These programs will feature industry executives who have established effective risk management
systems in their institutions and leading consultants in the risk management field. A top
regulatory official will address the group. Topics are subject to change.
The unique aspect of these seminars is emphasis on the risk management process itself in
establishing a systematic approach to bank-wide risk management. Strategies include
monitoring, controlling and reporting risk through appropriate levels of management to the board
of directors. In order to have maximum impact on bank policies, it is suggested that attendance
be limited to chief executive officers, directors, chief operating officers, chief financial officers
and other bank-wide executive level officers of bank and thrift institutions. Outside directors
are encouraged to attend.
The attached application form should be submitted for registration. A photo copy of the
application form may be used for additional applicants. Applications must be accompanied by
a check payable to the FFIEC in the amount of $350, which includes two continental breakfasts
and one luncheon. Accepted applicants will be given additional information regarding direct
