Inherent Risks within the Global Custody Chain Working Group

Scope

On the occasion of its 6th Symposium in May 1992, ISSA published a Report on Global Custody Risks, addressing various types of risks incurred in the global custody business. Developments over the past 25 years have significantly enlarged the risks inherent in the custody services arena. Hence the ISSA Board mandated a new Working Group to update this document. Rather than best practices, the updated report is an educational reference document.

Working Group Co-Chairs

Andy Smith, BNY Mellon
