The CRO Forum is an invite-only event, designed to bring together AFIA’s cohort of senior risk executives to gather views and thoughts on the latest industry issues, trends and emerging risks, and explore forward-looking risk strategies.

The CRO Forum series is held in partnership with Risk Advisory Partner and Associate Member, Ashurst. As an international leader in cyber risk, data breach and crisis management support, Ashurst will offer insights into emerging risk issues and how financial institutions can protect themselves.

This session will explore the evolving governance landscape around data and artificial intelligence (AI) in Australian financial services. With rapid adoption of AI models and increased regulatory scrutiny, financial institutions must ensure the responsible, ethical, and secure use of data and AI technologies. The session will examine regulatory expectations, operational challenges, and practical frameworks to ensure compliance and trust.
