FMS Webinar: A Practical Approach to Enterprise Risk Management

April 15, 2010 2:00pm - 3:00pm


Managing risks in today's environment is a necessity, not an option. And understanding and controlling the different types of risk facing community financial institutions can seem overwhelming. From business continuity to vendors, the need for a program that encompasses all of the functional risks across the institution is only getting stronger. Plus, due to the increasing complexity and concentration of risk in institutions, the silo approach to monitoring risk is simply not an acceptable solution anymore.

This webinar is being offered by the National Chapter of the Financial Managers Society (FMS) National Chapter. Download FMS brochure.
