A Stronger Enterprise Risk Program
Implications from the pandemic brought renewed focus on risk management for banks and credit unions.

Low interest rates on investment alternatives and borrower preferences for fixed rate loans is increasing the pressure to consider taking on manageable levels of interest rate risk to mitigate high costs of excess liquidity. Yet many risk assessment processes miss the mark on understanding the trade-offs and potential gains from such a decision.
