Strengthening Organizational Resiliency to Deflect Fraud-Related Risks

Bill Fox
Senior Risk Advisor for Financial Crimes
Bank of America
Charlotte, NC

Unfortunately, in today’s global business environment “bad actors” exist who may infiltrate an organization’s business through unethical, fraudulent, or sanctioned activities. Organizations can face significant reputational harm and regulatory or legal ramifications if they fail to consider and mitigate the complex web of fraud exposures. In this session, Bill will share insights from his experiences from leading Bank of America’s global financial crimes risk program that is focused on the mitigation of compliance and operational risks associated with the implementation of laws and regulations related to anti-money laundering, fraud, and economic sanctions. He will provide a look into the realities of the hard-to-detect fraudulent activities that may impact an organization, and he will highlight the challenges of ensuring compliance with emerging regulations to prevent those activities, such as sanctions imposed in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Enhancing Organizational Resilience with ERM

Coral Gottlieb
Director, Business Resilience and Safety
Levi Strauss & Co.
San Francisco, CA

Uncertainties abound in the global business environment often triggering unexpected risk events that threaten an organization’s operations and achievement of its strategic objectives. In light of that reality, strengthening an organization’s resiliency makes good business sense as it enhances the organization’s agility when navigating sudden shocks. In this session, Coral will provide an overview of how the focus on enhancing organizational resiliency helps frame the work of ERM at Levi Strauss. She will share insights about the work they are doing to strengthen the company’s nimbleness in dealing with unexpected events that may be on the horizon and provide perspectives as to how that strengthens the value of an organization’s ERM efforts.

Enhancing Board Communications about Risks

Yogi Verma
Senior Vice President – Enterprise Risk Management
PRA Group, Inc.
Norfolk, VA

Communicating information about risks to an organization’s board of directors can be challenging as management tries to balance providing sufficient details about risks while at the same time helping highlight overarching insights about how those risks might be interrelated and how they impact the organization’s strategic objectives. Management teams sometimes struggle finding the right methods that are most effective in communicating complex risk issues to the board to support its risk governance. Yogi will share insights about how management at PRA Group is leveraging the benefits of visualization tools to help share key risk insights with their board and other key stakeholders. He will also highlight challenges and opportunities for risk leaders to simplify and amplify their impact.

Navigating the Complex Web of Geopolitical Risks

Mike Pfister
Head of Development Center
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Geneva, Switzerland

Established in 1863, the ICRC operates worldwide, helping people affected by conflict and armed violence and promoting the laws that protect victims of war. An independent and neutral organization, its mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949. It is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and employs over 21,000 people in more than 100 countries. The ICRC is funded mainly by voluntary donations from governments and from National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. International Committee of the Red Cross (icrc.org). The ICRC responds to humanitarian crises across the globe, in situations involving extreme risk. Given the nature of the work they do, the ICRC must navigate the very complex challenges of assessing and responding to dynamically changing geopolitical risks. Mike will share insights about how the ICRC partners with development actors, including international financial institutions, to work in some of the riskiest parts of the world and how they must navigate different emerging geopolitical risks to be able to deliver impact for the most vulnerable.

Benefits of Integrating ERM and Sustainability

Chris Turpin
ERM & Insurance Manager
British American Tobacco (BAT) Company
London, England

Growing expectations related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities are generating increased opportunities and challenges for organizations as they navigate emerging regulations and market pressures. Many organizations are expanding their sustainability efforts to address an evolving ESG landscape. Many are realizing the benefits of integrating enterprise risk management (ERM) and ESG efforts to provide a more holistic view of how ESG risks and opportunities interact with other risks facing the business. In this session, Chris will share insights about BAT’s ERM program and how it supports the organization’s sustainability agenda, and he will share perspectives on how the company is tracking a number of climate diagnostics to analyze climate-related risks.
