Madoff Scandal: Lessons Learned
Complimentary webinar
September 17, 2009 - Webinar

The Bernard Madoff multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme is just one of hundreds such events that we have been tracking since the start of the financial crisis. Please join Algorithmics on 17th September at 2:00pm BST for a discussion on the impacts of the Bernard Madoff fraud on investors and fund managers. Penny Cagan, Managing Director of Algorithmics Credit and Operational Risk Content Group, will discuss: What are the lessons learned? What red flags were apparent but ignored? What are the due diligence questions that are a necessary part of any assessment of an alternative investment? How can we apply lessons learned from Madoff to future risk management challenges?

Also included will be a discussion of Algorithmics' case study approach to risk management. Attendees will receive a copy of the Madoff case from the Algo FIRST database of risk management case studies. Algo FIRST is a database of external risk loss events that enables pension funds, hedge funds, asset managers, banks, and insurance providers to proactively manage operational risk. Algorithmics' solution is the industry's only research tool that puts real-life case studies within an operational risk framework.
