Social media influence continues to grow. Contrary to earlier opinions by many in the financial services industry, social media is not a fad.  Every year more and more financial institutions commit to social media in one form or another.  However, many financial institutions do not adequately consider the legal, compliance, operational, and reputational risks, among others.

The Social Media Risk Boot Camp for Financial Institutions will provide attendees with the tools needed to prevent associated risks.  This Boot Camp will provide a primer on social media use by organizations and employees, risk assessment methodologies, internal control designs, policy and procedure tools, and training tools.

Financial institutions use social media in many ways including: advertising, marketing and promotions; new loan and deposit account origination; customer surveys;  customer service; and, community outreach. This form of customer interaction tends to be less formal and less controlled than traditional bank methods.  It also tends to be more democratized (not top-down but peer-to-peer).  As such, it presents unique challenges to financial institutions relative to their risk management practices.

On December 11, 2013, the FFIEC issued its Final Guidance on Social Media. To meet regulator expectations, financial institutions are expected to manage potential risks associated with social media usage and access. The Final Guidance is intended to bring forth the compliance, legal, reputational, and operational risks associated with social media usage.

The Social Media Risk Boot Camp for Financial Institutions will provide attendees with the tools needed to comply with the Final Guidance.  Tools include conducting risk assessments, designing internal controls, developing management reports, creating policies and procedures, and providing effective employee training.
