 New insight into State Bank collapse
THE financial collapse of South Australia's State Bank in 1991 was primarily caused by the bank turning its back on its community-based roots rather than poor handling by the then Labor State Government, according to the most comprehensive book on the State Bank disaster ever written.
Both banks, established in the 1800s, had their roots firmly planted in community service and put profit making as a secondary objective, Dr McCarthy says.
Following their merger, and with the changes in global culture and the deregulation of the banking market in the 1980s, the old model was jettisoned for one based on 'doing the deal'.

At the end of the 1980s, in South Australia, the State Bank collapsed, leaving debts which in some estimations amount to four billion Australian dollars.
The paper explores, in particular, the use, by the judging and the judged, of the metaphor of "painting pictures" to describe financial reporting.
