culture. What remains is the same objective, which is to satisfy customers and to retain their loyalty. Banks try to offer a wide range of services for all of their specific clients. The author of this thesis has therefore decided to compare the structure of the two pre- selected banks and the fees associated with a current bank account with a bank that provides its services on the Czech banking market and banks that offer their services on the banking market in the UK. To perform a high quality thesis, the author entered the following three main objectives: 1. To compare the financial statements of selected banks, namely income statement, balance sheet and cash flow. 2. To analyse and compare the fees for a current bank account with two selected banks. 3. All work is concluded with a questionnaire to assess the overall satisfaction rating of clients of British and Czech banks. Primary and secondary data will be used to evaluate this thesis. Official websites of banks that provide services in the Czech Republic and in the UK will be a tool for obtaining secondary data. Own calculations and the comparison of financial statements will be the primary source for evaluating the thesis. Questionnaires are another primary source; the questionnaires were filled in by correspondents interviewed in the UK and the Czech Republic. The thesis should outline the differences in the financial statements which are associated with the activities of banks and different accounting

    GLADSTONE AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND: A STUDY IN MID-VICTORIAN FINANCE, 1833-1866 Patricia Caernarv en-Smith, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: Denis Paz, Major Professor Adrian Lewis, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Laura Stern, Committee Member Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Caernarven-Smith, Patricia. Gladstone and the Bank of England: A Study in Mid- Victorian Finance, 1833-1866. Master of Arts (History), May 2007, 378 pp., 11 tables, bibliography, 275 titles. The topic of this thesis is the confrontations between William Gladstone and the Bank of England. These confrontations have remained a mystery to authors who noted them, but have generally been ignored by others. This thesis demonstrates that Gladstone’s measures taken against the Bank were reasonable, intelligent, and important for the development of nineteenth-century British government finance. To accomplish this task, this thesis refutes the opinions of three twentieth-century authors who have claimed that many of Gladstone’s measures, as well as his reading, were irrational, ridiculous, and impolitic. My primary sources include the Gladstone Diaries, with special attention to a little-used source, Volume 14, the indexes to the Diaries. The day-to-day Diaries and the indexes show how much Gladstone read about financial matters, and suggest that his actions were based to a large extent upon his reading. In addition, I have used Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates and nineteenth-century periodicals and books on banking and finance to understand the political and economic debates of the time.

    The fate of the UK’s single market - the issue that the referendum campaigns failed to address and how it shaped the outcome Alf Young The referendum produced a blizzard of claim and counter-claim about the consequences for the Scottish economy of a Yes or a No vote. However one defining economic issue, it seems to me, was overlooked throughout on all sides. Hardly anyone chose to explore, in any depth, the fate of the United Kingdom’s single market in goods and services, labour and capital, if the political union that brought it into being came to an end, by popular assent. Yes Scotland was at pains throughout to insist that, were there to be an in-out referendum in 2017 on UK membership of the European Union, the only way to preserve Scotland’s place in Europe’s single market would be to embrace independence. That implies being part of a wider, open market is vital to national economic success. So why did Yes have so little to say about the fate, were its campaign to succeed, of the much older common market Scotland currently enjoys, by being a member of the UK? The No side had plenty to say about a related economic feature of the existing union. Its shared currency. No hammered away at why an independent Scotland could not expect to go on using the pound, as part of a formal monetary union, if it chose to leave. One of the main campaigning thrusts of Better Together was to accuse the other side of having no Plan B.

  • Lloyds Banking Group Archives
    CASE STUDY | Identity and engagement Lloyds Banking Group Archives Opened in 2006, the Museum on the Mound, located in Bank of Scotland’s historic headquarters in Edinburgh, is the public face of the heritage of Lloyds Banking Group. The company's extensive archive, which comprises some 4 km of records, are stored at repositories in Edinburgh and London. The bank's archive includes records of several well-known Scottish brands, including Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows. It also holds records of brands that no longer exist in their own right, such as the British Linen Bank. Only those records which are required to be permanently retained, either for business, legal or historical reasons, are maintained as part of the archive. For the bank, the archive is a hugely rich resource, which it seeks to make use of in support of the business. In the past, materials from the archive have been used to support milestone events such as company anniversaries. They are also regularly used at colleague training and orientation events, to inform and inspire staff with the history and heritage of the company. Archival material can also act as a catalyst for new marketing initiatives and advertising campaigns. As well as making use of the archive internally, the bank also seeks to make its important historical collections available to the wider community. The archive is a goldmine of information on the financial history of Scotland, and indeed the UK, and the bank makes this available to academics and other research communities under certain conditions. More recently, the heritage collections of Lloyds Banking Group have been used to develop hands-on workshops for schools at Museum on the Mound, introducing money as an interdisciplinary topic.
