Regulatory Restructuring of the Financial Services Industry: What You Need To Know
** Discounts apply for early registration. See information below to register in this event. ** Summary: The recent economic crisis and subsequent financial services regulatory restructuring effort have exposed a number of significant structural defects in the system including: - A lack of coordination among regulators; - A lack of systemic oversight; - Gaps in regulation of financial firms and financial products; and - Inadequate procedures to resolve the failures of large non-banking institutions. Within the last twelve months, there have been many regulatory reform proposals released, including proposals by former Treasury Secretary Paulson, the General Accountability Office (GAO), the Group of Thirty, and legislative proposals by the current Treasury Department and Capitol Hill. Also, the legislation that created the TARP program called for two studies on this topic: one by the TARP oversight committee, which was published in January, and another by the Secretary of the Treasury, which is due in April. Additionally, financial services trade associations are in the process of either developing principles for financial regulatory reform or devising specific reform proposals. The financial services industry, as a whole, recognizes that sound regulation promotes sound practices and consumer confidence. Although all of these proposals differ on some specifics, there is some commonality. At this event, a panel of key thought leaders and experts discuss the differences and commonality among these proposals and what we might likely expect on regulatory reform going forward. This is a must attend LIVE webcast for all professionals interesting in financial regulatory matters. The event will take place on May 7, 2009, 12:00pm to 2:00pm (ET).

Bruemmer Partner, Chair, Financial Institutions Practice Group KPMG LLP Linda A. Watters Managing Director Event Agenda/High Level Points to be Discussed: 1. The Optional Federal Charter and The Potential Impact on the Insurance Industry Congress is considering and has introduced legislation to create a national insurance regulator. Currently, insurance is regulated on a state-by-state basis. Creating a bifurcated system, similar to the banking industry will have a significant impact on the insurance industry. 2. TARP and the Insurance Industry The reality of converting from an insurance regulator to a bank regulator in order to accept TARP funds has resulted in a myriad of new processes and procedures for the industry. 3. Rethinking Credit Scoring The state insurance regulators are re-examining the use of insurance scoring in setting premiums in light of the credit crisis. 4. Capital Adequacy - Insurers pressured with risk based capital requirements by the regulators must assess their capital adequacy levels Check for Updates, Speaker Bios, Event Details etc: http://www.knowledgecongress.org/event_2009_blue.html Who Should Attend? - CEOs - CFOs - Financial Execs - Economists - Compliance Officers - Banks & financial institutions - Business Consultants - CPAs & Accounting firms - Valuation Specialists - GCs of Financial Firms, - Valuation Specialists & Consultants - Risk Officers Why Attend?
