Conference on 25th September at a discounted fee of

Risk management has always been
core to what we do. However, in today's environment of economic and
financial uncertainty, new regulation and emerging lessons from the
financial crisis, risk management has been elevated to a new level
of importance and urgency as the financial services industry looks
at risk and capital in new ways. New responsibilities have emerged
for actuaries, risk managers, senior management, board members and
others.
The "ERM: Insights for Insurers" seminar will provide attendees
with insights into recent developments in risk management and
explore their relevance to insurers. Our speakers - all risk
management experts - will explore risk management topics in detail,
taking the current economic and supervisory environment into
account.
- Patrick Brady, Head of Risk & Policy, Central Bank of
Ireland, will be the keynote speaker and will discuss the
implications for insurers of a sustained low interest rate
environment.
- Esko Kivisaari, Chairman of the Groupe Consultatif Actuariel
Européen Insurance Committee, will cover topics such as Solvency II
and ERM, developments in the risk management space outside Europe,
and what insurers and policymakers can learn from risk management
practices and experiences in banking.
- Niamh Brennan, Michael McCormac Professor of Management at the
UCD School of Business, will explore the behavioural and
psychological aspects of managing risk and the challenges in
embedding a risk culture in an organisation.
- Pat Ryan will speak about "Overseeing Risk Management in a
Financial Institution", drawing on experiences as an INED and a
Chief Risk Officer. Pat's roles have included INED at the Irish
Life Group and Treasurer and Chief Risk Officer at AIB.
- Francis Coll, Head of Compliance at Irish Life Financial
Services, will give a practitioner's view of managing compliance
risk and how that fits within an ERM framework.
- Eamonn Phelan, Chairman of the Society's Enterprise Risk
Management Committee, will present on developments in relation to
Risk Appetite Statements.
- Lukas Ziewer will present on tools and techniques for managing
financial risk and John McCrossan will describe an innovative
approach to managing operational risk. Lukas and John are members
of the Society's Enterprise Risk Management Committee.
- Marie Sinnott, Manager - Compliance, Risk and Environment at
the Electricity Supply Board, will bring perspectives on risk
process and culture from another industry.

giving attendees the chance to engage in an active discussion on
risk management practice.
