The annual Financial Services Leadership Summit (FSLS) will take place across a series of video discussions beginning on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 and concluding on Thursday, November 12, 2020. The FSLS brings together directors and senior executives from among the largest banks and insurers globally with regulators and other stakeholders and subject matter experts for discussions on the forces shaping the sector and the implications for financial institution leadership and governance.
Summit participants will discuss:
-
The state of the accelerating ESG agenda with Sandra Boss, Global Head of Investment Stewardship at BlackRock, bank and insurance executives focused on these issues, regulators, and other guests.
-
How the financial services sector can build on the accelerated technological transformation of the sector generated by this period of upheaval and develop new ways of working. We will cover these issues across several sessions, including discussions with Cathy Bessant, Chief Operations and Technology Officer at Bank of America, venture investors, executives, and others.
-
The implications of geopolitical issues, including the new paradigm for the role of central banks and governments in markets and economies, the trend toward deglobalization, the US presidential election, the rise of Chinese fintech and the implications for global financial services, and other policy issues. Participants will be joined by Clay Lowery, EVP, Research and Policy, from the IIF, Martin Chorzempa, Research Fellow at the Peterson Institute, and EY regulatory experts.

Key themes that emerged include:
· The competitive landscape continues to evolve
· Bank and fintech partnerships remain attractive, but both parties are more selective
· Fintechs debate engagement models with banks

Even though the coronavirus continues to pose a serious public health threat, governments around the world are trying to protect their economies by easing restrictions. As the crisis enters a new phase, companies are focused on restarting their businesses. Leaders are working hard on issues such as workforce deployment, company operations, and long-term strategy, and they are considering how to account for and report on the consequences of the pandemic.
From June 11 to June 26, 2020, Tapestry Networks convened a series of virtual meetings with the audit committee chairs of more than 100 large US public companies to discuss how boards and audit committees are responding to the COVID-19 crisis. EY experts and senior leaders joined the audit chairs in these meetings.
This ViewPoints synthesizes discussions about three themes that emerged in the meetings:
• Workforce well-being remains a top priority for boards
• Operational and strategic initiatives are under review
• Financial reporting challenges are likely to persist through year end

To read all of Tapestry's recent ViewPoints regarding board response to COVID-19:
COVID-19 prompted oncologists across the United States to rapidly deliver new interventions and policies to protect their patients and workforce. As the acute crisis abates in some states, stakeholders are contemplating the longer-term implications of COVID-19 on oncology. Such implications include the crisis’s impact on the ongoing shift to a value-based care paradigm and alternative payment models (APMs).
COVID-19 arrived when value-based oncology was already at an inflection point: the advent of a successor model to the country’s largest oncology payment reform experiment, the Oncology Care Model (OCM). This past fall, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) released a request for information describing the potential successor, the Oncology Care First (OCF) model, and CMMI’s vision to base aspects of the OCF model’s payment methodology on cancer type, a more granular approach than is used in OCM. Although the fate of the new model is uncertain following CMMI’s extension of OCM in response to COVID-19, the evolution of more granular payment models remains top of mind for participants in the oncology APMs advisory council, as do the underlying data foundations needed to achieve more granularity and accuracy.
Council participants met virtually in June 2020 to address the above issues. Read more about their work here.
