TRANSCRIPT
SAIFM is proud to present our keynote speaker for the 3rd annual Regulatory summit, renowned scenario planner and futurologist, Mr Clem Sunter. South Africa is facing unprecedented uncertainty and risk in view of global economic and political instability coupled with the volatile South African political and economic landscape. Having captured the risks and impact of the anti-establishment emotions sweeping America and Britain in his recent book Flagwatching, Mr Sunter is well placed to provide context to the challenges we face in South Africa.
Radical and rapidly evolving risk: can financial regulators keep up?
SAIFM 3RD REGULATORY SUMMIT22 September 2016 | Hyatt Regency

Regulators inevitably have to play catch-up as innovations in business models, processes and technology evolve rapidly and radically thereby introducing risks not formerly encountered and thus not factored into regulatory strategies. In addition, unquantifiable uncertainty adds further layers of complexity that seem impossible to understand, anticipate or manage. Extreme events of social, financial or political nature also introduce risk and uncertainty that may lead to financial instability and meltdown. This is of particular concern to financial regulators as these risks and uncertainties often cannot be anticipated but only responded to, generally belatedly.
With agile financial operators being able to outpace regulators rapidly and comprehensively, directors, executives, compliance and legal professionals are often held accountable for financial acrobatics which they did not fully grasp at the time.
As regulators, directors, executives and compliance professionals are not always at the forefront of product or system development, new products, systems and methods may be difficult to supervise. It is thus essential that regulators, businesses and professionals inform themselves of the risks and uncertainties introduced
by these new systems, methods and products that sometimes could be purposely opaque and layered!
Conduct risk and consumer protection in particular are becoming matters of great concern to regulators. Technological change has brought new risks and opportunities in this field. In practice consumer protection often depends on the challenges inherent to systems architecture, applications and data management as much as it is an issue for compliance officers.
Cyber risk is closely related and often conflated with conduct risk issues and constitutes a significant and growing risk to the integrity, efficiency and soundness of financial markets worldwide. As a result, it is a major driver of regulatory change. According to the IOSCO report released in April 2016 for comment, it is a unique, highly complex and rapidly evolving phenomenon that should receive urgent attention by regulators.
How should compliance and regulatory professionals prepare for the challenges ahead? How should the business community, investors and financial market practitioners weigh up the risks and opportunities that inevitably follow great change
