Background

Financial institutions operate in an environment of rapidly evolving regulations, technological disruption, heightened risk complexity and increasing expectations of accountability. In this environment, effective Board governance is central to preserving financial stability, depositor and stakeholder confidence, and the long-term resilience of Banks, Financial Institutions and NBFCs.

The Reserve Bank of India has consistently emphasized that Boards must provide effective strategic direction and oversight while maintaining an appropriate separation between governance and dayto-day management. RBI’s expectations extend beyond regulatory compliance to include the quality of Board deliberations, risk appetite and culture, internal controls, business-model resilience, customer and conduct risks, technology and cyber resilience, and the effectiveness and independence of assurance functions.

In this context, Non-Executive Chairmen and Directors need the ability to critically evaluate management proposals, ask the right questions, challenge constructively, interpret increasingly complex Board information and exercise effective oversight without micromanaging. RBI’s supervisory approach also places importance on Board composition, expertise, committee effectiveness and the Board’s oversight of strategy, risk and senior management.

Objective

Against this backdrop, the programme seeks to provide Directors with a contemporary, practical and forward-looking perspective on Board responsibilities, emerging risks and regulatory expectations, enabling them to contribute more effectively to sound governance and institutional resilience

Program Highlights

The program will deal with the following topics:

  • Building Strategy & Institutional Resilience
  • Strengthening Board Accountability
  • Safeguarding Credit & Financial Resilience
  • Embedding a Stronger Culture of addressing Financial Crime, Conduct, Cyber, Technology & Operational Resilience Risk
  • Governing AI & Responsible Innovation
  • Preparing the Board for the future
     

Sessions will be addressed by top regulators, industry leaders and domain experts, bringing together supervisory perspectives, practitioner experience and cutting-edge domain expertise.
