Fusion roundtable at Oprisk North America

Roundtable - Demystifying regulations and translating risk & resilience into the language of your business

Wednesday, October 21 | 10:00am EST

Over the past 18 months, new guidance has emerged from the Bank of England, the Basel Committee, and the Institute of Internal Auditors to help banking and financial services firms drive greater operational resilience within their organizations. That said, many still find that resilience terms ring surprisingly hollow when working with their executive leadership. Building a resilient firm requires a common language, synthesizing these differing viewpoints from regulators.

This roundtable demystifies the varying guidance for resilience and discusses how risk managers are making their programs actionable. It will also present the findings gathering from previous executive roundtable discussions and discuss how the various lines of defence can improve their impact by modifying their message to their executive leadership.

Our roundtable hosts include:
