4:30-6:00PM Transparency: Making Operational Risk Work
In light of the ongoing turmoil in markets over the past 18 months, we will examine the evolution of what Transparency means in capital markets and the pragmatic implications for practitioners. We will highlight recent activities, analyses, and comments from Regulators, discuss the operational implications, and try to delineate how these fit into the big picture. A special focus will be on how we "dig our way out" as an industry.
