Course description
Emerging Compliance Risks in Investment Banking
Financial institutions find themselves to be continually exposed to a variety of global compliance and operational risks, all of which are driven by the economic, geopolitical, technological, socio-political and environmental realms in which they operate. These rapidly changing risks must be managed in order to mitigate the threats to a firm’s performance. Having the tools and capabilities to be prepared and respond appropriately to new developments from these evolving and changing dimensions is crucial for all financial services firms.
The impact of the 2007-2010 global financial crisis created a range of systemic attributes that subsequently has led to new regulatory initiatives which global financial service firms are now racing to meet. At the same time, these firms continue to be exposed to new trends and risks that still have to be managed under an enterprise risk management (ERM) framework. This 2 day course is designed to be a deep dive into regulatory changes, the evolving risk landscape in financial services, supplemented with hands on controls and functions to mitigates threats to day to day business activities.
