Electronic Banking and Security

This guide addresses a key area of development in corporate treasury and banking. The electronic transmission of payment instructions from a company to its banks means that it is exposed to risks previously covered by the bank's own security systems. The existing security controls for cheques and other manual payment systems are no longer adequate and treasurers and bankers must find alternatives. As companies accept new levels of exposure and develop new systems with the banks, this book is an essential resource for the practitioner, giving expert advice on:. * Electronic banking systems. * Legal issues. * Electronic data interchange. * Treasury management systems. * International developments. The contributors, drawn from the treasury, banking and computing sectors, cover everything from the systems themselves to the new documentation (including the US Uniform code 4A). With experts from Lloyds, Bank of America, Ernst and Young, Logica, and many others this aims to provide an authoritative source of advice for corporate treasurers, finance directors, and corporate bankers.
