A Short History of Profitability Analysis in Banks
Profitability analysis goes deeper than the typical financial
report. This process takes a comprehensive view of the
institution's performance enabling management to fully
understand how the organization makes a profit so they can make
changes to meet the demand for higher returns. The Kafafian
Group's profitability analysis system enhances traditional
financial reporting with a number of specialized analysis
techniques. Some of these are specific to banking; others
originated in different industries. They are:
Funds Transfer Pricing
This is a way to value the source of funds independent from
the uses you put it to, and vice versa.
Activity-Based Costing
The idea is to allocate costs based on the way resources are
consumed.
Capital Allocation
This describes to those managing the institution how well the
institution's funds are deployed, particularly on a
risk-adjusted basis.
Multi-dimensional Reporting
This reports on the profitability of the important ways of
viewing your business. Typically these are product, organizational
and customer profitability.
Peer Group Reporting
This is an exclusive report produced using the results of all
of the Kafafian Group's clients.
