As a result of the subprime sector meltdown and the subsequent credit crunch, banks must now increase supervision of liquidity risk and provide an increased level of transparency to auditors and the public. Banks all over the world are increasingly becoming more concerned over this issue. There are many important factors that banks and financial institutions must consider when developing effective Liquidity Risk Management policies including: management structures, monitoring net finding requirements, emergency planning, foreign currency, internal controls and public disclosure to name a few.

The Knowledge Congress has assembled a panel of experts to help banks tackle the issue of Liquidity Risk Management in today’s challenging business environment. The panel will present their findings, which include “Best Practices” in this 2-hour teleconference.

The Knowledge Congress is an organization that produces teleconferences that examine regulatory changes across a variety of industries. “We bring together the world's leading authorities and industry participants through informative two-hour teleconferences to study the impact of changing regulations.” To contact or to register to an event, please visit: www.knowledgecongress.org.
