Recently, a series of headline-grabbing operational risk incidents at banks, other financial institutions and even regulators have again brought the issue of operational risk management to the forefront of the agendas of CEOs, CROs, risk managers and internal and external auditors alike. These incidents are wide ranging and flow from bank ATM collapses, bank operating system failures, regulatory settlements in the ongoing US sub-prime mortgage saga, rogue traders and the connected risk managers who either missed or were willfully blind to all the warning signs.
As the size and complexity of financial institutions have increased, so too have the challenges of understanding and reducing operational risks down to truly manageable levels. Increased regulatory concern and scrutiny have also increased the cost of operational risk events in the shape of outright financial loss, regulatory fines and declining customer confidence
Operational Risk Management (ORM) is an effective tool for not only maintaining but increasing, bank profits, shareholder value, public perceptions and goodwill. Executed properly, improvements in ORM can lead to substantial financial, reputational and regulatory benefits – all this adds to increased profitability, greater financial stability and improved customer satisfaction. But to achieve these gains, financial institutions must apply a consistent and comprehensive approach to managing their operational risks. They must also understand that this approach is fundamentally different from the approaches that they use in managing market, credit and liquidity risks.
Bad Operational Risk Management has a severely negative effect on financial institutions in four very clear ways:
All too often banks have seen the need to effectively manage their operational risks as simply an issue of complying with what the bank regulator requires, rather than a disciplined process that serves to not only ensure a banks survival but which can, in the long run, contribute to that bank’s financial fortune.
Implementing an effective Operational Risk Management routine is a complex process. At its core is an understanding of what Operations Risk is and how it can be managed. This course is an intensive introduction to Operations Risk management and mitigation. It is designed to provide a practical “hands-on” approach to participants which will furnish them with all the tools and techniques they need to begin implementing what they have learned as soon as they return to the office.
The underlying course philosophy is to move the participants beyond the largely theoretical international compliance requirements for operations risk (such as contained in the Basel Accords), and into an understanding of the practice of operations risk management and an ability to actually implement these procedures.
The objectives of this training course is to provide all staff, irrespective of whether they work in the front-, middle- or back-office, with a sound foundation in the theory and practice of Operational Risk Management. This training is provided in a practical "hands-on" manner that allows them to implement what they have learned easily and effectively.
This course provides a complete structured package for learning in all main aspects of the subject of Operational Risk. It will enable participants to prepare and manage the planning and implementation of operational risk management processes in their bank/ financial institution or firm.
The aim of the course is to provide:
