GCB Bank is taking significant strides in financial efficiency with a recent strategic training initiative aimed at maximizing value across the organization. Organized by the Expense Control Team within the Finance Department, the two-day intensive training was facilitated by KPMG and themed "Strategic Value for Money: Ensuring Value Across Organizations"
The training brought together key stakeholders from Legal Services, Internal Control, Banking Operations, Human Resource, Retail Banking, Corporate Affairs, Finance, Procurement, Information & Technology, Audit, and Properties. Participants engaged in interactive sessions, case studies, and expert-led discussions, gaining deeper insights into best practices for expense control, risk mitigation, and efficiency enhancement. The training also underscored the importance of aligning financial strategies with organizational goals to achieve sustainable growth.
