Bringing RCSA's To Life: Strategic Value, Integration & Innovation

Wednesday, August 27, 2025

2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

This session will provide participants with a foundational understanding of Risk & Control Self-Assessments (RCSAs) and how they can be used to drive operational excellence, enhance customer experience, and align risk practices with enterprise objectives. We will explore how RCSAs can serve as a practical mechanism for driving risk reduction—helping organizations identify, prioritize, and mitigate risks to bring exposures within defined risk appetite thresholds. Drawing on lessons learned from financial services institutions, the session will highlight both “must achieve” outcomes and common pitfalls in RCSA implementation. The session will also introduce AI-powered accelerators that support scalable and sustainable execution—such as Process Flow Agents, Risk & Controls Transformation, and intelligent automation tools.

Learner Outcomes:

  1. Understand the purpose and business value of RCSAs in today’s risk landscape.
  2. Learn how RCSAs integrate with enterprise risk frameworks, including ERAs, KRIs, and issue management.
  3. Discover practical tools and accelerators that enhance RCSA execution and maturity.
