The Art of Optimal Risk Taking: Characteristics of Strong Risk Assessments

Credit Unions provide great value to the American economy. But that value comes with risks. Strategic-minded institutions do not strive to eliminate risk or even to minimize it - they strive to manage risk at the enterprise-wide level. These enterprises seek to manage risk exposure so that, at any given time, they incur just enough of the right kind of risk—no more, no less - to effectively pursue their strategic goals. This is referred to as "Optimal Risk-Taking". This webinar will take you through the characteristics of strong Risk Assessments to ensure you address key areas of your institution.
