It's been a decade since the Great Recession gave way to the last wave of "best practice" regarding financial reserves. A lot of organizations had rebuilt their reserves, in many cases with increased sophistication. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has required organizations to lean on reserves in new ways to navigate otherwise impossible choices. In this session, you will learn about practical tools that have emerged for revising reserve targets, as well as unpack the last decade and current credible frames of thinking regarding how reserves are built, accessed, and invested within your organization.
