Background:

Financial intermediaries are facing an increasingly complex risk landscape due to various factors including geopolitical, volatile market conditions, mounting compliance and technological changes and digitalization. Risk Management in banks and financial institutions have seen repeated failures despite adoption of sophisticated approaches for risk management, increasing regulatory oversight and with intensive use of technology.  Assurance functions including risk management, compliance and audit play a very crucial role in ensuring that the regulated entity operates soundly, safely, ethically and within the legal and regulatory boundaries. Risk Management in any institution becomes more effective, when a risk culture and governance is embedded in the risk management framework. Today’s risk leaders need to align the risk strategy to the growth strategy and enhance overall trust and resilience. Accordingly, at the leadership level in Banks and other financial institutions there is an imperative need to understand the importance of a robust modern risk function for the institution’s health and future.
