3 WHO WE ARE MANAGING COMPLEXITY AND CHANGE IN A CONNECTED RISK SOLUTION Risk is a key component of strategy. In an increasingly volatile business and regulatory environment, leading organizations are seeking an intelligence-led approach to understanding risk and embedding risk management into their business strategy. The scale of the complexity and the pace of change that organizations are facing is without precedent. To view individual risks through different lenses, including structure, strategy, and finance, organizations are connecting the collation of risk information to powerful analysis capabilities. Thomson Reuters Accelus Risk Manager is a powerful, connected solution for understanding, analyzing, and acting on operational and enterprise risk information. Accelus Risk Manager enables organizations to establish a framework for risk based on their risk appetite. Accelus Risk Manager captures information such as incidents, indicators, assessment responses and scenario analysis data. The solution provides risk managers with the insight to analyze risk through the lenses of their organization s various structures and reporting lines using a powerful search capability so that both the cause and effect of a risk can be fully understood. Accelus Risk Manager, with its dynamic user interface, also empowers executives to actively manage risks across the business, track the tasks others are expected to perform and report status to key stakeholders. The information contained in the solution can be linked to key deliverables in an organization s risk appetite framework, enabling a holistic approach to measuring and managing risk. Risk data housed in Accelus Risk Manager can power Monte Carlo simulations for operational risk economic and regulatory captial modeling, various forms of statistical analyisis and stress tests to help executives better communicate with regulators and to understand the challenges their business faces.

4 WHAT WE DO A SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH ABOUT RISK Thomson Reuters Accelus Risk Manager is a fully integrated solution all of the information collected in its range of modules and from across the wider Accelus platform are held within a single data source. This provides management with one, connected view of risk across the organization, creating a unique perspective on current challenges. For example, a user can explore a single risk and see the losses associated with it, view assessment results and indicator data, and understand the controls, processes, and other framework elements associated with it. The connected nature of the solution also means that it can enhance an organization s view of the benefits of risk taking and the search for wider opportunities. 4 ACCELUS RISK MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

6 HOW WE WORK PUTTING PEOPLE AT THE HEART OF RISK MANAGEMENT At the center of the Accelus Risk Manager design is a belief that organizations which understand their risk environment are much better placed to deliver on their strategic business goals. The solution enables organizations to improve the way they collect information about the risks they face, analyze that information and then act to improve the way risk is managed. In Accelus Risk Manager, organizations are: Communicating Effectively with Key Stakeholders - Accelus Risk Manager dashboards display the information risk managers want and need to know, to provoke conversations and planning with the wider organization. The new user interface enables these dashboards to tell their story in an even more compelling way. Advanced visualization charts will show, for example, how risk varies by legal entity across a map of the world. Accelerating the Dialogue on Risk Appetite - Accelus Risk Manager s Assessment module enables organizations to build structured assessments, from a simple check-list to complex surveys with scoring and calculations embedded. All assessments are stored in the module s library, so individual questions or entire assessments can be repeated, to aid the consistent tracking of individual risks. In addition individual questions and whole assessments can be linked directly to the organization s various risk, control and process taxonomies. Capturing Their Organization s Risk Story - All organizations make mistakes, but it is the job of the operational risk manager to help their own organization to learn from them. Accelus Risk Manager s Incident Tracking module helps operational risk managers analyze their losses, and by doing so enables the organization to better articulate the challenges that it faces. Monitoring the Risk Environment - To ensure that senior management has visibility on potential problems as early as possible, Accelus Risk Manager monitors real-time indicators whether they are Key Risk Indicators, Key Control Indicators, or the organization s own framework. Feeds from within Thomson Reuters Accelus and the organization s wider systems provide a connected, immediate view of risk. Understanding the Impact of Risk Choices - Modeling operational risk can seem difficult and complicated, but it doesn t have to be. Accelus Risk Manager s Quantification module uses the solution s data directly there is no exporting. Data to be modeled is selected easily using search, and within seconds a risk manager will have performed Basel II Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) capital modeling, Monte Carlo simulations, operational risk stress tests or other business or regulatory modeling. Creating a New Way to Approach Challenges - Understanding risk is just the first step in enabling risk managers to collaborate with their counterparts across the business, to work together to solve challenges. Accelus Risk Manager s Action Tracking module provides a collaborative environment for risk managers and the business. Action plans and tasks can be created and assigned by any user given permission to do so. Information from the solutution, including risks, controls, processes, incidents, assessments, and indicators can be attached to action items so that individuals working on a particular task have access to the relevant materials they need. 6 ACCELUS RISK MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
