Panel: From surviving to thriving: organizational resilience and why bouncing back is not enough
09:45 - 10:30
Like most people, operational risk managers will be glad to see the back of Covid-19. Unlike most, their concerns show few signs of easing. The pandemic has paved the way for several new sources of operational risks – opportunistic cyberattacks, creative money laundering and increased possibilities for internal fraud – and they’re not going away, even when the world slowly goes back to normal. How has the pandemic changed the future of operational risk? How will it change the distribution of risk going forward and how can we prepare for what lies ahead?

Panel: Gear up your conduct risk framework!
10:45 - 11:30
The stakes have never been higher when it comes to conduct risk. Regulators now look to hold senior managers personally liable for the misconduct of their employees, and with teams more globally dispersed, managing conduct and culture is more challenging than ever before. In this session, we will look at how we can develop frameworks, processes and controls to address conduct risk within remote and hybrid working environments.
