Why should you attend?

Over the years, the understanding of operational risk – of people, processes, and systems – has altered and adapted to the changing times and climate. A more contemporary view is for professionals to view this as non-financial and operational risks, which better outlines the aspects that are not specifically financial risk.

The ever-changing role and responsibility of the risk professional, especially during the challenging and unprecedented times, requires new thinking, stringent processes, and greater understanding of the diversity of systems. CeFPro’s Non-Financial and Operational Risk Congress provides a clear path on the current challenges, and future path and opportunities.

By registering for this Congress, you will also gain access to our Climate Risk USA Congress which will be held at the same venue.
