WEBINAR DETAILS
Many financial institutions focus solely on regulatory compliance in board reports. But a board report missing key details can become a major liability if legal action is taken against the security officer, risk manager, management, or board members. The information regulators review is vastly different from what would be scrutinized in court.
Attendees will gain essential insights into structuring an effective report, presenting it with confidence, and ensuring it includes critical details to protect the institution. Security officers will also receive valuable resources with statistics, facts, and strategies to help reduce liability. Don’t wait until an incident occurs! Learn how to make your security report a true asset in both compliance and risk management.
