A Year of Klaros' 1st Friday Risk and Compliance Roundtables

BY CATHERINE BROWN


Last Spring, Klaros hosted a risk and compliance roundtable to collectively analyze the latest developments at the CFPB with our network of clients and colleagues. After receiving a lot of positive feedback and encouragement, we decided to host these regularly and the series, now known as Klaros’ 1st Friday Risk and Compliance Roundtables, was born.


We have hosted seven 1st Friday roundtables to date, all featuring prominent guest speakers covering the latest developments in risk and compliance. Here’s a look back at what we’ve covered so far:
