Key Takeaways:

  • Best Practice ERM will include a framework integrated with the strategic objectives of the Financial Institution
  • Continuous monitoring of enterprise-wide risks is essential for a bank to maximize its value
  • Technology will be key to better manage risk since banks are able to more easily aggregate data, standardize calculations and scale, and provide a more efficient top-down view of a banks' risk profile and appetite
  • Data and technology alone won't ensure success. Employee buy-in, training, and hiring the right talent is key.
