The Knowledge Congress Has Scheduled a CLE/CPE Rebroadcast on Stress Testing for Community Banks in 2011 Live Webcast

New York, NY, June 10, 2011 --(PR.com)-- This rebroadcast event, with a live audience Q&A session is scheduled on July 22, 2011 from 3pm - 5pm ET. This is a follow up to the highly successful Stress Testing for Community Banks event held last February 23, 2011.

Event Synopsis

While the financial meltdown was led by the large financial intuitions, community banks suffered mightily from its aftershocks. Community banks are increasingly turning to stress testing so that they can more comprehensively understand their risk & financial health to make it easier to anticipate future problems. While stress testing is a good tool for managing risk, some challenges have arisen such as: should the results be made public? what are the limitations of stress testing, and fears of potential reprisals by regulators to name just a few.

While some sanity and stability has returned to the markets, many risks remain. Your bank needs to be ahead of the curve by having the ability to anticipate risk not simply reacting to it. Stress testing can be an effective tool for this. The Knowledge Group has assembled a key panel of experts to help you make sense of stress testing as it applies to your bank. They’ll cover the good, the bad, and the critical points in between.
