Operational Resilience - A New Age of Reason?

The financial sector has developed pioneering business continuity capabilities and innovative incident management solutions. By and large, these capabilities have stood the test of time in that they have delivered operational continuity through very challenging events which we analyze in the paper.  The digitalization of customer channels, the growth of cyber threats and the risk of abrupt changes in political and legislative environments will inevitably challenge resilience in new ways. At every step, difficult questions, unpleasant scenarios considered and probably unpalatable decisions may be taken. Ultimately, their success or failure in these enterprises will boil down not only to their footprints or strategies but also skillsets, culture, and leadership. In our latest paper, we explore the latest developments in operational resilience, from regulatory updates to latest best practices.

Cybersecurity and Financial Institutions

April 6, 2021

The issue of cybersecurity has recently gained global attention in many circles from the legitimacy of US elections, the widespread hacks of both companies and units of government around the world, and the lucrative criminal enterprise of wholesale theft of billions of dollars from financial institutions.

In this online event, we will address both the big picture of cyber risk and the practical policies financial institutions can implement to reduce the dangers themselves and their clients from this ongoing theat.

Risk Culture in Times of Great Uncertainty - Part 1

March 11, 2021

The success of any process and system is reliant on the perceptions, actions and practices of employees, thus a “cultural mindset” should be pre-defined this includes outlining and inculcating the rules of engagement. Larger organisations tend to face challenges in discerning cultural changes perpetuated by the development of sub-cultures within various business divisions. A greater need to exhibit how risk culture can be effectively controlled and measured across more complex organisations is presented. This requires a clear understanding of risk culture, its benefits, how maturity can be determined and demonstrated as well as possible causes of failure in this very critical aspect of risk management.
