Be able to understand the management of risk response approaches 1.Be able to understand the concept of risk management 1.1 - Discuss the meaning of risk to an organisation Good risk management awareness and practice at all levels is a critical success factor for any organisation. Risk is inherent in everything that an organisation does: treating patients, determining service priorities, project management taking decisions about future strategies or even deciding not to take any action at all. Risk management is the process of identifying, quantifying and managing the risks that an organisation faces. As the outcome of business activities are uncertain, they are said to have some element of risk. These risks include strategic failures, operational failures, financial failures, market disruptions, environmental disasters and regulatory violations. When it is impossible that companies remove all risk from the organisation, it is important that they properly understand and manage the risks that they are willing to accept in the context of the overall corporate strategy. The management of the company is primarily responsible for risk management, but the stakeholders; external auditor and other...

Considering that other risk variables remain constant, the foreign currency revaluation sensitivity for the Group and the Bank on their unhedged position. 1% appreciation (-) n 1% depreciation (+) Interpretation of Impact The Group and the Bank measure the foreign exchange sensitivity based on the foreign exchange net open positions (including foreign exchange structural position) under an adverse movement in all foreign currencies against reporting currency (MYR). The result implies that the Group and the Bank may be subject to additional translation (loss)/gain if MYR appreciated/depreciated against other currencies and vice versa. E) Liquidity risk management 1. Liquidity risk management overview -Liquidity management Liquidity is the ability of the Group to fund increases in assets and meet obligations as they come due, without incurring unacceptable losses.

Marylebone Bank is currently holdings investments in five FTSE companies in banking industry, also holdings certain assets of cash and equity. The report sets the bank’s capital requirement with the requirement of Basel Accords in order to build up sustainable positive capital frequently to avoid losses, liabilities and liquidity. Firstly, the report analyzes the risk management under current assets of Marylebone by applying the VaR methods, such as Variance – Covariance, Historical Simulation and Extended Historical Simulation, in order to have criticisms under each method on the effectiveness. The reports will continuously measure and manage each category under Basel Accords regulation: Market Risk, Credit Risk and Operational Risk. Furthermore, all five Basel Accords including: Basel 1(1988 BIS Accord), Basel 1 (1996 Amendment), Basel 2, Basel 2.5 and Basel 3 will be taken into account in order to develop the framework in details. Finally, the report concludes with the core concept of capital, the influences of risk management and capital requirement under the banking regulation using example of the most...

...Basel I The Basel Accords are some of the most influential—and misunderstood—agreements in modern international finance. Drafted in 1988 and 2004, Basel I and II have ushered in a new era of international banking cooperation. Through quantitative and technical benchmarks, both accords have helped harmonize banking supervision, regulation, and capital adequacy standards across the eleven countries of the Basel Group and many other emerging market economies. On the other hand, the very strength of both accords—their quantitative and technical focus—limits the understanding of these agreements within policy circles, causing them to be misinterpreted and misused in many of the world’s political economies. Moreover, even when the Basel accords have been applied accurately and fully, neither agreement has secured long-term stability within a country’s banking sector. Therefore, a full understanding of the rules, intentions, and shortcomings of Basel I and II is essential to assessing their impact on the international financial system. This paper aims to do just that—give a detailed, non-technical assessment of both Basel I and Basel II, and for both developed and emerging markets, show the status, intentions, criticisms, and implications of each accord. Basel I Soon after the creation of the Basel Committee, its eleven member states (known as the G-10) began to discuss a formal standard to ensure the proper capitalization...

...Risk Management Analysis for Air NZ Abstract Recent financial theories argued firms can increase their values through hedging by reducing taxable income, agency cost and the cost of financial distress. This report provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of corporate risk management for the company Air New Zealand. We uses a time series OLS regression model. The fair value of derivatives is used as dependent variable to measure the extent of financial instrument usage.

It shows what the purpose of the project is and it would benefit the company. There would be a good return on investment if the project works out. • 3. Identify a preliminary set of tangible and intangible costs you think would occur for this project and the system it describes. What intangible benefits do you anticipate for the system? The cost would include labor supplies and training. The labor would be to make the software. It would not be easy making a new program from nothing. Also the training the employees have to go though would increase the cost. They would need to get paid for the time they put into the training. • 4. What do you consider to be the risks of the project as you currently understand it? Is this a low-, medium-, or high-risk project? Justify your answer. Assuming you were part of Jim’s team, would you have any particular risks? One risk would be managements chance to stop the project.

This was known as the 1988 Basel Accord, and was enforced by law in the Group of Ten (G-10) countries in 1992 . • Basel I primarily focused on credit risk. Assets of banks were classified and grouped in five categories according to credit risk, carrying risk weights of zero (for example home country sovereign debt), ten, twenty, fifty, and up to one hundred percent (this category has, as an example, most corporate debt). Basel I (continued) • Banks with international presence were required to hold capital equal to 8 % of the risk-weighted assets. • Basel I was then widely viewed as outmoded because the world has changed as financial corporations, financial innovation and risk management have developed. Therefore, a more comprehensive set of guidelines...

...WHAT IS BASEL II? Basel ii is a framework, and the standards it contains have been endorsed by the Central Bank Governors and Heads of Banking Supervision of the Group of Ten countries. It presents the outcome of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s work over recent years to secure international convergence on revisions to supervisory regulations governing the capital adequacy of internationally active banks. Following the publication of the Committee’s first round of proposals for revising the capital adequacy framework in June 1999, an extensive consultative process was set in train in all member countries and the proposals were also circulated to supervisory authorities worldwide. The Committee subsequently released additional proposals for consultation in January 2001 and April 2003 and furthermore conducted three quantitative impact studies related to its proposals. As a result of these efforts, many valuable improvements have been made to the original proposals. The present paper is now a statement of the Committee agreed by all its members. It sets out the details of the agreed Framework for measuring capital adequacy and the minimum standard to be achieved which the national supervisory authorities represented on the Committee will propose for adoption in their respective countries. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is a committee of banking supervisory authorities that was established by the central bank governors of the Group of Ten countries in...

... we will be analysing the project’s major risks that are expected to arise in the future, as well as assessing the likelihood of a successful investment from various aspects, until reaching a final lending decision. In addition, loan portfolio considerations regarding the addition of the new investment will be discussed. 2. Major risks In this part of the report, the 3 major risks involved in the Mozal project are assessed, including political risk, operational risk and market risk. 2.1. Sovereign risk Comparing to other two types of risks, sovereign risk is relatively higher and more important in the Mozal case, with potential expropriation and moral hazard being realistic threats to the project. Mozambique was one of the poorest countries in the world and had only recently emerged from a 17-year civil war that had destroyed most of the country’s infrastructure. The high sovereign risk is reflected in the hurdle rate that amounts to a much higher value than its internal rate of return. Regarding the financing gap of $250m, participation of IFC is essential and could be very beneficial to the project, considering its impact on lending decisions of other commercial banks. However, the board of IFC should not approve the $120 million investment without any justification on protections against political risks. 2.2. Market risk Market risk is the risk that the value of an investment will decrease due to the change in the market risk factors such as foreign exchange rate, interest...
