Doing More With Less - How to Limit Exposure for Your Institution

As the financial services industry re-establishes itself following the worst crisis for decades, the pressure is on for all banks to limit their budgets while increasing efficiency. Litigators, regulators, CFOs and Boards aren't lowering their expectations or demands - so how can insurance risk managers anticipate exposures, optimize risk transfer, maximize spending, and improve efficiency?

ABA's Insurance Risk Management Forum offers a comprehensive educational program that will arm you with the tools to efficiently manage insurance risk in today's demanding climate.

The intensive three-day program includes:

• Lessons learned from recent securities claims, contract claims, borrower class actions, employee class actions, bankruptcy-related, and other legal actions that have increased in scope and size.
   
• Extended face time with industry experts and financial services and insurance executives to help identify new ways to deal with multiple pain points, such as market volatility, mortgage market meltdown/foreclosures, bankruptcies, nonperforming loans, capital contraction, higher litigation and insurance costs, new institutional risk profiles/pricing, stability of insurance carriers and emerging cyber risks.
   
• Interactive sessions that provide benchmarking and immediate answers to your most pressing questions Gain new information, skills, best practices that will let you prove value to your bank at time where insurance risk management is key.
