Meet the Risk Management Specialist Webcast
Bangor Business School's Executive Education hosted an interactive webcast, ‘Meet the Financial Intelligence Specialist - 21st Century Risk Management in the Financial Services Sector’ on the 12th December 2023.
Hosted by Stephen Jones, Director of Executive Education at Bangor Business School and joined by guest speaker Hanna Sarraf, Senior Risk Executive.
This webcast explored how governments, regulators & individual financial services firms are seeking to assess & manage risk. The 2007/8 Global Financial Crisis demonstrated the potential for risk to spread rapidly between different stakeholders in the financial ecosystem, both within individual countries but also around the World. Since that time, it could be argued that the potential for risk has increased due to new financial products (e.g. cryptocurrencies) & new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence).
