ALMA's recent online sessions "Explain Treasury Like I'm Five" have proved so popular that we have taken some of the topics covered in these sessions and turned them into podcasts.

In the first episode of ALMA's new series of "Treasury Matters" podcasts, CertBALM®er, Charles Lyon from Handelsbanken, talks to Aisling Coleman (ALMA Board Member and Barclays) about the basics of Capital, what it is and how it is used within a bank.

It's a great listen for everyone - whether you are new to Treasury, work in a bank or already know something about Capital.

Ever been in a meeting and heard the terms "Recovery", "Resolution" and "Stress Continuum"? Do they leave you bored and confused, but you know you ought to understand something about it? If so, this is the podcast which brings these terms to life. Kevin O'Donnell from Skipton Building Society talks to Justin Fox, Virgin Money and Chair of ALMA, about these ideas. Both Kevin and Justin have a deep theoretical and, more importantly, practical knowledge around these matters. It is a worthwhile listen to add to your expertise.
