From Risk Control to Risk Management in Times of Pandemic

Why Should You Attend:

Whilst the distinction between risk control and risk management might seem a subtle nuance, it results in a fallacy-driven paradigm that costs to the financial community a lot of energy and unforeseen losses, in a time when nobody needs to incur further losses.

Learning Objectives:

Driven by applications of both game theory and the practice of behavioral finance and regulation, banks have set a high priority on compliance management. Regulators, in turn, and more so after 2007, have had to accompany the trend. The pandemic has shown that the occurrence of several risks, correlated or not, can have a dramatic compounding effect. Therefore, we detail the dissimilarities between control and management, and examine what risk handling measures can best be applied in unstable times, when certainties are few and far between.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• What is risk control
• What is risk management
• How do regulators see risk control and risk management
• The unknown cost of maintaining a double risk handling system
• Where risk control will and did fail
• Risk control during and after the pandemic
• A risk handling framework
• Risk appetite, the new norms
• The costs and benefits of a complete risk management system
