We are going through unprecedented times, where the fundamental definition of capitalism is being questioned and the regulatory structures in which our financial institutions operate are being redrawn completely. The governments and regulatory bodies of the United States and European nations, who are undergoing the biggest economic havoc due to the excesses of their financial institutions, are exploring optimum economic, risk and compliance structures along with values that will define capitalism for the future years and decades to come.

FSOkx’s forum on Risk Management and Compliance will examine how the systemic global failure of financial institutions and the pressures to contain and manage risk are changing the financial industry and forcing it for transformation. The Financial Services Industry Risk Management and Compliance Annual Forum 2009 will focus on the global regulations, new paradigms of risk management, global changes in compliance and their regional impacts, transformations resulting from the biggest economic crisis of recent times, and enterprise case studies in the financial services risk management and compliance domain.

The forum incorporates specific subject areas:

* Executive viewpoints on risk management and compliance for the financial industry for future years and decades to come
* The role of regulatory bodies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, in driving transparency, accountability and timely disclosure among the market participants to avoid the failures of the past
* Analysis and forecast of new regulations in the financial services industry for large, medium and small institutions based on recent successes, failures, and trends in the global industry
* The role of technologies, such as XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) and SaaS (Software as a Service), in maintaining compliance and transparency
* The new regulatory, compliance, and risk management requirements will have a major impact on the cost of doing business. How will firms manage the cost, what are the best practices in cost management of implementing such procedures, and will such measures impact the competitiveness of a firm.
* Opportunities for 3rd party risk and compliance services vendors, given the current constrained economic conditions. Risks and opportunities in such a relationship from the clients’ perspective. Selection criteria for choosing the right vendor.
* Impact of risk and compliance requirements on the partners/suppliers of a firm
* IT security, data security, and privacy issues – managing information systems to optimize performance and compliance concerns
* Banking secrecy and the conflict with compliance, security, and money-laundering concerns
* How risk management will drive compensation structures for the work force in the financial services industry
* Discussion of transformations, innovations, risks, and challenges of achieving growth in an era which will be marked with increased regulations, tighter limitations on risk exposures and lower leverage of balance sheets
* Future role of synthetic and structured products such as, credit-derivative obligations and credit-default swaps, in the economic fabric of the financial services institutions and countries
* Best practices at an enterprise level to manage risks and compliance, coordination, processes, tools, and techniques
* Panel discussions featuring industry leaders and practitioners debating the future of risk and compliance in the industry
* Legal perspectives to address domestic and international legislative and regulatory requirements vis-à-vis on-going dynamic changes
