In acknowledgement of the risk challenges facing Africa, SAS Institute will host a risk summit in Nigeria in February.
Africa presents a great opportunity for investment and development; however, in order to maximise this opportunity it is vital to be able to understand and deal with the element of credit risk management in the region, as well as the obligatory compliance regulations.
Navigating the minefield of credit risk and Basel II compliance requirements can be a daunting task, but not if you have a system in place to help you analyse the streams of data, and a clear understanding of strategic goals and expectations.
With this in mind, SAS Institute South Africa will bring together SAS experts at a credit risk summit to be held in Nigeria on 21 February, which will help organisations to address the challenges within the financial services industry, and discover ways to understand the wealth of value hidden in raw data.
Says Edward Sungura of SAS MEA: "SAS has been working closely with the world's leading financial organisations for nearly 30 years, helping these institutions to meet strategic goals and exceed performance expectations. SAS can help financial institutions in Africa to not only survive in the global arena, but to thrive."
The full day event will cover every aspect of credit risk with regard to Basel II, from the conceptualisation of Basel II and credit risk through to SAS's software positioning regarding CRMS integrated with BIS, Basel II and Credit Risk referenced implementations and the software to business alignment matrix.
The event will also encompass Basel II Credit Risk approaches and worldwide best practices, Basel II Credit Risk implementation and realisation and a roadmap for beyond Basel II, including realisation of ROI, market risk, operational risk and enterprise risk management.
