despite strong systems and processes and robust risk mitigation tools,strong institutions like Barrings, Lehman or even Satyam fell prey to only one factor- that is the human greed, which is the root cause of the vicious circle leading to sub-prime  crisis and ultimate fall of many leading banks, one of them being the century old Lehman.

Hi Ketki

To certain extent I agree that it is human greed that leads to the downfall but it is not the only reason.There can be many reasons for this.I will give you an example.Suppose We have a MNC dealing the HQ office of a Bank.At times a deal will have to be done because of the pressure from HQ because of the relationship issue.Also a bank growing too fast at an abnormal rate faces more chances of defaults.At times,loans are sanctioned even after credit declines the case.This is explained later citing the reason as it was a business call the bank took.

Yes Mr.Vikas Bhatnagar and thanks for the referral. There are other reasons like bad debts which can not be recovered. In this case the bank employee himself is involving in creating fictitious  accounts on somebody with personal motive and the funds are transferred to that account and finally the money has become unpaid to the bank. Another case will be of misusing the reserved fund for a particular head[ sometimes bank creates some secret reserve funds to meet the contingencies] and this may be diverted to something else by the banks for others reasons known to the bank, which may be locked there that takes much more times to recover[ not able to mobilize the funds faster]

Ketki what you said may be true for some extent but there are many other reason which makes a man greedy. So it is not he human greed but the factors that make a man greed. And I don't think that is the reason for the fall of banks....

Thanks.....
