Brian Kettell July 1985 Series Editor xi Preface This book covers a broad range of topics relating to banking but aims primarily at the aspects of banking which comprise the syllabus of the Institute of Bankers examination in Practice of Banking - 1 (Banking Diploma - Stage 2). Although the textbook should be of particular interest and assistance to students engaging upon a study of the relative Institute of Bankers subject, the book will, due to the wide range of technical banking information it contains coupled with the practical guidance it affords, provide a useful general reference book for practising branch bankers and for students in educational institutes who are studying financial and business courses.
