Risk and Finance: 1 plus 1 equals 3

The buzz: Better together. The Insurance industry appears to be at a tipping point, on the verge of exciting and massive growth. But this requires historically independent Risk and Finance professionals to leave their silos and collaborate. According to a 2014 IDC white paper commissioned by SAP, an integrated risk-finance profile can facilitate improved financial forecasting; enhance timeliness, accuracy and completeness of information to gain a 360-view for better decision making; and enable faster response to evolving regulatory mandates. But is it realistic? The experts speak. Daniel Haudenschild, EY: “Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe” (Abraham Lincoln). Francesco Nagari, Deloitte: “There are only two things as complicated as insurance accounting and I have no idea what they are” (Andrew Tobias). Pat Saporito, SAP: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” (Benjamin Franklin). Join us for Risk and Finance: 1+1 = 3.
