Operational risk
Operational risk is the largest risk exposure many organisations face, but it is also one of the hardest to identify, measure and mitigate. Brought centre stage by the financial crisis of 2007–08, operational risk is once again under the spotlight following the Covid-19 pandemic, which has tested operational resiliency like never before. Risk.net showcases the latest techniques and best practices for addressing myriad operational risks from fraud detection and anti-money laundering to cyber security and technology risk. It also covers important themes such as bank supervision, approaches to identifying risk in business processes, building resiliency and avoiding systemic risk.
