A very interesting study by EY which echoes exactly what we are seeing in the market; this is the mood of the times and many financial services organisations need to catch up.

Risk is playing a key part in the leadership of FS organisations and it is something that we will be exploring in February 2016 during a dinner headlined ‘The CFO and CRO – leadership alongside the Chief Executive’.
