Corporate Governance, Risk Management & RegTech: Trends across Asia

Logo from Asia Society Hong Kong Centre

On January 14th, the Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) and US regtech pioneer Starling led an online discussion about persistent challenges in the governance and supervision of conduct risk, how new technologies may help to correct the conditions that led to past failures, and also to boost operational resiliency during these challenging times — and into the future.  Such questions have deeply occupied regulators, exchanges, and firms in the last years, and relevant trends were considered.

To conduct a meaningful discussion, Starling and the Asia Society convened a panel of experts that included:

• Starling advisor Gary Cohn, who is Vice Chairman of IBM, past Director of the US National Economic Council and former President & COO of Goldman Sachs;
• Charles Li, Senior Advisor to the Board and recent past-CEO at the Hong Kong Exchange Group; 
• Motonobu Matsuo, Secretary General of the Japan Securities & Exchange Surveillance Commission; and 
• Loretta Yuen, Group General Counsel & Executive Vice-President of Singapore’s OCBC Bank
