27 Definition - Bundesbank s methodology of ORM, crisis management and BCM Operational Risk Management ORM is the overall process for early identification, handling and monitoring of risks ORM includes business risks and OR ORM gives an overview on all risks and helps to decide which risks are acceptable and which not (risk tolerance /risk appetite) ORM has preventive character Focus: risks emerging from conducting the business Crisis Management CM is the ability of an organisation to respond to any crisis situation in a predefined way CM includes a tool box with organisational and technical utilities to support management (BCP is one of these tools ) CM has mainly reactive character Business Continuity Management BCM identifies potential threats to an organisation and the impacts to its most critical functions BCM put an organisation in a position to manage permanent continuity or adequate recovery of critical functions in the event of crisis situations in a predefined way. BCM has mainly reactive character; Focus: risks that endanger the object of a company Seite 27

28 Definition Risk Management Risk management is a logical and systematic method of identifying, analysing, treating and monitoring risks. Risk management system Early identification of risks Handling of risks Monitoring of risks Identification of risks Evaluation of risks Communication of risks Controls Internal audit 28

29 Definitions Risk = adverse variance from a reference figure Operational Risk = the risk of direct or indirect loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events Transversal Risk = risk which can occur cross-functional and effect several business areas 29

30 Definitions Transversal Risks some examples: risks related to corruption risks related to compliance risks related to data protection risks related to general/ physical security risks related to money laundering risks related to IT risks related to employees risks related to media/ public relations 30

31 Definitions Inherent Risk = risk situation without taking any treatment measures into consideration Residual Risk = risk situation considering implemented treatment measures 31

32 Factors of influence financial impact reputational impact by example to review the RM set up damage to persons crisis 2004 recommendations of internal & external auditors legal background 32

33 The Framework Implementation after the approval by the board in March 2006 published to the staff via intranet Contents Aims and structure of the framework Legal background Definitions Aims and functions of risk management Risk culture Expertises and responsibilities Risk structure Risk management process Early identification of risks Identification of risks Risk evaluation Communication of risks Handling of risks Monitoring of risks 33

35 Governance structure of the Bundesbank Responsibilities The Executive Board has the overall responsibility for the management of risks is basically responsible for decision making approves a risk tolerance policy and residual risks in specific risk zone receiver of aggregated risk reports 35

36 Governance structure of the Bundesbank Business areas are responsible for the according to their tasks overall the whole Bundesbank (decentralisation) The heads of departments are responsible for the identification, assessment and mitigation of their own risks. They have an informal relationship with the risk management office. In some areas, such as the risk management of foreign reserves and other portfolios, IT- security and general security, related tasks are performed by central work units. 36

37 Governance structure of the Bundesbank Office for Risk Control Department Financial Stability Area V Department This unit is dealing with market risks such as currency risks, interest rate risks, counterparty risks and liquidity risks.

43 Risk structure Reputational loss Financial loss Damage to persons Business Risks Operational Risks Currency Risks Interest Rate Risks Counterparty Risks Liquidity Risks Gold price Risks Employee Risks Human Failures Incorrect Conduct Misallocation Of Staff Inadequate Qualification Of Staff Technical Risks IT Risks Critical Infrastructure External Risks Primary Maintenance Risks Dependencies On Third Parties Negative Press Coverage Legal Risks Natural Risks General Security Risks 43

44 Risk Management Process 1. Identification of risks Task of business areas Identification should be output oriented with regard to the underlying task Root causes have also to be identified and documented Helpful information could be gathered from: Audit reports (internal as well as external) Test reports (IT-systems) Incident data bases 44

45 Risk Management Process 2. Risk Assessment As a basic principle, a risk at the Deutsche Bundesbank can result in the following three categories of losses: Financial loss Damage to persons Reputational loss Each of these categories is evaluated for each risk partly in a qualitative and partly in a quantitative way Risk Event = Probability of loss occuring Event X Impact Event 45

46 Risk assessment grading scales Risk likelihood grading scale Likelihood level Criteria 5 - Almost certain 4 - Likely 3 - Possible 2 - Unlikely 1 - Rare Frequency of loss events Every year or more Once every 1-2 years Once every 2-5 years Once every 5-10 years Less than once every 10 years If no observable events: Qualitative criteria (fraud and attacks oriented) Motivation Personal gain... Attracting attention ( making a point ) Skills & knowledge Basic skills, sufficient, knowledge not necessary Collaboration Traceability Time and cost <1 day < EUR 100 > 1 year > EUR

47 Risk assessment grading scales Impact Level Definition Level Definition Very high * high medium Very high high medium Numerous deaths Individual deaths Life-threatening injuries low negligible low negligible Major injuries Minor injuries financial impact personal injuries 47

48 Risk assessment grading scales Impact Level Very high high Definition The occurrence of an event can endanger the Bank's security for a lengthy period or cause critical damage to its interests. Examples: Criminal proceedings against individual members of the Bundesbank's governing bodies The occurrence of an event can endanger the Bank's security or cause major damage to its interests. Examples: medium low negligible The occurrence of an event can be of disadvantage to the Bank's interests. Examples: reputational impact 48

49 Risk tolerance policy Likelihood of loss occurring Almost certain rare unlikely possible likely Impact on overall loss negligible low medium high very high 49

50 Risk Management Process 3. Risk Treatment Policy of risk avoidance and risk limitation while implementing preventive measures Principles e.g. : Principle of hierarchy Editorial principle (to use a second set of eyes) Principle of separation of functions Principle that tasks, competences and responsibilities should be located within the same entity 50

51 risk Risk and threat analysis Actual risk position Risk avoidance Concept of measures Insurances are only used in law driven issues Approval of the Executive Board Preventive measures Usually, there is no risk transfer Residual risk 51

52 Risk Management Process 4. Communication of risks Risk reporting within the business areas Report within business area (hierarchy) Periodical reports (e.g. daily report of market risks) Ad-hoc reporting if necessary Centralised risk reporting Notification of loss Security relevant matters Compliance, money laundering, corruption Major projects... Centralised annual risk report 52

53 Centralised annual risk report Annual risk report according to our risk management framework The business areas have to examine their risk assessment. The results were aggregated from the ERM Office. Report to the board and feedback to the business areas The board has to decide whether additional mitigation measures should be taken or not. 53

54 RMS at the Bundesbank Structure of the ORM template 54

55 Risk Management Process 5. Monitoring of risks Monitoring is part of the internal supervision by the head of each unit responsibility of business areas no formal KRI in place no centralised monitoring 55
