On Thursday 4 July, MDP will host the first in a new series of lunch time events at its central London offices, located near Monument tube station. The event will also be broadcast as a live webinar.
This first lunch-time event will highlight some of the challenges exposed in our recent survey conducted in collaboration with the Actuarial Post and how to use effective input controls to help reduce risk.
Guest speakers Roger Austin and Ricky Maloney will talk about expert judgement and a single inventory view for global derivative exposure. Daniel de Bruin, Managing Partner at MDP will highlight the benefits of Process Automation, and how this can reduce the risk of input error.
