The current crisis has exposed failings of risk management


Risk management practices

Internal factors

Business and strategy Lack of understanding of risk / return dynamics Unchallenged and weak assumptions Flawed incentive structures Duplicative infrastructures efficiency quests

Siloed risk management and reporting Backward-looking; g data-driven models Reporting not fit for purpose Correlations and dependencies not fully understood

Financial Crisis

Regulatory frameworks

External factors

Market discipline Lack of transparency Over reliance on rating agencies Inadequate infrastructure Complex products

Lack of systemic oversight Unregulated markets Weak capital and liquidity standards

The current financial crisis calls for fundamental changes in the way banks identify, identify assess, manage and communicate financial performance and risk. With a risk-and-return oriented view, banks will be able to select customers more effectively, make better product and pricing decisions, operate more efficiently and report to stakeholders with greater confidence confidence.

Current environment in risk management


Risk management spend has increased significantly in the last decade due to expansion of regulatory compliance requirements The number of risk functions has increased to keep up with these compliance requirements 73% of companies have seven or more separate risk functions The coverage and focus of risk functions has become increasingly difficult to manage 67% of companies reported they have overlapping risk coverage with two or more risk functions 50% of companies reported gaps in their coverage between risk functions 96% of companies p agree g there are opportunities pp to improve p their risk management efforts Companies believe efficiencies can be gained in their risk management activities Companies p want improved p risk coverage g while balancing g cost and value

Every few years I think the reports should be thrown out and started again. One day, Id like to stop sending a risk report out and see if anyone notices: save some trees.

What does the term convergence mean?

The industry sometimes uses the terms enterprise risk management (ERM) and risk convergence interchangeably. Ernst & Young believes the two terms are distinct. distinct

ERM exists to help the board set the objectives for risk management and enable decisions to be made strategically and operationally across the enterprise within defined parameters of risk tolerance. Risk convergence considers the functions and framework built for ERM and seeks k t to address dd inefficiencies i ffi i i and d opportunities t iti t to maximize i i th the cost tb benefit fit to risk management of performing certain processes. In other words risk convergence seeks to refine the target operating model and find practical ways to coordinate, align and ultimately implement process improvement.

The aim is to help the risk organization reach the next level one that can manage and control costs, mitigate risk and support strategic d i i decision-making. ki

Risk Convergence Maturity Model where are you?


Increasing maturity
Current State Level 1 Certain level of autonomy within BUs or segments to set policy No clearly defined risk appetite or strategy by Board or committees No segregation of duties Coordination Phase Level 2 Policies inventoried and policy setting owners identified Risk appetite and strategy defined by Board and committees Segregation of duties identified Alignment Phase Level 3 Corporate and BU policies formally aligned Risk appetite and strategy aligned across BUs Segregation of duties aligned across BUs Integration Phase Level 4 Policies aligned, but not consistently applied across organization Escalation of limit breaches and key decisions to appropriate committees and the Board Corporate and BU organizational charts communicated but not fully communicated, operational Roles and responsibilities operating in practice as defined Risk and control processes integrated across BUs Standardized core processes Integrate risk and control reporting across BUs and functions

Leading practice
Converged Level 5 Policy set at corporate level and approved by Board Assessment and decision making around risk appetite ingrained in business as usual activities Coordinated risk management and compliance efforts Single view of the organization Clearly identified risk and control owners including hand-offs owners, Scope is comprehensive and not overlapping

Policy P li & Governance Structure

Organization & People

Multiple, inconsistent views on the organizational structure No clearly defined roles and responsibilities Scope set by each function varies

Multiple, inconsistent views on the organizational structure No clearly defined roles and Organizational charts Corporate and BU responsibilities inventoried and in the process of organizational charts aligned being rationalized Roles and responsibilities of Scope S set t by b each function ti and BUs defined Roles and responsibilities for BUh f corporate personnel in the process of and documented varies being defined and documented
Risk and control processes and rating methodologies inventoried Risk and control reporting metrics rationalized and business requirements developed Risk and control processes and rating methodology rationalized and aligned Risk and reporting metrics aligned across risk functions

Processes & Activities

Multiple risk and control assessment processes, each with own measurement of risk Limited analysis of output, periodic reporting of mostly flat risk and control data

Common measurement of risk and IT infrastructure integrated control at both BU and entity level Effective periodic reporting Common reporting p g tools of aggregated risks (inherent and residual), trends, supporting data implemented for (losses, KRIs) to drive risk appetite decisions of report standardization Data warehouse concept with shared risk and control attributes and information Robust and flexible MI system to support assessment process and drive reports.

Technology

Fragmented IT infrastructure with limited interfacing and significant manual vetting and reconciliation of data Various reporting engines delivering disparate risk and control assessment output

IT infrastructure inventoried Reports and reporting engines inventoried

Infrastructure in the process of being integrated Reporting tools in the process of being integrated

IT infrastructure integrated Common reporting tools implemented for standardization of report

Data Model

Each function has own data structure High level of autonomy to define risks and controls within the business units or segments no efficient translation method

Source systems indentified Risk and control definitions identified

Alignment of data structure and source systems in process Common risk taxonomy initiative underway

Integrate data structure and source systems Consolidation of risk and control language risk library owned at corporate level.

Data structure allows for BU customization but supports organizational roll-up. Risks and controls owned by BU. Map existing BU risks to list of highlevel risks defined by corporate

Assurance & Validation

Multiple functions perform assurance and validation activities Various structures and methodologies around process and controls documentation and testing

Common methodology and structure for assurance and validation activities identified

Integrated validation policy and procedures developed

Validation policy finalized and procedures deployed Methodology and structure implemented

Assurance and validation activities performed on a coordinated/leveraged basis, perhaps by one single function/utility One structure and methodology for assurance and validation activities

Define and confirm future state: Risk identification and assessment


Current State Cost = $1,200,000
Current State Risks Ri k are identified id tifi d and d assessed d within ithi 18 areas of f th the b business i Risk teams identify and assess risks The estimated combined effort of risk identification and assessments is 2,496 man days p.a / 9.6 FTEs/$1,200,000 cost p.a. The liaison between the business and the 2nd line is via the risk coordinator. This role is performed by individuals of varying skills and grades across the business The Th current t risk i k register i t i is reviewed i dt to see if risks i k should h ld b be added dd d or removed d as part of the quarterly assessment process
Future State Recommendations The proposed future state is based on the fundamental reengineering of the risk identification and assessment process Risk identification and assessment is focused on the riskiest areas of the business business, in low risk areas, to adopt a fix on failure approach Reduce the number of risk registers from 18 to 9, with 2 areas requiring extensive control assessments and the remaining areas to incorporate their key risks in scenario analysis Risk registers focused on risk events and are categorized into financial and non-financial risks Risk assessment is focused on financial impact with a weighing to take account of regulatory or customer impact Identification and assessment activity should be carried out by the advisory team with input from RM standards and the Monitoring & Analysis teams Future State FTE's Business Risk Coordinators 1 0.7 $570,000 Cost
