The Asian Bankers Association (ABA) is inviting members and friends to participate in the Chief Risk Officer Conference being organized by Trueventus, an ABA Knowledge Partner, on 20-21 May 2026 at the Aloft Singapore Novena, Singapore.
(1) INTRODUCTION
The role of the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) is more critical than ever in 2025 as organizations navigate economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and increasingly complex regulations. According to the 2025 EY Global Risk Survey, 78% of organizations now place risk management at the center of strategic planning, reflecting a shift toward proactive risk leadership. Rising bankruptcy projections, growing corporate defaults, and continued market volatility further highlight the urgency for stronger enterprise risk frameworks.
At the same time, companies are accelerating the adoption of AI, predictive analytics, and enhanced supply chain and cybersecurity risk protocols to strengthen resilience. Despite these advances, many CROs still face challenges in embedding a strong risk culture across their organizations. The Chief Risk Officer Summit by Trueventus offers a vital platform for industry leaders to exchange insights, explore emerging technologies, and build meaningful connections to shape the future of enterprise risk management.
(2) THEMES FOR DISCUSSION
- Embedding risk management into strategic planning, transformation initiatives, and enterprise decision-making.
