Rutgers Financial Institutions Center

The results of the presidential election will still be fresh on Friday, Nov. 9., when the Rutgers Business School and the Financial Institutions Center bring together a diverse group of industry experts to discuss the broad reforms that followed the 2008 financial crisis.

The conference, “Risk Management in a Fast-Changing Regulatory Environment” will delve into the current post-crisis regulation with a series of panel discussions that promise to produce an exchange of compelling viewpoints.

Darius Palia, a finance professor at Rutgers Business School, believes financial industry regulators have to be careful not to primarily look at the size of an institution when assessing the potential impact its failure would have on the industry. Based on the events that occurred after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, this is a limitation of rule-making and implementation under Dodd-Frank, according to Palia.
