Capital markets are an important component of the financial system for raising funds for long-term investment. They provide opportunities for diversification of risk through cross-sectional risk sharing. The long-term investments are facilitated through a series of short-term contracts in the form of tradable securities enabling the investors an opportunity to exit or enter through trade. Thus they provide an element of liquidity to the otherwise illiquid assets. The secondary market also provides pricing and valuation of assets on a continued basis thus eliminating arbitrage and inefficiencies

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

1. “Steps in Creating Global Islamic Money Markets:
Why is it Important to Mediterranean Countries”
VII MEDITERRANEAN WEEK OF ECONOMIC LEADERS:
First Islamic Finance Summit
November 21st , 2013
Issam Al Tawari
Chairman & Managing Director
Rasameel Structured Finance , Kuwait
2. Vision – Global Islamic Money Markets
Efficient Global Islamic money markets are must for a welloiled banking and financial services machinery
Presence of a robust market system
• Ensures efficient utilization of shortterm savings
• Provides market for short-term
financing and securities
• Allows mobilization of large sum of
funds between surplus and deficit
participants through monetary policies
• Provides large number of options in
terms of instruments to invest into
• Allows participants to manage risks
more efficiently and protect investors
from market volatility
• Mitigates the volatility of working
capital needs
• Establish debt market pricing curve
• Acts as a benchmark for pricing
derivatives
• Boost investors’ confidence
• Helps in making banking system more robust
through efficient liquidity management
mechanisms
• Money market cross border integration reduces
transaction costs and produces environment
with competitive yields
• Matches short-term assets and liabilities (Islamic
financial institutions, due to their inherent
nature, face huge asset liability mismatch risk)
• Allows investors to invest into different asset
classes through large number of instruments
with varieties of terms
• Central banks may play a major role in
implementing monetary policy through a well
developed and strongly integrated money
market.
• Markets allow central banks to do open market
operations, government issuances, manage
liquidity and set pricing targets
2
3. Gap Analysis
Conventional markets offer a scope of products that do not
form part of Islamic finance ecology
• Collateralized short-term Islamic financing market significantly lags behind uncollateralized short-term
•
Collateralized
Instruments
financing market
Secured financing is more prevalent in most developed conventional money markets. Key instruments
in these markets are:
Repo Market
Asset backed securities market (ABCP)
FX swap market
Futures (forward rate agreements)
Shariah compliance
Required effectiveness
• Collateralized instruments present better chance for Islamic money markets to achieve
• Most developed markets offer a broad array of both secured and unsecured financial instruments
• Some of the key unsecured instruments that are yet to be inducted into Islamic money markets are:
Non-collateralized
Instruments
Commercial Papers
Certificate of Deposits (CDs)
Bankers’ Acceptance (BA)
Municipal & Government Loans
Treasury Bills
3
4. The Way Forward
Product Innovation
• To address these concerns,
foremost focus should be to
develop new products that
may include securitization
products like Asset backed
securities, Repos, Forward
contracts, FX swap, etc
• In order to make markets
more versatile, both
collateralized and unsecured
financing instruments need
to be developed,
• The objective should be to
introduce more products
that are universally accepted
under Shariah law and thus
increasing the scope of
money market instruments
Regulatory
Framework
Standardisation
• Standardization is a key
element in the progress of
Islamic finance
• Regulators play a pivotal role
in
• It ensures universal
acceptance and usage of a
product
• Bodies like IIFM & ISDA have
been playing a vital role here
facilitating unification,
Shariah harmonization and
legal reforms in Islamic
financial markets and
products
• Lowers transaction costs
Encouraging
standardisation of
structures and
documentation
Enhancing the system by
ensuring compliance by the
participants.
Market
Infrastructure
• Impetus should also be on
building the necessary
infrastructure to ensure
smooth market operations
and creation of secondary
markets..
• This facilitates efficient
capital and trade flows
• Regulators may also help in
creating awareness among
market players to encourage
participation
• They may also help in human
talent management by
conducting courses in
Shariah principles, legal and
management aspects
