Series details

As an industry, fintech has delivered valuable new innovations to consumers and served as an engine of economic growth for several years. That growth brings new opportunities – and challenges – in the form of bank partnerships, regulatory scrutiny, and other critical areas. Even as it continues to innovate, the industry is maturing, and banks now are more likely to see fintech companies as partners rather than competitors.

Still, risks remain that must be carefully navigated. Fintech companies need to put appropriate controls and safeguards in place. Striking the right balance between innovation and risk management will be key to thriving in the dynamic fintech landscape of today and beyond.

In this webinar series, Crowe specialists will discuss emerging challenges and opportunities for the fintech industry and how to address them. Over the course of the series, they will cover topics including:

• Governance, risk, and compliance
• Accounting, finance, and tax
• Emerging opportunities and risks

Each session of this series is recommended for 1.5 hours of CPE credit.
