COLUMBIA, S.C.– Banks continue to face increased regulatory scrutiny and pressure to perform at a higher level of operating effectiveness and efficiency. Even in the midst of these increasing demands, internal auditors, risk officers, and compliance officers are challenged with auditing and monitoring the bank’s operational, reporting, and compliance risks, oftentimes with limited resources.

Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP attorneys David F. Katz and Dowse “Brad” Rustin, IV will address these challenges during a South Carolina Risk Management Seminar 2017 on May 18, 2017. Mr. Katz will present on “Data Privacy and Cybersecurity,” while Mr. Rustin will discuss “Regulatory Compliance Hot Topics.”
