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.

Key highlights from the 2023 Congress

  • REGULATION:
    Managing regulatory requirements to manage disparities in an everchanging landscape
  • LINES OF DEFENCE:
    Coordinating risk silos across the three lines of defences whilst increasing collaboration for full risk oversight
  • CYBERSECURITY:
    Managing evolution of cybersecurity and developing defence strategies to mitigate risk
  • THIRD PARTY RISK:
    Controlling and managing third party risk to manage risk exposure
  • RCSA:
    Developing tangible outcomes by leveraging benefits of RCSA beyond a tick box exercise
  • RESILIENCE:
    The implementation of an overarching resilience framework to capture all risks
  • FINANCIAL CRIME:
