28 & 29 September, Singapore
'The biggest beneficiaries of the crisis will be in Asia, with Asian capitals poised to take on the established international financial centers of Frankfurt, London and New York in the years to come', writes senior executive of one of the world's leading banks. Following the greatest financial meltdown post the Great Depression, Operational Excellence and proper risk management in financial institutions has been identified as the key strength to overcoming the dynamic challenges of today’s economic environment.With the current economic crisis, financial institutions across the world are adopting preventive measures to reduce the risk factor in their business. Now more than ever, organisations need to define their risk profile, implement strategies to anticipate threats and address uncertainties in a timely fashion before challenges explode and disrupt the business operations. The operating environment for Asia Pacific financial institutions is becoming increasingly competitive and complex. A necessary response is for institutions to upgrade their risk management and business operational excellence in line with internationally-accepted practices, and many have already embarked on ambitious projects to enhance their risk management in multiple areas.
Fleming Gulf presents OPEX – RISK 2010 (ASIA) in Singapore on 28th & 29th September 2010, bringing together regional regulators and senior decision makers from Asian and international banks. The forum will elicit discussion on regional policies, distinct market challenges and strategies to achieving operational excellence and build proper risk management frameworks amidst change and growth. The two day conference will enhance the knowledge quotient from all perspectives – regulators, leaders and implementers.
