Current global trends in financial management and in banking in particular are demonstrating a gradual shift in focus from remote external financial control over bank’s operations to more internal risk-oriented financial control. Against this background, there is a fundamental change in organization of financial control in commercial banks, associated with the implementation of international norms and standards as well as Russian Federation legislation compliance with these norms and standards. In the context of rapid development and changes of nearly all technologies, the impacts from real and potential threats to internal and external environments, internal financial banking control is becoming increasingly important in ensuring growth of banks’ financial performance. Thus, given the importance of the very institution of financial control in the banking sector for financial and economic stability of any state, the presence of problematic issues in this area necessitates further studies of the characteristics of financial control in a commercial bank stemming from the already accumulated Russian and foreign experience.

The study employed the quantitative research approach. The sample was Ghana Commercial Bank Limited, Zenith Bank Limited, UT Bank and Ecobank Plc. These four banks were selected using stratified random sampling technique. The data were primarily secondary and quantitative in nature. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. When the banks were compared, Ghana Commercial Bank Limited was found to be more liquid than Zenith Bank Limited. That of Zenith bank was also higher than UT bank and Ecobank Plc .However, profitability indicators showed that Zenith Bank Limited and Ecobank Plc utilised its assets better than Ghana Commercial Bank Limited and UT bank resulting in the two banks higher scores over the period. The findings show further that Ghana Commercial Bank Limited showed higher ratios for investment in the future while Zenith Bank Limited showed higher ratios of higher dividend immediately.

In the article the basic methodological aspects and the results of approbation of alternative methods of complex comparative evaluation of reliability level of commercial banks are considered through the example of subjects of the banking sector in the Vologda region. On the one hand, the reliability of a commercial bank is the key criterion of soundness of banking system in general, and on the other, the foundation for a bank formation today and its prosperity in future. Consequently, in the current ambiguous financial conditions characterized by tough competition between credit-financial institutions a question of study and improvement of evaluation methods of the reliability of a commercial bank rises. . Study purpose: The purpose of this study is the introduction of the basic methodological aspects and the results of approbation of alternative methods of complex comparative evaluation of a reliability level of commercial banks through the example of subjects of the banking sector in the Vologda region. Materials and methods: the study was carried out based on building of the mathematical model, consisting of financial indexes, to each of which a relative share was assigned by expertise, and the following rating; multidimensional complex comparative evaluation; cluster allocation. The starting data for these studies was the 30 credit organizations reference book published in the official website of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Results: According to the received results the different approaches to making ratings of credit organizations used by us gave similar outcomes. This fact indicated the high degree of adequateness of the methods. For the objective evaluation we suggested and tested different methodological approaches to making ratings according to such qualitative characteristic of a commercial bank as reliability. In our study we used: the mathematical model consisting of financial indexes to each of which a relative share was assigned by expertise, and the following rating; multidimensional complex comparative evaluation; cluster allocation. That allowed, firstly, doing comparative evaluation of reliability while making rating, secondly, ranging banks by different problem blocks, thirdly, classifying the objects of the study according to their financial characteristics, fourthly, defining the main factors influencing the ranging of banks. The received results of methods approbation are the additional information to the ratings published by the leading rating agencies and the Bank of Russia which allows reasonably making decisions by choosing the best possible reliable credit organization. Conclusion: According to the studies the sizes of a commercial bank not always prove its stability, liquidity and operating efficiency. Analyzing the ratings of credit organizations by an absolute index we came to the conclusion that it was not enough to take into consideration only the volumes of activity of an organization though it is of no small importance. Therefore, in order to receive a realistic rating it is necessary to use different methods which will complement one another and give more definite result of a set task.

The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that at present in the activities of every commercial bank the problem of financial risks, deposit policy and activation of instruments for attracting and retaining existing deposit sources in the context of the crisis of the Russian economy is very urgent. Among other things, this problem is caused by the need for stabilization in the banking sector, based on preventing the outflow of funds from the deposit accounts of customers, which in turn leads not only to a decrease in liquidity and solvency indicators, but also to the subsequent potential bankruptcy of a financial institution.

The core objective of this project is to analyze the impact of interest rates changes on the profitability of commercial banks being operated in Pakistan by examining the financial statements of four major banks during 2008 to 2012. Like the efficiency of banking sector is considered most important for economic growth, monetary policy implementation and macro-economic stability. From the past few years, interest spread of banking sector of Pakistan is rising. As a result variations in the interest rate depress the savings and investment and on the other hand it increases the efficiency of banks’ lending. In this paper interest rate is an independent variable and bank profitability is a dependent variable. To examine the impact of interest rate changes on the profitability of commercial banks in Pakistan, Pearson correlation method is used in this study. As a result it is found that there is strong and positive correlation between interest rate and commercial banks’ profitability. It means if the value of interest rate is increases/decreases then as result value of banks’ profitability will also increases/decreases.

Резиме: Повећање агрегатне тражње је један од примарних циљева сваке привреде. Постизањем овог циља се остварују разни позитивни ефекти у привреди, који се манифестују кроз повећање потрошње, раст инвестиција, али и стварање бољег друштвеног амбијента. Кључну улогу у остварењу овог циља има држава, која својим инструментима и политикама усмјерава привреду ка повећању тражње. Иако су све привреде усмјерене ка томе, многе нису у могућности да зацртани циљ и остваре.Алтернатива, у настојању да се повећа агрегатна тражња, може бити у банкарском сектору. Наиме, повећање обима кредитних пласмана директно утиче на раст тражње. Комерцијалне банке, као и сва предузећа, настоје да континуирано повећавају своју вриједност на тржишту и боље се позиционирају. Један од начина да се у томе и успије јесте повећање прихода. С обзиром на специфичност комерцијалног банкарства, та њихова тежња се остварује, између осталог, путем побољшања кредитних пласмана. Да би се повећали приходи по овом основу, веома важна претпоставка је формирање атрактивних кредитних понуда, при чему је од изузетне важности да се уважавају ставови клијената о тој проблематици. Уважавати и вредновати њихове ставове значи идентификовати кључне факторе и прилагодити понуду њима. Моћ конџоинт анализе је у томе што нам омогућава да дођемо до одговора на постављени промблем. Алгоритам ове анализе представља мултиваријациону процедуру за мјерење преференција клијената банке у вези са атрибутима кредита. Конџоинт анализа се ослања на анкетирање клијената банке са репрезентативним сетом атрибута које клијенти рангирају према преференцијама. Квантитативне информације, које се добију, могу се искористити за моделирање кредитне понуде. У примјеру, једна комерцијална банка је заинтересована за формирање нове атрактивне кредитне понуде и жели да испита утицај више фактора (атрибута) на преференције клијената, како би дошла до одговора који је кључни фактор.Summary: The increase in aggregate demand is one of the primary goals of every economy. By achieving this goal, many positive effects in economy  are also achieved which is manifested through increase in consumption, investment and creating a better social environment. The state has the key role in achieving this goal, with its instruments and policies it directs economy toward demand increase. Although all economies aspire to this goal, many are not in position to realize the goal they have set for themselves.The alternative, in an effort to increase aggregate demand, may be the banking sector. Increase in volume of loans directly influences the growth of demand. Commercial banks, like all companies, strive to continually increase their value on the market and to better position themselves. One way to succeed in doing so is to increase the income. Given the specificity of commercial banking, their goal is achieved, inter alia, by improving of lending. In order to increase income on this basis,  a very important prerequisite is the formation of attractive credit offers with the strong emphasis on respecting the views of clients on this issue. To respect and value clients` views means identifying  key factors and adjusting the offer to them.The power of conjoint analysis is that it allows us to get the answer to this problem. The algorithm of this analysis is a multivariate procedure to measure the preferences of bank clients regarding the loan attributes. Conjoint analysis relies on a survey of bank clients with the representative set of attributes that are ranked according to clients` preferences. Obtained quantitative informations can be used to model the credit offer. For example, one commercial bank is interested in forming a new attractive credit offer and wants to study the influence of several factors (attributes) on client preferences in order to determine which factor is the most important one.

The objective of this study is to measure the efficiency of commercial banks in Tanzania using a non-parametric approach, the input-oriented data envelopment analysis (DEA), both by constant return to scale (CRS) and variable return to scale (VRS). For this purpose, two outputs representing total loans and total interest income, and three inputs representing total deposits, the number of employees and total expenses are selected for seven-years (2006-2012) period in the analysis. The findings under CRS model identify four banks to be fully efficient in the year 2006, two banks in 2007 and one bank in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, while VRS model results identify five banks to be fully efficient in the year 2006 and 2012, three banks in 2007 and two banks in 2008 and 2009, one bank 2010 and 2011. Four banks, Standard Charted bank, National Commercial Bank (NBC), Citibank and Barclays bank are found to be the most efficiency banks in Tanzania, which serve as the benchmark peers for inefficient banks in the sample, In addition Tobit regression has been used to determine the efficiency drivers.
