A comprehensive and innovative look at how to protect financial institutions from operational risks Operational risk is the risk associated with human error, systems failures, and inadequate controls and procedures in information systems or internal controls that will result in an unexpected loss. According to a recent survey, about seventy percent of banks consider operational risk as important as market or credit risks. Nearly a quarter of the same banks admit to operation-related losses of more than $1.6 million-many cases are so embarrassing that banks will not actually admit any error on their part. Firms are just beginning to develop their own operational risk management systems and they need guidance on how to do it. This book will help them identify, measure, and manage their operational risks. Christopher Marshall (Singapore) is Associate Director of the Center for Financial Engineering at the National University of Singapore. He has written numerous articles in Risk magazine and Harvard Business School cases.

Until about twenty years ago, the consensus view on the cause of financial-system distress was fairly simple: a run on one bank could easily turn to a panic involving runs on all banks, destroying some and disrupting the financial system. Since then, however, a series of events—such as emerging-market debt crises, bond-market meltdowns, and the Long-Term Capital Management episode—has forced a rethinking of the risks facing financial institutions and the tools available to measure and manage these risks. The Risks of Financial Institutions examines the various risks affecting financial institutions and explores a variety of methods to help institutions and regulators more accurately measure and forecast risk. The contributors--from academic institutions, regulatory organizations, and banking--bring a wide range of perspectives and experience to the issue. The result is a volume that points a way forward to greater financial stability and better risk management of financial institutions.
