Consumer E-Payments: Complying with Auditor's Standards - Understanding the Risks

Why Should You Attend:

Financial institutions accept, collect, and process a variety of payment instruments and participate in clearing and settlement systems. In some cases, financial institutions perform all of these tasks. However, independent third parties are increasingly involved in this process, introducing new risks that affect the security of financial institutions.

Retail payment services expose financial institutions to numerous risks, including legal, compliance, strategic, operational, credit, and liquidity. Depending on the complexity of retail payment system activity, the scope of the examination may require an integrated team approach that includes the knowledge, skills, and expertise of IT, credit, and compliance specialists.

This E-Payments compliance training will outline and discuss the emerging market of electronic payments. We will talk about risk profiles and the quality of risk management practices as required from internal and external auditors. The primary objective of this session is to evaluate the effectiveness of the internal controls and risk management processes implemented by the financial institution and/or the technology service provider.
