SUMMARY:EMEA: Navigating the new risk landscape: AI\, governance\, and the path to maturity
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\n70% of risk leaders say the landscape is more complex than it was two years ago. With the rapid adoption of AI\, multiplying regulations\, and intensifying cyber threats\, risk teams are busier than ever. Investment and intent are at an all-time high\, yet true resilience remains elusive for many. This phenomenon is known as the “Middle Maturity Trap”: a state where organizations achieve high levels of activity — logging risks\, adopting controls\, and mapping frameworks — but lack the consistency and governance to turn that activity into foresight. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we unpack the findings from the inaugural 2025 Risk Intelligence Report. Based on proprietary telemetry from the AuditBoard platform and surveys of over 400 risk leaders\, this session will reveal why “surface compliance” is failing and how top-tier organizations are distinguishing themselves. We will explore the five critical dimensions of risk intelligence—from AI automation to cross-functional collaboration—and provide a strategic roadmap to help you move from reactive oversight to competitive advantage. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the “Middle Maturity Trap”: Recognize the signs of high-activity/low-consistency risk management and understand why “check-the-box” compliance no longer ensures resilience.\n\n\n\nBenchmark against the 5 dimensions of risk intelligence: Evaluate your organization’s maturity across the five critical pillars: AI & automation\, control maturity\, framework coverage\, collaboration\, and risk discipline.\n\n\n\nNavigate the “Frontline Test” of AI: Understand how leading enterprises are governing AI adoption to balance speed with trust\, avoiding the “pilot purgatory” that plagues less mature organizations.\n\n\n\nOperationalize connected risk: Learn specific strategies to break down silos between audit\, risk\, infosec\, and compliance\, creating a unified\, real-time view of risk.\n\n\n\nApply a 3-phase strategic roadmap: Walk away with a concrete plan to establish clear governance\, drive execution discipline\, and scale market leadership within your own organization.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 CPE upon live viewing and participation. CPEs not offered on-demand. \n\n\n\nField of study: Information Technology \n\n\n\nInstructional delivery method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nLevel: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced preparation: None  \n\n\n\n*Click here for more CPE information.

SUMMARY:Crisis-Proofing Cash: A Framework for Corporate Liquidity Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:Cash resilience is ultimately measured by one question: can obligations be met when markets are under stress? This session examines how treasury and finance leaders can apply lessons from past market disruptions to evaluate the resilience of their current cash strategy. \n\n\n\nFrom the global financial crisis to the regional bank failures of 2023\, recent crises have demonstrated that not all cash instruments behave uniformly when liquidity tightens. This virtual panel discussion will introduce a practical framework for assessing counterparty exposures\, liquidity assumptions\, and structural risks\, as well as explore how direct ownership of U.S. Treasury bills can support operational continuity when markets shift. \n\n\n\nSession Learning Objectives: \n\n\n\n– Understand where stress-induced liquidity breakdowns most commonly occur across financial instruments and settlement processes– Examine the dynamics of corporate cash availability during a crisis– Learn how to effectively stress test cash strategies to prepare for market turbulence ahead \n\n\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.
