Risk management has always been core to what we do. However, in today’s environment of economic and financial uncertainty, new regulation and emerging lessons from the financial crisis, risk management has been elevated to a new level of importance and urgency as the financial services industry looks at risk and capital in new ways. New responsibilities have emerged for actuaries, risk managers, senior management, board members and others.
The “ERM: Insights for Insurers” conference will provide attendees with insights into recent developments in risk management and explore their relevance to insurers. Our speakers – all risk management experts - will explore risk management topics in detail, taking the current economic and supervisory environment into account.
