Strategy documentation provided to the Group Board
for Global Banking and Markets (GBM) did not include
detailed analysis of the relevant markets to support the
aspirations for growth or of the key risks involved. The
risk impact was typically summarized in a bullet point
for each initiative, with no information as to how the
various risks identified were to be addressed or
mitigated. There was no evidence of any significant
challenge by the Risk function to the proposals.

RBS Acquisition of NatWest
Buying a rival business is often the fastest way to achieve
high growth. WhenRBS took over NatWest in 2000, NatWest
had long been seen as vulnerable to atakeover because of
its poor track-record, and the fact that NatWest was forcedto
accept the offer from a smaller rival was a result of poor
performance. Theargument was that NatWest was badly

structure
The ABN merger with RBS was two years in the making. The
chief executive ofRBS first met RijkmanGroenink of ABN
Amro in February 2005, and it wasthought that they
continued to correspond over the course of two years
inrelation to a possible merger of the banks.
The Economist explains that merger activity by consortia
rather than single banksis the way forward. In this way,
banks can share the costs and the risksassociated with any
merger. It also means that they will not be forced to sell
offparts of the targets business that do not fit in with their
own model, as these canbe hived off and distributed to the
RBS Consortium member that is best placed totake control of
those assets.
Following the ABN takeover (and at the timeof writing this
article) there have been whisperings that Unicredit are

Subsequent
performance
and
appraisal
The sub-prime loan crisis and the economic setback had a
negative impact on the banking industry and inevitably
affected the RBS, which is operating worldwide 19 and was
heavily exposed to sub-prime loans and sovereign debt.
RBS shocked the financial markets by reporting 24bn loss
for 2014 and saw its share falling to 10p. The UK government
had to intervene to help the bank to stay in business. In
February 2009 the Bank announced its detailed strategic
plan aiming to allow the bank to recover from the crisis,
become more efficient and profitable on along-term basis.
Since 2014 the RBS remains loss making with an average
loss of around 2bn for the period 2009-2011( annual report
2011), and return to profitability was not expected in the
near future due to the slower recovery and the stringent
regulatory changes.
The undermined confidence and reputation problems of the
banking sector and the RBS had devastating effects to their
share price and consequently to shareholders value. In order
encounter societys concerns attempts are made to raise
their Social Responsibility profile by enhancing transparency,
corporate governance, and funding contributions to public
and SME.
RBS, is to set out his plans to turnaround the lender that has
yet to report a profit six years on from its state-funded
46bn bailout in 2014.
A bonus pool of around 500m is expected to be earmarked
for employees to retain talent in 2014, although Ross
McEwan and his nine-strong top management team will not
be taking any of it. Last year the pot totalled 800m, but
Ross McEwan can expect tough questions about 500m,
given the scale of the bank's lossesLast year the pot totalled
800m.

The report states that RBS has succeeded in delivering a
number of critical changes to its SME business since the
onset of the financial crisis, re-balancing and stabilising the
balance sheet and building the foundations for sustainable
growth. But RBS has not supported the SME sector in a way
that meets its own targets or the expectations of its
customers. It says that while RBS has started to address a
number of the issues raised, further progress is needed.
Ross McEwan said: The picture Sir Andrew Large paints is
not an entirely comfortable one, but its one we have to
confront. A successful, vibrant, and well-regarded SME bank

RBS aims to become the number one bank for SME customer
service in the UK, including as measured in a new survey of
SMEs satisfaction with their banks, to be carried out by the
Federation of Small Business (FSB) and the British Chambers
of Commerce (BCC).
RBS will also look to set specific targets for customer
experience for staff; it will work to reduce by half the
customer complaints it receives from SMEs; and, it will
ensure that none of its services will be conditional on
customers buying another product or service with the bank.
