The future of GRC in Financial Services: From compliance overload to strategic resilience
Financial services organizations are drowning in a sea of compliance mandates: new regulations, updated expectations, expanding audit requirements, and relentless scrutiny from regulators and stakeholders alike. But is compliance the destination, or merely the starting point?
In this session, we move beyond checkbox compliance to explore how financial institutions can reframe GRC as a strategic enabler of resilience, trust, and performance. Join internationally recognized GRC authority Michael Rasmussen as he dives into how financial services firms can evolve from reactive control functions to proactive, orchestrated ecosystems of governance, risk, and compliance.
We will challenge conventional thinking and spotlight how GRC 7.0 is redefining the future of GRC in banking, insurance, asset management, and beyond.
This is not about doing more compliance. It’s about doing smart GRC that aligns with business objectives, adapts to uncertainty, and strengthens the organization’s ability to navigate the unknown.
