In case you missed it, it’s fraud awareness week this week. Can you spot the behavioral red flags of someone committing fraud? The Fraud Examiners have produced this nice little infographic to help. I guessed five! (link below).

Why insider threat is the biggest Cyber Risk to Financial Services organisations (https://www.globalbankingandfinance.com/why-insider-threat-presents-a-big-risk-to-financial-services-organisations/) .
A survey of 250 CISOs and CIOs in financial institutions cite insider threat, whether intentional or accidental, as the biggest cybersecurity challenge they face. At the same time, a recent ICO report confirms that misdirected email remains one of the UK’s most prominent causes of security incidents.

Corporate Credit Risk and Controls – on the 24th Nov, Fitch Ratings will discuss their qualitative and quantitative thinking on how lapses in Governance at Banks and Corporates are a major Risk when assessing ratings.

Discussion includes:

– Governance risks will become more ratings relevant in a forward looking rating framework.
– How external expertise can be incorporated (e.g. on financial crime risks) in bank rating assessments
