Panel Discussion: Business Entity Identification –You HAVE to do something. Want to talk about it?
After 10 years, industry attempts to create or settle on a unique “Entity
Identifier” using the ISO process seems to have come full circle. Regulatory
requirements have combined with increasingly complex internal investment and
operational business analytics to intensify the need for a solution. The
industry requires the ability to track relationships between entities, the
securities they issue, and among arbitrarily related entities, with increasing
precision and an eye to the historical record (and litigation). Inconsistent
internal systems and the absence of any recognized Standards-based approach are
opening up increased venues for operational risk. Some industry players are
issuing identifiers called “IBEIs”, though how these fit into the Standards
picture is currently not clear, this panel discusses where we are and some of
the options available for the next 18 to 24 months.

Panel Discussion: Market Data Audits: Making changes for the better
Changes within the market data industry are increasing the frequency and
importance of audits which increases the demand on time and resources for audit
participants. This panel session examines the current state of the audit process
with a focus on the recent changes and a look at potential enhancements and
adaptations to improve the process down the road. Can accredited third-party
auditors diminish the demands placed on consumers and still meet the specific
requirements needed by the data providers? Can a pre-defined “window of
opportunity” for conducting audits work for both sides of the process? Our panel
will address these and other questions.

Predicting Risk
A number of risk management systems being used by banks in the 3rd and 4th Qtr
of 2007 managed to loose more than the 99.97th percentile predictions of the
models. Assumptions about 10 day holding periods also seem not to be that
accurate. Is it not time to update the analysis, methods and assumptions based
on what we learned during 2007 rather than some papers that were written in
1987?
