OpRisk USA 2004

Incisive Media is reporting that there has been unprecedented interest in Risk magazine's annual operational risk conference, Oprisk USA 2004, being held in New York on 30th and 31st March. The conference examines the sophisticated operational risk management frameworks that organisations are having to adopt and implement in order to keep up with the increasing complexity of today's business environment and the ever more challenging regulatory demands.

Suzanne Labarge, vice chairman and chief risk officer at RBC Financial Group, and Roger Cole, senior associate director of the Federal Reserve Board, will be giving the audience the benefit of their vast experience as keynote speakers at this year's event. A strong theme running through the conference will be the link between corporate governance and effective operational risk management, and how good corporate governance, both internal and external, can actually reduce operational risk.

Regulatory issues and Basel II will be examined at the conference by high level practitioners and academics, including Jay Newberry, head of operational risk at Citigroup, Michael Ong, professor at Illinois Institute of Technology and Kevin Bailey, Deputy Comptroller, OCC.
