Overview
Course Description:
Today’s compliance professionals are facing an era of dynamic and rapid regulatory change. New regulatory leadership and initiatives are changing securities regulation in fundamental ways. More demanding regulatory inspections and growing expectations (such as social media and cloud computing) are straining compliance resources. Now, more than ever, the periodic identification and assessment of both compliance and operations risk is fundamental to the compliance discipline and essential for an investment adviser to understand its mitigation needs and resource allocation requirements. Accordingly, compliance officers must increasingly place a premium on risk intelligence skills, and seek to cultivate this aptitude within the organization.
A lively discussion among a panel of compliance professionals from firms of many sizes will raise current risk issues of concern to many compliance professionals.
