The 2008 financial crisis created unprecedented disruption to global capital markets. While financial services firms had invested considerable amounts of time and capital managing risk, the actual crisis shed light on risk management. It is rare to see how these systems and processes respond under real stress. Steve Rubinow was EVP and CIO of  NYSE Euronext during the crisis. He will recount the events during the crisis and comment on how financial services firms can learn from these events. OnCorps will also provide an overview of algorithms and workflows used in the detection of errors on oversight and reconciliation systems.
