<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Create real value from operational risk management rather than using a 'tick box' approach with this practical guide filled with frameworks, examples and industry poll results.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Technology failures, data loss, issues with providers of outsourced services, misconduct and mis-selling are just some of the top risks that keep financial firms up at night. In this context effective operational risk management is, simply, a commercial necessity.</b> <p/>The management of operational risk, defined by the Basel Accord as arising from failures of processes, people, systems or external events, has developed considerably since its early years. Continued regulatory focus and catastrophic industry events have led to operational risk becoming a crucial topic on senior management's agenda. This book is a practical guide for practitioners which focuses on how to establish effective solutions and avoid common pitfalls. <p/>Filled with frameworks, examples and diagrams, this book offers clear advice on key practices including conducting risk assessments, assessing change initiatives, designing key risk indicators, establishing scenario analysis, drafting appetite statements and carrying out risk reporting. <b><i>Operational Risk Management in Financial Services</i></b> also features results from polls taken by risk practitioners which provide a snapshot of current practices and allow the reader to benchmark themselves against other firms. This is the essential guide for professionals looking to derive value out of operational risk management, rather than applying a compliance 'tick box' approach.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A must-read from one of the industry's leading figures that provides essential guidance for anyone involved in operational risk.
