Banking exam syllabus 2026
The 2026 syllabus directory above summarises published official outlines. These topic guides below provide independent explanations and revision practice.
211 resources found Showing 121–144
Working-capital analysis follows money through inventory, sales, receivables and supplier payments. Learn why revenue growth can increase funding needs and why balance-sheet ratios need support from the business's actual collection and payment behaviour.
Distinguish a monitoring alert from a proven offence, connect customer context with transaction patterns and practise evidence-based escalation without inventing reporting thresholds or operational shortcuts.
Draw a family tree with generations and explicit gender information, trace relationships from the named viewpoint and resist filling missing details with assumptions about ordinary family arrangements.
Calculate a simple inflation rate from index values, distinguish slower price growth from falling prices and read the comparison period carefully before interpreting a reported change in consumer prices.
A fiscal deficit is a flow over a period, while public debt is a stock outstanding at a date. Borrowing can finance a financing gap, but debt comparisons require attention to repayments, adjustments and measurement coverage.
Secured credit is supported by specified collateral, while unsecured credit does not rely on that same pledged-asset structure. The distinction concerns a contractual protection mechanism, not a promise that one form is harmless or appropriate for everyone.
Safe digital banking requires understanding what a transaction instruction authorises and protecting authentication information. Fraud awareness should connect common pressure tactics with practical verification through trusted channels and accurate incident records.
Debt-service analysis compares a defined cash resource with scheduled interest and principal obligations. Learn why accounting profit is insufficient by itself and why the numerator, denominator and timing must be stated before interpreting a coverage ratio.
Look beyond an entity’s name to understand ownership and control, draw a simple company chain and distinguish authorised signatories from the people whose interests the entity ultimately serves.
Combine ranks counted from opposite ends, calculate the number of people between positions and recognise when group overlap or uncertain relative positions prevent a unique total.
Distinguish government taxation and expenditure choices from central-bank monetary actions, identify the institution and instrument in a policy story and avoid treating every economic announcement as the same kind of measure.
Money markets support short-term borrowing, lending and liquidity management. Instruments differ by maturity, collateral, issuer and counterparty risk, so a short maturity alone does not make all transactions economically identical or free of risk.
Financial inclusion concerns more than opening an account: people need usable, understandable and appropriate ways to access financial services. Measures of access, actual use, service quality and capability answer related but different questions about participation.
Ethical selling begins with the customer's need and a clear explanation of the proposed product. Suitability, informed consent and accurate disclosures help distinguish a helpful recommendation from pressure driven only by sales targets.
Project appraisal connects construction assumptions, operating performance and financing obligations. Learn how delays and cost overruns can interact, and why sensitivity analysis should examine the cash-flow consequences rather than change isolated numbers without explanation.
Follow the parties and document flow in a letter of credit, separating the bank’s documentary role from the buyer’s commercial concern about the physical quality of goods.
Solve a small circular arrangement by fixing one reference seat, handling left and right from each person’s facing direction and keeping a second diagram when a clue leaves genuine alternatives.
Build a preparation plan around verified recruitment instructions, separate application administration from skill practice and update a schedule when an official notice changes a relevant requirement or milestone.
For a bond with fixed promised cash flows, the price and required yield move in opposite directions, other things equal. Discounting explains the relationship without implying that every security has identical risk or price sensitivity.
Assisted banking can help customers use services through authorised local channels or personnel. Useful safeguards include understanding the action, protecting authentication secrets and obtaining transaction evidence that can be checked through official account records.
Nominal output measures production using current prices, while real output adjusts for price changes. Distinguishing the two helps a banker interpret growth reports without confusing higher prices with increased production volumes.
Risk appetite describes the risks an institution is willing to accept in pursuing its objectives. Learn how a broad statement becomes measurable boundaries, escalation triggers and decisions that remain connected with the bank's capacity.
Understand a bank guarantee as a commitment whose payment depends on its terms, identify the applicant and beneficiary and separate contingent exposure from an immediate cash advance.
Place people on explicitly numbered floors, translate above and below into ordered positions and distinguish adjacent floors from floors separated by a stated number of intervening levels.
