Special Compliance & Risk Breakfast Briefing

Whoops – 2 billion! How not to be next…

This special Chase Cooper Compliance & Risk Breakfast briefing is to be held at Chase Cooper’s offices in Finsbury Square from 8.30 a.m. on Thursday 6th October 2011.

The scale of Kweku Adeboli’s rogue trading loss at UBS is difficult to comprehend in the light of the apparent similarities to SocGen’s problems with Jerome Kerviel three years ago. Following the SocGen problem, investment banks reviewed and strengthened trading room controls, so how can it have happened again?

We look at practical issues: why we shouldn’t take so much comfort from processes that are working, why and how we should aggregate indicators from different functions to get the whole picture, and how to work out what could go wrong so that we can the see if it has, or could.

This briefing will be provided by Nick Gibson, Director of our Compliance Solutions division and Tony Blunden, Director of Consultancy. Tony and Nick between them have over 65 years’ experience within the City, focused around regulation, risk management and compliance, and brief resumés can be found here.

As space is limited, the briefing is open to senior compliance, business and risk staff working in FSA authorised firms.
