NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Corgentum Consulting, a leading provider of operational due diligence reviews and background investigations, announced today that it will be hosting a webinar discussing techniques investors can employ to improve their operational due diligence (ODD) reviews of fund managers while accounting for the impact of Covid-19 on the asset management industry.

Topics covered will include:

• Understanding the Covid impact on hedge fund and private equity operations
• Investor strategies for conducting off-site virtual ODD reviews including:
• Developing virtual meeting agendas and evidence based system demonstrations
• Negotiating the screen sharing and transmission of digital documentation that managers may previously not have shared outside the office
• Should investors perform multiple topic specific virtual ODD reviews in key operational risk areas (i.e. – back office, treasury, compliance, information technology) or group topics together?
• Should the frequency of virtual ODD reviews increase as compared to in-person reviews?
• New investor approaches towards automating document collection, employing quantitative analysis, big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) into ODD
• Analyzing the different impact, the Coronavirus has had on fund manager operations in the US, Europe and Asia
• Perspectives on re-evaluating investor ODD budgets due to reduced travel costs including increasing spending and customization on background checks
• Should investors revise their future ODD policies and operational risk management procedures?
• Performing focused information technology and cybersecurity reviews on alternative investment fund managers that increasingly rely on remote hosting and cloud based software
• Analyzing the shifting role of fund service providers including the administrator, auditor, compliance consultant, prime broker, legal counsel, information technology consultant, and third-party valuation agents

The webinar will be hosted by Jason Scharfman, a leading expert in fund operations and due diligence. Mr. Scharfman is also the author of the newly released Alternative Investment Operations: Hedge Funds, Private Equity and Fund of Funds (Palgrave Macmillan).
