Fluree invites you to their event

Bridging the Data Gap Between Finance and Risk featuring Peter Serenita

About this event

In today's banking landscape, data sharing between finance and risk departments has become a crucial need to mitigate risk and a regulatory expectation. This has come into even more focus with the recent regional banking failures. However, the reality is that Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks likely have silos between these two functions, which results in different views, requirements, and terminologies, making it challenging to access and utilize common data. How can banks prepare their data strategy to prepare risk departments for compliance reporting without hindering the effectiveness and agility of financial operations?

Peter Serenita, Chair of the Enterprise Data Management Council and former CDO of Scotia Bank will join Eliud Polanco, President of Fluree to discuss a path forward for banking institutions looking to share data more effectively across Finance and Risk functions.

We will discuss the importance of creating a common and unified golden system of records that are accurate, up-to-date, secure, and accessible to all stakeholders to service risk, finance, operations and analytical functions. We will examine the challenges associated with common data sourcing, including the differences in data views, terminologies, and sources across finance and risk. We will also provide a blueprint for "data-centric transformation" that starts with "defensive" data strategies that mitigate risk by unifying data and then eventually build towards an "offensive" data strategy that enables greater competitive analytics.

The webinar will be valuable for professionals working in finance and risk departments, as well as for those responsible for data management and reporting within banks. Attendees will learn best practices and strategies for building common repositories, bridging data gaps, and achieving compliance standards.
