OPERATIONAL AUDITING

By

TOMMY SEAH FCPA, CFE, ACIB, MSID, Member IBBM

Operational risk according to the Basle Committee specifically, is defined as ‘the risk of loss resulting from
inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events’.

This is a very wide definition, which includes legal risk but excludes strategic and reputational risk.

The Committee emphasises that the precise approach chosen by a bank in the management

of its operational risks depends on many different factors (size, level of sophistication,

nature and complexity of operations, etc.). Nevertheless, it provides a more precise

definition by adding that despite these differences, clear strategies supervised by the board

of directors and management committee, a solid ‘operational risk’ and ‘internal control’

culture (including among other things clearly defined responsibilities and demarcation of

tasks), internal reporting, and plans for continuity8 following a highly damaging event,

are all elements of paramount importance in an effective operational risk management

structure for banks, regardless of their size and environment.

Program Focus : Although the definition of operational risk varies de facto between financial institutions,

it is still a certainty that some types of event, as listed by the Committee, have the potential

to create substantial losses:

• Internal fraud (for example, insider trading of an employee’s own account).

• External fraud (such as forgery).

• Workplace safety.

• All matters linked to customer relations (for example, money laundering).

• Physical damage to buildings (terrorism, vandalism etc.).

• Telecommunication problems and system failures.

• Process management (input errors, unsatisfactory legal documentation etc.).
