We strive to bring together industry leaders to share insight and build professional networks.
This is an extremely helpful event to understand where organizations are, how they align with other organizations. I made some great connections with different people and learned a lot, I have a lot to take back to my department.
I’ve enjoyed the Advanced Model Risk conference, to be able to get feedback from your peers and make you think of things you haven’t thought of. Also the networking opportunities are great, you’re meeting people with other viewpoints… and share ideas and thoughts. There’s a lot of great opportunities to network and learn.
[Fraud & Financial Crime USA] has been a wonderful event to participate in, as we are dealing with so many seasoned professionals who understand the gravity and difficulty of the challenges we are facing.
I think the most important value I derive from CeFPro conferences is to be able to benchmark what my bank is doing against the industry.
Passion and excellence
Our team is diverse and passionate, as are our partners and advisory boards that help with steering the direction.
Leveraging industry intelligence ensures we continue to strive for excellence with the industry leading our approach.
Market leading
Our extensive and ongoing market research puts us at the forefront of a range of risk topics.
This enables us to share leading market intelligence across a range of formats including event agendas, CeFPro® Connect content, iNFRont Magazine, webinars, Fintech & NFR Leaders and bespoke reports.
Regulators and shareholders expect that firms are using every tool at their disposal to assess their own independent progress and keep a watchful eye on how non-financial risk themes evolve across the industry.
I hope the report will provide a current pulse of new emerging risk themes and any areas that appear to be maturing. The challenges that industry peers are experiencing are valuable insights that we can learn from while allowing us to operate proactively instead of reactively
The significant shifts in top non financial risks over the past year and their relative priority for investment demonstrates more than ever that the rapidly changing risk landscape requires frequent oversight and response from senior leaders.
This research report is important because it has been compiled based on extensive research from experts in their field. The collective intelligence of diverse leaders gives this report gravitas and kudos that makes it an essential read.

We were delighted to partner with CeFPro, the content and line-up of speakers is first class, the topics being discussed are really pertinent to everyone within operational risk. It’s great to meet people in person, meeting existing old friends and colleagues, and new conversations with prospective clients.
An event like this is great for sounding out where we stand with operational resilience… It’s great to discuss what best practice looks like, what is the letter of the law, the spirit of the law, from that perspective it was very good to attend this event.
Listening to how other organizations work gives you food for thought… It’s really interesting and I will take away a lot from this event.
I found [Operational Risk Management USA] to be exceptional, the topics, the experience of the speakers, the interaction with the audience, I have a lot of great examples to bring back to my own firm that can hopefully help us manage risk better.
I’ve been to this conference several times and what I’ve always liked is the size of the conference… It’s smaller in size and as a result, my communication and interaction with my peers are more which is something that I like… There’s a lot of interaction within the sessions, a lot of takeaways.
I came away from [Operational Risk Management USA] with some new and different ways to think about operational resiliency and how to properly account for and manage non-financial risks in an ever changing monitoring and control environment.
It was a great series of discussions. I was very happy that I had the opportunity to participate.
Great conference with a variety of operational risk topics. Learned a lot and exchanged some valuable ideas.
