Given the current regulatory environment and the resulting changes going on in the industry today, the chief risk officer has become the most important person in the financial institution.

Adopting a Top-Down Approach to Model Risk Governance to Optimize Digital Tra...Jacob Kosoff
Model risk management programs often began their journey by first creating a definition of a model. Then model risk groups would perform model risk activities on each item that met the definition of a model. These model risk activities include classifying risk, assessing current uses, evaluating ongoing monitoring results, validating conceptual soundness, testing model changes, and so forth. This approach was an important beginning for the field of model risk management as it helped identify existing models, discover fundamental errors in existing models, and prevent inappropriate use of models. However, model risk teams often focused only on processes that already include models and did not identify processes that would be significantly improved by using models. This results in model risk teams overlooking modeling capabilities that a process truly needs. However, model risk teams can go on the offensive and use their model inventory as a source of crucial business intelligence. Model risk teams can start to identify processes that do not include models and could recommend the use of existing models to improve those processes. Furthermore, model risk teams can reduce expenses at a bank by guarding against the development or purchase of models with redundant capabilities. Model risk management teams can ultimately be a champion for the extensibility and efficient use of models at an institution. The article was written by Jacob Kosoff, Aaron Bridgers, and Henry Lee. The article was published by the RMA Journal in September 2020.

Setting Conduct Risk Appetite. Assessing risk and identifying cultural driver...Compliance Consultant
Conduct Risk is sweeping the financial services world and catching many risk manager out as there is still a lack of understanding.
Risk management need to determine the corporate risk philosophy and appetite. To assess or understand the risk philosophy, try to comprehend the organisation's culture, values and environment. The way business operations are conducted on a daily basis and the organisation’s strategy are typically good indicators where you can find the company risk philosophy. Assess whether business has an aggressive, innovative, typical or conservative attitude towards risks for achieving business goals.
Risk appetite is simply the amount of risk which the organisation is willing to take to undertake business activities and achieve the business objectives, where Conduct Risk is concerned this has to include good customer outcomes. A simple question to ask the board of members could be “What amount of reported mismanagement or public uproar would make you uncomfortable if it appeared in the business newspapers?”
Consolidate the various risk exposures from the risk department's identified risks and present them to the board. Finally, assess whether the company’s internal perception and rhetoric on risk philosophy and appetite are consistent with the board and other stakeholder's viewpoints. Realign the two where required to prepare the annual strategy.

Feb 19th 2014 "Enabling Effective Conduct Risk"
Webinar 10:00-11:00 GMT
Focusing on the FCA and the Conduct Risk agenda, in this webinar, "Enabling Effective Conduct Risk", StratexSystems will demonstrate how firms can effectively manage conduct risk by taking an integrated approach to strategy and risk management, and how the StratexPoint solution can support firms as they seek to meet the challenges of conduct risk and engage effectively with the new regulator around this agenda.
During the webinar, StratexSystems will outline:
‘The Seven Key Challenges of Conduct Risk Management’;
Managing and embedding Governance into the business
Definition and embedding the Business Model
Definition and execution of the Business Strategy with customers at its heart
Enabling & embedding Conduct Risk specific processes
Process Management, and specifically New Product Development
Product level performance and risk management
Conduct incident reporting and analysis
StratexSystems will demonstrate during the webinar that Enabling Effective Conduct Risk Management is not about throwing everything that one currently does away and starting afresh but rather building on existing strategy execution and risk management processes and tools.
Additionally, during the webinar we will demonstrate that if firms approach Conduct Risk from the right perspective, they can generate significant value, beyond simply satisfying a regulatory compliance demand.

Future-Proof Your Risk Management & Compliance with Graph TechnologyNeo4j
In the aftermath of the Lehman crisis of 2008, financial services firms face a number of new regulations and risk management challenges.
One key regulation is the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), which is part of the upcoming Basel IV set of reforms. The new regulations require banks to reserve sufficient capital to maintain solvency through market downturns and avoid the need for government bailouts.
However, in this challenge lies an opportunity: Banks are using FRTB mandates in order to build a firm foundation for future risk management and compliance applications that lower development and staffing expenses, optimize reserve ratios, maximize available capital and drive investment profits.
The burgeoning onshore wealth management industry has its own unique set of challenges and positioning but it is becoming increasingly attractive for banks with the rising wealth of Asian consumers.
Since many of these domestic banks are still in an investment mode, cost-to-income ratios in the industry are steadily increasing. Intensifying competition from domestic and foreign players over more careful and knowledgeable clients and the recent increase of regulatory requirements and administrative work present real challenges in scaling up.
Questions will thus arise - how can onshore wealth managers scale up their business effectively and efficiently without incurring the significant costs of their more mature peers? Which operational investment should be given priority within a finite budget – back-office, front-end, staffing or product manufacturing?
These issues and more will be discussed in the webinar on Scaling Up Your Wealth Management Business organized by Private Banker International and Sopra Banking Software based on research that has taken place around the region and globally.

Harnessing Big Data, Analytics and Intelligence for Superior Returns
Welcome
Dear Business Colleague:
In such a volatile global economy, today’s business leaders must be prepared to reshape
and refocus their strategic and tactical priorities with lightening-speed and decisiveness.
Rapid decision making and priority shifting requires more than simply fine-tuned intuition;
it requires data and information that is available, assessable and translatable. This is why
business analytics - using data, statistical and quantitative analysis, explanatory and predictive
models - has moved into center-stage.
However, many questions still surround business analytics. What exactly does it mean to
become an analytical organization? How can it improve a company’s effectiveness and
improve its competitive positioning? What steps are necessary to become an analytics
orientated organization? How can company leaders create, champion and sustain an
analytics vision?
Clearly, there are questions that need to be answered and a learning curve that needs
to be addressed when a company decides to move from intuition-based decision making
to a fact-based decision making environment. With all of this in mind, GSMI is pleased
to present: Business Analytics Strategies Summit - Harnessing Big Data, Analytics and
Intelligence for Superior Returns in Orlando, Florida on September 17-19, 2013. With
a case-study focused agenda, two in-depth workshops and four informational tracks,
GSMI’s Business Analytics Summit will provide attendees with an opportunity to hear from
industry experts and colleagues, on key topics such as:
•
•
•
•
•
Initial Steps to Becoming an Analytical Organization
Assessable Data Visualization
Social Media and Analytics
Driving Decision-Making with Data
Analytics Talent Acquisition
Benefits of Attending:
Join us to take part in the most case-study oriented business analytics program available
on the market and take away new insight and information on successfully implementing an
organization-wide business analytics program and vision.
• Gain real-time customer insights from
analyzing social media data
I look forward to greeting you in Orlando this September.

Sincerely;
