The nature and sources of risk in financial services continue to change in a world that is evolving very quickly. Is this one reason why we are seeing such criticism of financial services businesses? Do established risk management models cope well with the current world?  What might be done to adapt?  What might be done to give boards and management earlier and deeper insights into risks in their business?

Plenary 2 – Regulatory Update on Risk Culture

In recent years both APRA and ASIC have increased their focus on risk culture.

APRA’s Information Paper in October 2016 describes its intention to strengthen its capacity to assess various institutions’ risk culture, and where necessary to provide supervision for those institutions that need assistance.

ASIC likewise is also very interested in governance, conduct and culture and is particularly focused on organisations that are undergoing change either through technology or from new regulations.

This regulatory update from representatives of APRA and ASIC is therefore very timely and relevant for all organisations in enhancing their ERM response plans. The session will include an update on APRA’s pilot reviews on risk culture.

While the traditional ways of modelling and capital management have been effective in the past, will they continue to be in the future? There are a number of risks which challenge old paradigms in the current environment and for the more disruptive risks, the financial and non-financial consequences can be costly if they are not managed appropriately. The focus of this session will be twofold, firstly, there are the practical considerations when capturing the changing external environment in models. Secondly, we will consider current low interest rate, the resulting changes in sources of capital and capital management.
