Mastering Operational Risk Training - Workshop Day 1 (PowerPoint PPTX Slide Deck)

Operational Risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, and systems or from external events. It is perhaps the most significant risk organizations face. Virtually every major loss that has taken place during the past 30 years, from Enron, Worldcom and Baring's Bank to the unauthorized trading incident at Société Générale and the subprime credit crisis, has been driven by operational failures.

Many financial institutions have spent millions of dollars trying to develop a robust framework for measuring and managing Operational Risk. Yet, in spite of this huge investment, for many organizations, developing a viable Operational Risk Management (ORM) program remains an elusive goal.

ORM involves the systematic assessment of potential operational risks, the implementation of controls to mitigate or eliminate those risks, and the continuous monitoring of the effectiveness of those controls. ORM is an important part of overall Risk Management and helps organizations to identify, evaluate, and prioritize risks in order to make informed decisions about how to allocate resources and implement controls to manage those risks. ORM is applicable to a wide range of organizations and industries, including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and government agencies.
