...SPECIAL REPORT I N T E R N AT I O N A L B A N K I N G May 19th 2012 Retail renaissance SPECIAL REPORT INTERNATIONAL BANKING Retail renaissance The internet and mobile phones are at long last turning boring old retail banking into an exciting industry, says Jonathan Rosenthal IF YOUR BANK could start over, this is what it would be, trumpeted the marketing campaign for the launch in 1999 of Wingspan, an internet bank. The following year the bank was gone. In September 2000, a few months after the dotcom bubble burst, it was absorbed by its boring American bricks-and-mortar parent, Bank One (now part of JPMorgan). For all the high hopes that the internet would transform banking, most other internet banks launched around that time met with a similar fate. Citi f/i, an online bank started by Citigroup, was folded back into its parent in 2000. NetBank, an American pioneer of internet banking, soldiered on for longer than most but was shut down by banking regulators in 2007. On the other side of the Atlantic, Egg, Britain’s rst stand-alone internet bank, shook the market in 1999-2000 when it gained more than 2m customers within months of starting up. But within a few years it, too, had in e ect disappeared, its customers having been sold rst to Citigroup and then to Barclays and the Yorkshire Building Society. It was an ignominious end to a bold experiment in online banking that had caused palms to sweat in banking centres around the world. The promise of internet banking...

...Congress and the Senate. In order to maintain integrity with these entities, the people that the money comes from need to know where their hard -earned money is going. There have been at least two boards set up: the Governmental Accounting Standards board and the Financial Accounting Stand Board. These boards have installed several statements of standards that tell what type of items needs to be reported. They also set the standard on how to report these financial statements. These recommendations have come down from audiences such as the one reading this memorandum, the nonfinancial audience. The boards mentioned above are reviewing audit reports that receive federal grants and donations. This is to make sure independent audit firms are in compliance with all regulations. Another thing that has come down from the nonfinancial audience is the change in the reports has made it easier and simpler to understand for people that have a complete grasp on numbers. Each person that reads a financial report will be able to easily understand where the funds came from, how much money came in, and when and where the funds were spent. This simplicity in reporting makes it very easy not to take items out of proportion and...

...realize that this also meant that management could use the system information to make highly educated business decisions. Which would you rather have to make an important decision: a report which was compiled over a week with information from last month’s sales, or a report which was built a few minutes ago, using the company’s up to the minute SAP database? There are many different ways to form useful reports with SAP. The most common is to run one of the many preconfigured reports which come with the system. If the preconfigured reports do not show you what you wish to see, you have the option of creating custom reports using two methods: Report Painter and Report Writer. Report Painter is the easier of the two. The Report Painter tool sets up a report template for you. All you have to do is decide what information you want to see, and enter the appropriate key figures and characteristics in the blank report template. Report Writer is much more difficult, and is usually only used by specialists. Report Writer involves the building of every aspect of the report, and requires an in-depth knowledge of database structures (specifically info cubes). In this tutorial we will be sticking with the use of the preconfigured reports. As a manager, you will most likely be using either these reports, or...
