WEBINAR DETAILS 

Financial institutions provide great value to the American economy.  But that value comes with risks. Strategic-minded institutions do not strive to eliminate risk or even to minimize it – they strive to manage risk enterprise-wide so that just enough of the right kind of risk is incurred to effectively pursue their strategic goals.  This is referred to as “optimal risk-taking.”  This webinar will explore the characteristics of strong risk assessments so participants can address key areas in their own institutions.  The presenter will share her experience in developing an enterprise-wide process and explain how to conduct risk assessments in a pragmatic, easy-to-understand way.  Practical tools and examples will be provided that can be implemented immediately.  Learn how to strengthen your existing risk assessments and create new ones for other areas as needed.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
