Description: Let’s be honest: most risk programs are either too vague, too bloated, or too disconnected from reality. And in high-risk sectors like fintech, payments, and digital banking, that’s not just inefficient — it’s dangerous. This session is for professionals who are tired of check-the-box risk management and want to build something that actually works.
Led by Branan Cooper, a seasoned compliance and risk executive, this training breaks down how to design risk frameworks that are lean, smart, and regulator-ready. You’ll learn how to spot weak links, avoid overengineering, and align risk oversight with your business goals — all through real-world examples and practical strategies. Plus, we’ll explore how artificial intelligence can help streamline risk monitoring, surface hidden threats, and reduce manual oversight fatigue.
Who This Is Designed For: Risk officers, compliance leaders, internal auditors, and executives at fintechs, MSBs, and community banks who want to strengthen their risk frameworks and avoid fragmented or ineffective oversight practices — with or without AI tools
