Study Notes
Operational Risk Management Overview
- Operational risk exposures can manifest as actual loss events, resulting in financial and non-financial impacts.
- Near misses indicate adverse impacts were avoided through effective control measures, leading to no actual loss.
- Key operational risk events can drive the establishment or enhancement of risk management functions.
Events Classification
- Loss events and near misses are integral to operational risk management frameworks.
- Events provide data to validate forward-looking tools, such as Risk Control Self Assessment (RCSA) and scenario analysis.
Scenario Analysis
- Scenario analysis focuses on identifying plausible severe exposures that may lead to significant losses.
- Important for understanding potential impacts and guiding risk management strategies.
Operational Risk Modelling
- Various methods exist to assess and measure operational risk, from subjective expert opinions to advanced mathematical approaches.
- Common applications include estimating regulatory capital requirements, particularly under Basel II and Solvency II.
Risk Management Process
- The operational risk management process should be integrated into key business activities like decision-making, product development, and change management.
- Triggers for the process arise from strategic planning, decision making, and the introduction of new products or services.
Integrated Risk Management
- Some firms implement an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework to manage risks holistically.
- ERM emphasizes the interconnectedness of risks and necessitates clear delineation between risk categories.
Relationship with Other Risk Types
- Operational risk managers must justify categorization of certain risks as operational, especially in cases involving fraud, procedural failures, or transaction errors.
- Boundaries between operational risk, credit risk, and market risk can vary and may require ongoing adjustments and clarifications.
Learning Activity
- Engage in identifying significant operational risks within the firm using the cause-event-impact model to understand risk dynamics better.
