Agenda
Registration is at 7.30am (with refreshments)
Forum will run from 8.00am to 10.30am sharp (with a coffee break at 9am). Please feel free to join the Forum at the 9am break if that time is more suitable for you.
The topics for this session are as follows:-
Ø Risk Reporting – Discussion introduced by Liam O’Keeffe
Ø Conduct Risk – Facilitated Peer Debate
Ø Any Other Business – Opportunity to discuss your questions
Effective communication of risk, from exposures to appetites to the effectiveness of risk management, is of key importance to the CRO. Our first agenda item will be introduced by Liam O’Keeffe, CRO of Canada Life Europe. Liam will share some thoughts and experiences on the current risk reporting landscape, and how this is changing over time as the needs of various stakeholders continue to evolve. He will then open the discussion to views from the floor. Over the course of the discussion, we will explore best practice in this area and emerging trends.
The concept of conduct risk has developed relatively quickly over the past number of years and various regulators have launched initiatives requiring that companies consider and address conduct risk. However, regulators generally prefer not to define conduct risk and this can lead to some confusion. This session will discuss the concept of conduct risk, regulatory requirements in this regard and how different companies address the issue.
The third item on the agenda is a new initiative. We intend to leave some time at the end of the briefing to discuss topics that any of the CROs present wish to raise and discuss. This is intended to ensure that CROs have the opportunity to raise developing issues where some quick feedback from peers would be welcomed. We would invite CROs to submit topics in advance of the meeting. However, please feel free to simply raise them on the day of the meeting itself.
The CRO Forum is designed to be a high-level discussion group exclusively formed and attended by Chief Risk Officers of Insurance Ireland Member and Associate Member companies. The purpose of the series is to engender debate and discussion, facilitating peer learning, network building and the sharing of experience and knowledge in this community.
The nature of future events falling under this series will be informed by your inputs and feedback, to ensure the series continually delivers value to the network it is designed to engage.
