The second panel of the day was “Regulation and Risk as Data Management Drivers” – you can find the A-Team’s write up here. Some of my thoughts/notes can be found below:

Some additional notes/thoughts:

There is no current crisis – we have other priorities (we now know what happened there) The business case is still too fuzzy (regulation took care of this issue) Dealing with the politics of implementation (silos are still around, but cost and regulation are weakening politics as a defence?)…Attended a good event at S&P Capital IQ’s offices on Tuesday morning last week in London, built around the BCBS 239 document on risk aggregation and reporting (see earlier PRMIA event on this topic too).
