RISK MANAGEMENT PPT SLIDES

Key Risks in Private and Merchant Banking

This PPT slide outlines significant risks in private and merchant banking, focusing on various fraud types and their implications. Internal payments fraud and embezzlement stem from governance issues, process design flaws, and potential criminal intent, leading to write-downs, restitution costs, regulatory fines, and legal liabilities. Unauthorized lending by internal staff shares similar drivers and consequences, emphasizing financial and reputational damage. Inappropriate lending due to credit process failures, particularly in customer due diligence, is driven by governance, process design, and personnel expertise, with consistent impacts across risks. External theft and fraud involve criminal intent and external events, resulting in replacement costs, write-downs, and legal repercussions. Comprehensive security measures are essential to mitigate these multifaceted risks.

Structured Approach to Operational Risk Identification

A structured top-down framework identifies, assesses, and mitigates operational risks through interviews with 20 to 30 senior managers, generating approximately 350 relevant risks. The risks are mapped by business unit, risk type, and underlying drivers, creating a visual representation that highlights risk concentrations. This mapping informs strategic planning and performance reviews, integrating risk considerations into business objectives. Key risk themes are aligned with group-wide standards for themed reporting, leading to a refined "Top 20" risks list for mitigation strategies and board reporting. The framework links with bottom-up compliance initiatives, such as loss data and risk control self-assessments (RCSAs), ensuring a holistic view of risk management that enhances organizational resilience.

Key Compliance and Legal Risks Overview

This PPT slide outlines significant compliance and legal risks categorized into 3 areas: regulatory burden, fraud and theft, and errors in legal documents. The regulatory burden is driven by human capital allocation and external service provider involvement, leading to increased operational costs and reputational damage from non-compliance. Fraud and theft risks stem from governance and accountability issues, with vulnerable processes resulting in financial losses and legal repercussions. Errors in legal documents also highlight governance and oversight as critical factors, leading to financial write-downs and legal liabilities. Past events from major financial institutions exemplify these risks, underscoring the need for robust internal controls and meticulous document management.

Key Financial Risks and Their Implications

This PPT slide outlines significant risks in finance and risk management, categorized into wrongful external disclosure, deliberate wrongful external disclosure, and increased compliance burden. Wrongful external disclosure risks stem from governance, processes, and human capital, leading to costs from external staff, restitution to customers, and regulatory fines. Deliberate wrongful external disclosure emphasizes ownership and accountability, with implications including financial burdens from external staff and legal liabilities. Increased compliance burden identifies human capital and external service providers as drivers, resulting in additional costs for regulatory compliance, overtime expenses, and fines. These risks highlight the need for robust governance and proactive risk mitigation strategies.

Framework for Managing Customer-Centric Risk Appetite

This PPT slide outlines a risk management framework focused on managing risk appetite across business units. Key areas include Product Design and Marketing, Distribution, Customer Complaints, Compliance, and Reporting. Principles emphasize fair treatment of customers, adherence to regulations, and brand integrity. In Product Design, products must be fair, and marketing must accurately represent risks. The Distribution section highlights accountability and compliance checks to prevent misleading customers. Customer Complaints stress timely resolution and ownership, reflecting a proactive customer service approach. Compliance ensures adherence to regulations and proactive issue management. Reporting commitments focus on transparency and maintaining thorough records to build customer trust.

Key Risks and Impacts in Asset Management

This PPT slide outlines significant risks in asset management: internal fraud, rogue fund management, and mis-selling practices. Internal fraud, driven by governance issues like ownership accountability and segregation of duties, leads to financial write-downs, costs for external consultants, and regulatory fines. Rogue fund management, particularly unauthorized trading, shares similar governance drivers and can result in substantial financial liabilities and reputational damage. Mis-selling practices towards retail investors arise from governance lapses and inadequate process design, with impacts including write-downs and regulatory fines. Enhanced training and expertise among staff are necessary to prevent errors and ensure compliance. Comprehensive governance frameworks and effective processes are essential to mitigate these multifaceted risks in asset management.

External Theft and Fraud Risks in Retail Banking

This PPT slide outlines significant risks in retail banking, focusing on external theft and fraud. It categorizes these risks into 2 types: external theft/robbery from branches and transports, and external electronic theft, including hacking and phishing. External theft leads to write-downs of stolen assets, replacement costs, overtime for staff managing the aftermath, customer compensation for compromised funds, regulatory fines, and legal fees. Similarly, external electronic theft incurs write-downs, replacement costs, and necessitates in-house controls against cyber threats. Both risk types can result in substantial legal expenses and regulatory penalties. Historical incidents illustrate the tangible impacts of these risks on financial institutions, highlighting the need for robust risk management strategies in retail banking.

Identifying and Mitigating Global Market Risks

This PPT slide outlines significant risks in global markets, categorized into external theft, mis-selling or incorrect advice, and product design/launch risk. For external theft, drivers include governance, processes, people, and systems, with impacts such as financial losses from asset replacement and legal liabilities, emphasizing the need for robust security protocols. Mis-selling risks highlight governance and human capital, with potential financial repercussions including write-downs and regulatory fines, underscoring the necessity for accurate information dissemination and training. Product design/launch risks also stress governance and accountability, with impacts including financial losses and reputational damage, crucial in the consulting space. Effective risk management requires prioritizing governance, skilled personnel, and processes.

Enhancing Risk Analysis through Scenario Methodology

Scenario analysis enhances understanding and reporting of significant organizational risks, including direct losses like fines and indirect impacts such as staff time misuse. Reputational risk is categorized as high, indicating consequences extend beyond financial implications. A structured risk management approach includes key steps: determining methods and assumptions, data administration, communicating assumptions, performing valuations, and submitting results. Each step is essential for accuracy in risk assessment, with associated risks and controls highlighted to mitigate potential pitfalls. Existing strengths include independent reviews and investigations into new legislation, while improvement suggestions focus on refining investigation scopes and increasing review frequency for better outcomes. The data section illustrates real-world implications of discussed risks, grounding recommendations in practical scenarios, ultimately guiding organizations to enhance risk analysis capabilities and reporting mechanisms.

Assessment and Mitigation of IT Risk Areas

This PPT slide categorizes IT risk areas by assignment and severity, assigning numerical ratings to indicate urgency. User Access is a high-risk area due to access management concerns on critical infrastructure, with proposed remediation measures due by December 2020. Platform Security is medium risk, focusing on system upgrades and ongoing control assessments. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery are high risk, highlighting regulatory compliance deficiencies, with a proposed disaster recovery plan to enhance operational resilience. Change Management is high risk, necessitating a structured process, while Sourcing is medium risk, requiring compliance with protocols. Security Monitoring is low risk, but still needs enhanced application security monitoring.

Key HR Risks: Governance and Fraud Analysis

This PPT slide outlines significant HR risks: safe environment, fraud through embezzlement, and unauthorized trading. The "Safe environment" risk highlights governance drivers like ownership, accountability, oversight, and human errors, with implications including replacement costs and regulatory fines. Notable past events from HSBC and Grupo Santander illustrate these risks. The "Fraud – Embezzlement" section emphasizes the need for robust processes and accountability, with implications of financial write-downs and regulatory fines, citing incidents involving banks. The "Fraud – Unauthorized/rogue/insider trading" section mirrors previous content, focusing on governance and process design, with similar implications and examples from financial institutions. Organizations must prioritize governance and process integrity to mitigate financial and reputational damage.

Identifying Key Risks in Credit Management

This PPT slide outlines significant risks in credit risk management, categorized into calculation errors and model methodology or algorithm errors. Calculation errors arise from drivers like process design, implementation, and human capital issues, leading to financial repercussions such as consultant overtime, restitution costs, regulatory fines, and legal liabilities. The National Australia Bank incident illustrates the real-world impact of these risks, highlighting the challenge of distinguishing between data errors and other issues. Model methodology errors share similar drivers and can also result in substantial financial liabilities and regulatory scrutiny. A robust process and skilled personnel are essential to mitigate these risks, emphasizing the need for organizations to assess their processes and invest in human capital to avoid past pitfalls.

Critical IT Risks and Their Business Implications

This PPT slide outlines significant IT-related risks for organizations, focusing on 3 scenarios. The first risk involves a rogue employee with access rights, potentially causing substantial damage to systems and critical data, leading to costs for data recovery, regulatory fines for breaches, and legal expenses from privacy lawsuits. The second risk is mis-selling due to systematic errors in financial modeling, resulting in financial losses from defaulting clients and highlighting the need for robust risk management. Lastly, the theft of confidential data by employees can lead to regulatory fines and loss of customer trust, with banks facing reputational damage and revenue decline despite compensating clients for losses. Organizations must proactively address these IT vulnerabilities to safeguard operations and maintain stakeholder confidence.

Key Risks in Pension and Life Insurance Management

This PPT slide outlines significant risks in the pension and life insurance sectors, categorized into 3 areas: mis-selling practices, product design and launch risks, and model errors. Mis-selling risks arise from inappropriate sales practices and misleading documentation, leading to potential write-downs, regulatory fines, and legal liabilities. Product design and launch risks emphasize ownership and accountability in governance, where inadequate processes and personnel errors can cause financial losses and regulatory scrutiny. Model errors relate to actuarial valuation and data integrity issues, with flawed methodologies resulting in operational disruptions and financial penalties. This structured approach highlights the interconnectedness of governance, processes, and human factors in effective risk management strategies.
