Sampling for Risk Assessment Monitoring and Testing

Knowledge Test

DESCRIPTION

TCAE is excited to bring back Saad Kiyani, Head of Canadian Regulatory Testing of BMO Financial Group with us to be hosted and moderated by our founder, Souzan Esmaili.

In this Knowledge Series session, Saad will discuss sampling for Monitoring and Testing and how to build sampling that makes sense without breaking the bank or your back!

One of the key points in order to have a smooth Monitoring and Testing process is to build a great sampling structure. Although this could sound simple, sampling is a work of art! In this session Saad will help us understand different layers of sampling and their differences in order to achieve a  better result in the Monitoring and Testing process. 

 

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • When statistical significance might make sense
  • How to build layers of sampling to get better results
  • The different options for sampling (location, account type, quantitative measures, etc) and examples of how to use them
