‘Demystifying Risk Myopia in Digital Disruption in Financial Services’ was organised as a part of the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Program of PIMA’s event calendar.

PIMA has been actively involved in various academic/professional development programs and carrying out social activities, over the past two decades. This program on ‘Demystifying Risk Myopia in Digital Disruption in Financial Services focused mainly on reducing or eliminating the gap in risk management. The event was well attended with a full house, from disciplines such as risk management, finance and audit in the sectors banking and finance, as well as the top corporate leaders (both PIMA and non PIMA).

This event was held at Hotel Kingsbury, Colombo. The forum featured two keynotes by Hatton National Bank Deputy General Manager – Risk and Chief Risk Officer Damith Pallewatte and CICRA Holdings Group Director and CEO Boshan Dayaratne respectively.

The duo joined Commercial Bank Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director Sanath Manatunge and Dialog Axiata Plc Digital Services Vice President Fariq Cader for a panel discussion moderated by Daily FT Editor Nisthar Cassim. Industry insights shared by the keynote speakers, followed by the interactive panel discussions with experts in the industry, added much value to the evening which ended up with fellowship and cocktails.
