Mastering Operational Risk Training - Workshop Day 2 (PowerPoint PPTX Slide Deck)
PowerPoint (PPTX) + Zip archive file (ZIP) 116 Slides
RISK MANAGEMENT PPT DESCRIPTION
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.
This 116-slide PowerPoint is the day 2 presentation taken from a 2-day workshop called "Mastering Operational Risk – Theory & Practice (ORM in Financial Institutions)." This presentation includes the following key sections:
• Business Continuity Management (BCM)
• Corporate Loss Database
• Workshop: Developing OR framework
• Workshop: Defining Key Risk Indicators (KRI)
• Measuring and Managing Operational Risk
• Workshop: Conducting RCSA
The training workshop presentation is designed for both aspiring and active Risk officers, VPs, MDs, heads of departments, CFOs, CRO, analysts, Operational and Risk Management staff from financial services industry – banks, insurance companies, pension funds, consultancies, software vendors operating in these sectors. It will be also useful for a Risk Manager operating in a nonfinancial sector, as well as for interim Risk Managers and consultants who want to get up to speed with a new or current risk assignment.
This product also includes 2 supplemental documents:
• Quiz/Self-assessment (Word document)
• Risk glossary (Word document)

Executive Summary
The "Mastering Operational Risk Training - Workshop Day 2" presentation is designed for financial institutions aiming to enhance their Operational Risk Management (ORM) capabilities. Developed by Boris Agranovich, a recognized leader in risk management, this workshop builds on insights from collaborations with major organizations like Citibank and Capgemini. Participants will engage in practical workshops covering critical frameworks such as Business Continuity Management (BCM), Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), and Risk Control Self-Assessments (RCSAs). This comprehensive training equips executives and consultants with the tools to effectively measure, manage, and mitigate operational risks in alignment with regulatory standards.

FAQ
What is the purpose of a Corporate Loss Database?
A CLD captures historical loss data to identify and assess operational risks, providing a foundation for risk quantification and management.
How can we ensure our BCM strategy is effective?
An effective BCM strategy should be regularly reviewed and tested to ensure it meets the organization’s continuity requirements during disruptions.
What are Key Risk Indicators (KRIs)?
KRIs are metrics used to monitor risk levels and provide early warning signals for potential operational issues.
What is the significance of conducting RCSAs?
RCSAs help organizations identify risks and evaluate the effectiveness of controls, ensuring proactive risk management.
How often should we review our operational risk framework?
The operational risk framework should be reviewed regularly, especially in response to significant changes in the business environment or regulatory landscape.
What role does technology play in ORM?
Technology supports data collection, analysis, and reporting, enhancing the effectiveness of risk management processes.
How can we customize the training for our organization?
The training can be tailored to reflect specific organizational processes, risks, and regulatory requirements, ensuring relevance and applicability.
