In the old-fashioned world of traditional finance, it was beneficial for risk and compliance teams to provide as much information as possible in a risk assessment.

Tune in today to hear my advice on how you should be approaching risk assessments as a Fintech founder and don’t forget to join my Risk Assessment workshop where i walk you through the methodology of creating the risk assessment and give you all the templates needed.
