• Risk identification, assessment, and mitigation strategies in financial institutions;
• Regulatory frameworks and their impact on risk governance in the finance and insurance industry;
• Risk culture and organizational behavior within financial and insurance institutions;

• The role of big data analytics and predictive modeling in risk governance;
