Overview
The management of operational risk is a critical compliance issue for all banks and financial institutions in all jurisdictions worldwide.
The Bank of International Settlements defines operational risk as the 'risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events'.
These four factors; internal processes, people, systems or external events are exceptionally wide-ranging and cover virtually every element of the operations of banks and financial institutions outside of the credit and liquidity aspects. The effective management of all of these operational risks is a basic part of every financial institution's risk management and compliance programs.
Why you should Attend
As a new financial operational process, the Blockchain has a lot of promise for dozens of trade and finance processes.
The problem is that what the Blockchain is and what it can be used for is shrouded in acronyms, misunderstandings and even misinformation.
This webinar will offer a clear and unbiased view of what the blockchain is, how it works and what it can be used for.
