Operational Risk 2.0

Book description

The discipline of operational risk is at a crossroads. Common questions currently asked include: How does the discipline add value to my organisation? What does the advanced measurement approach’s modelling techniques say about the op risks my firm is facing? What is the strategic role of operational risk my firm should adopt?

Operational Risk 2.0 is recommended for operational risk professionals assessing the development of both the discipline and their careers. This pioneering guide presents the current thinking on how operational risk will develop and provides you with practical techniques and advice on:

• Improving data and control self-assessment programmes;
• The relationship between op risk and an enterprise risk framework;
• Developing a value-adding op risk governance structure;
• Taking your firm’s AMA to the next evolutionary stage.

It will also help you to follow the lead of firms such as Lloyds TSB, JP Morgan and DBS, who are already embracing the use of improved management concepts and techniques. Real-life case studies help readers relate the concepts discussed to their own experiences and firm structures. Advice and insight from regulatory executives such as the US’s FDIC and Germany’s Bundesbank are also included.

This multi-contributor book consists of 15 chapters from a wide range of thought-leaders from around the world including Him Chuan Lim, Eric Holmquist, Johannes Voit, Jeremy Quick, and Ashish Dev. Each chapter addresses a particular subject with both theory and practical advice that you will be able to implement in your own firm.

Operational Risk 2.0 represents the logical next step in the evolution of operational risk management as a discipline.
