL, YOU FACE INCREASED KNOWLEDGE AND

SKILL EXPECTATIONS, AS WELL AS UNPRECEDENTED SCRUTINY. CONTINUED DEVELOP-MENT OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE AND LIFELONG LEARNING ARE CRITICAL IF THEPROFESSIONAL IS TO MEET THESE EXPECTATIONS

> What is CSI (Certified System Investigator)?In most cases, a CSI is someone who has completed a programme of study and practical trainings in the CSI, passed the Uniform CSI Examinations and obtained high standard of professional work experience in the field. Due to the high standard of this certifying programme, it is becoming a much sought after benchmark in the financial market. This is an industrial recognition that CPAs, CFEs, CFAs, etc. seek to be certified.

Enthusiastic internal and external auditors - and IT auditors - are using the knowledge from this certification programme to bring value-added services to their clients and corporations.Financial and IT institutions operate within global markets, where change and competitive pressures are constant. One key corporate strategy is to build up internal business competencies. Having people with the right competencies (the right knowledge, skills and attitude to perform specific job functions) who understand the markets and the operations, and can navigate through the intricacies of the market place is fundamental for financial institutions to ensure their long-term growth and success.

Our objective is to increase the existing pool of competent industrial practitioners who can perform to international standards through a series of structured software training programmes.

Henceforth, every CSI certi�ed from 2009 would have acquired three critical body ok knowledge.Namely,• Black Belt in Financial Analysis• Black Belt in SEATA • Black Belt in Data Analytics and Digital Forensics
