Financial insight and training from Euromoney and Euromoney Learning.

In this webinar we will demonstrate the biggest single mistake made by most banks around the world when managing their risks. Despite the billions spent on risk management frameworks, staff, tools and technology, regulators are witnessing serious failures by banks of all types and sizes around the world. Regulators are now calling for banks to improve their risk management or face significant capital addons. However, how can risk management professionals fix frameworks when they don't acknowledge the fundamental problem? Attendees will have the opportunity to experience a live demonstration of this mistake, and gain an appreciation of what is required to address it. All banks think their own risk management frameworks are good enough, and yet all banks continually fail this simple test.

Takeaways:
- Understand the facts & figures relating to the failures of risk management
- Learn why most banks fail (i.e. collapse or suffer the largest losses)
- Understand the common mistake which causes these failures
- Understand how to address this issue

Taster Session: The Role of ESG in Infrastructure and Project Finance

Please join us on Thursday, July 7th at 2:00pm Singapore time for this hour-long live webinar.

Some key points our expert panelists will address:
-Why should APAC acquirers and sellers care about ESG factors in dealmaking?
-What are the key ESG factors acquirers need to be aware of when executing deals?
-Precisely how are ESG factors impacting M&A in specific APAC countries and sectors?  
-To what extent are ESG factors changing the nature of transactions in APAC?
-How are ESG considerations impacting due diligence in APAC?
-How is technology helping dealmakers navigate ESG requirements in M&A?  

The importance of environmental, social, and governance factors in M&A has been rising across all markets globally during the past few years, boosted by the impact of the pandemic and war in Ukraine most recently. Yet, while ESG is seen as unilaterally important in dealmaking, the levels of importance and how that is demonstrated vary across regions. In some respects, Asia-Pacific dealmakers are leading their global peers.

Off the back of a record year for APAC M&A, we will take a deep dive into the fast-evolving and important area of ESG, analyzing the extent to which it is driving and transforming dealmaking in the region, which sectors are being impacted most, and what role technology is playing from diligence to execution.

M&A Deal Momentum: The influence of ESG on APAC dealmaking

LME Warehousing and Delivery

Rapid and widespread digital adoption by banking customers, and accelerated digitalisation across financial services in response to Covid-19, have expanded the opportunity for fraud, with criminals exploiting gaps between digital solutions, banking systems and customers. Chief among them, money laundering, has grown rapidly as regulation and bank processes fail to keep pace with the rise in criminal innovation.

In fact, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance breaches in the first six months of 2020 outstripped the total for 2019, with fines during that six-month period 40% higher than for the whole of 2019. While fines may be small relative to industry revenues, the damage caused to customer trust and business disruption are considerable and opportunities to leverage operational efficiencies from automated compliance processes are overlooked. 

Join Banking Circle and an expert panel who will challenge some traditional assumptions around cleaning up the business of AML:  
•	Is complying with regulatory rules enough?
•	Should the responsibility for AML be limited to the compliance team?
•	Which essentials should be part of your AML arsenal for the future?
•	What is the role of AML in the broader context of digital transformation?
•	Can combating digital crime be designed to complement, not conflict with, banking business lines?

Panellists:
•	Dr Louise Beaumont, Chair, Open Banking and Payments, techUK (moderator)
•	Livia Benisty, Global Head of Business AML, Banking Circle
•	Dave Burns, Chief Revenue Officer, Napier AI
•	Chris Caruana, VP of AML Solutions, Feedzai
•	Jane Jee, CEO, Kompli-Global

Better by design? Re-thinking AML in a digital age
