The Institute of Financial Services (ifs Malta) organised its highly anticipated Annual Dinner recently at The Westin Dragonara. The well-established event in the calendar of the financial services sector turned out to be a very successful gathering of key stakeholders from the financial and business community together with those from academia and constituted bodies.

 

Ifs Malta President, Peter Calleya commenced the proceedings with a welcome address to attendees as the elected 15th President of the Institute which has a rich history of over 60 years. From the Institute’s achievements, Mr Calleya highlighted the graduation ceremony which took place earlier in the year for some 200 students. During this event there were the first graduates of the degree level Award in ESG, an academic programme offered in collaboration with the University of Malta. Other activities included various seminars and bespoke training programmes.

The Institute is currently offering financial and academic programmes ranging from Certificate to Master’s level in more than 30 distinct areas of study, most of which are done through strategic alliances with internationally renowned professional educational bodies. One of our esteemed courses in collaboration with the University of Malta, aims to empower participants with the knowledge and skills to analyse and address emerging ESG issues in their organizations. The module covers the fundamentals of Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG), including how this information assesses risks, identifies opportunities, and guides corporate actions influenced by stakeholders and investors.

Mr Calleya thanked all stakeholders for their contribution and ongoing support to the Institute and acknowledged the ongoing cooperation with the European Banking and Financial Services Training Association whose Board member, Ken O’Sullivan from the Institute of Bankers, Ireland was in attendance and the strong alliance and long-standing relationship with the London Institute of Banking and Finance and International Compliance Association who were represented at the event by Mr Rob Thompson and Mr Tim Tyler respectively.
