"The peak of regulation impacting Australia's financial services industry has
never been greater. We're looking forward to bringing together a high-level
group of key decision-makers and professionals to review the risk and regulatory
environment and the effects on financial services and businesses," said Daryl
Sisson, managing director of Thomson Reuters Financial & Risk business for
Australia and New Zealand. "Thomson Reuters remains committed to connecting this
community to ensure the sharing of industry best practices in Australia and
globally."
"The latest Thomson Reuters Conduct Risk Global Report with financial
institutions revealed that the culture and behavior dictating how firms are
conducting business has become an important priority and focus for regulators,
including Australia. Firms have boosted time and resources devoted to managing
conduct risk, yet there is still a significant gap between awareness and
implementation of effective policies across a firm. With regulatory requirements
continuing to increase in both quantity and complexity, this year's Summit can
deliver much needed industry discussion and debate," said Niall Coburn, Thomson
Reuters Regulatory Intelligence Expert for the Asia Pacific region.
According to the Conduct Risk Report 2014/15, conduct risk continues to be a
priority for regulators. Thomson Reuters second annual survey on how financial
services firms are managing conduct risk has identified it as a major concern
for firms: The survey found that "81 percent of firms remain unclear about what
conduct risk is and how to deal with it. Hence this area remains a major
challenge for firms in 2015 with significant resource dedicated to it."
Over 350 senior executives are expected to attend the Summit from key financial
regulatory bodies, exchanges, corporates, industry associations and financial
services firms including C-suite level executives and senior risk and compliance
professionals.
The 2015 Summit is supported by the CFA Institute.
