Operational Risk Management: Empowering Strategic Decision Making and Oversight

As has been evident from the global financial crisis, successful risk management stands or falls with good governance and the right culture within an organisation. The outcomes of decisions, especially in the long-term, are by definition uncertain and necessitate a careful and balanced decision-making process as the basis for making future-proofed choices. Join our webcast with Northern Trust in exploring how Operational Due Diligence (ODD) and Operational Risk Management (ORM) play an essential part in a pension fund’s risk management strategy – from the decision making process when appointing a third party asset manager through to continued monitoring of outsourced services. The webcast will cover: • An integrated risk management framework and the management of non-financial risk • Key trends and industry best practices - including insights from the Netherlands where the Pension Act obliges Dutch pension funds to conduct and demonstrate controlled and ethical business operations • How ORM and ODD help from the outset and throughout a period of outsourcing Presented by: Frans Hofkens, Client Executive, Institutional Investor Group, Netherlands, Northern Trust Vincent Molino, Head of Operational Risk Management Solutions, Northern Trust Front Office Solutions Moderated by: Brendan Maton, IPE
