Other Important Information

Banking Regulation

One of the great things about studying finance is that things are constantly evolving and
changing. One example is banking regulation. As mentioned in class Basel III, rather
than Basel II, now defines the regulatory framework for banking. Even though the
textbook only covers Basel II, please be aware that the quiz will assume that you have
knowledge of both Basel II and Basel III. You also need to understand how these
frameworks differ. There is really no point to examine you based on outdated regulations.

ASX CHESS Settlement

Please also be aware the settlement of trades on the ASX now takes place 2 days after the
transaction (T+2) and not the T+3 settlement stated in the textbook.

Academic Misconduct

Unfortunately the rates of academic misconduct for quizzes in this class have been very
high in the past. We have caught students that have cheated by lying about their identities
on the exam paper, sitting the quiz twice across multiple lecture streams, copying
answers, failing to hand in their multi-choice sheet and claiming it was lost, taking photos
of the paper with their smart phones etc. We will be on high alert for any such schemes.
Anyone caught will automatically receive zero and may face academic suspension.
