Operational Risk Management in Banks

Operational Risk by its nature is hidden and embedded in all the activities.

Incidents like the Barings bank, the global financial crisis of 2007-09, Covid-19 and ransomware attacks have reinforced this fact. The root cause of such unexpected losses has been inadequacy or failure of people, processes and technology.

Every organisation develops risk mitigation methodologies to minimise the loss impact. Developing effective risk management tools mandates a thorough understanding of organisational objectives and risk-related events that might affect the achievement of those objectives.

The fast-paced technological changes, data availability and new business models are transforming the way financial services are adapting to the changes and building Operational Resilience.

In this course, we shall endeavour to understand the concept of Operational Risk, how to build operational efficiency through an integrated approach and discuss global best practices.
