Errors and Omissions Risks Faced By Financial Institutions

For your clients in the financial sector, mistakes are rare and costly.  They could also damage the reputation of the financial institution they work for. Still though, even though mistakes are rare, they do happen. Nobody is immune to errors and omissions, and your financial sector clients are no exception.

Banks and other financial institutions are increasingly facing pressure to comply with regulatory mandates, strengthen balance sheets, and meet high customer demands. Accomplishing each of these objectives puts a strain on the resources that are needed to address and stay ahead of threated that target their networks, applications, and data. This raises cyber risks as well as errors and omissions risks, as strained resources often equate to mistakes.

Financial institution executives, board members, and administrators face heightened scrutiny by regulators, investors, and other stakeholders on a regular basis, which puts them under the microscope as they navigate a shifting risk landscape. Errors and Omissions exposures are continuously evolving as new legislation and regulation bring increased awareness of management practices and oversight, non-compliance or inadequate compliance.
