...SCOREl Operational risk An operational risk scorecard approach Operational risk scorecards have been in the spotlight since the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s 2001 paper on op risk treatment under Basel II. In the first of two articles, Ulrich Anders and Michael Sandstedt of Dresdner Bank examine what, specifically, these systems seek to accomplish – and what implementing them entails he analysis of operational risk is a relatively new area, though it is increasingly essential. From market and credit risk it can easily be understood what risk is and how it can be assessed – market risk results from the market portfolio of the company, credit risk results from the credit portfolio of the company. But what do we want to assess in operational risk? Operational risk is the risk of a loss resulting from inadequacies or failures in processes due to technology, personnel, organisation or external factors.1 What is being assessed, therefore, is the business processes of the company that are operational therein. Compared with the market or credit portfolios of the company, the business processes of the company could also be called the operational portfolio. Once we have assessed the business processes of the company, we need to report on the results. The appropriate way to do this is via an operational risk scorecard. Many reports are called scorecards. They all use scores to reflect a particular situation. For example, the famous Balanced Scorecard2 is, in simple terms...

...uncertainty that was created, Lagerfield felt personal acquisition of wealth and comfort were not the keys that lead to taking a more realistic view of the future, but the ideology of risk management brought about the need to forgo the frivolous waste of resources. The evolution of risk management in its infancy stages derived from the environmental shift that occurred in response to those catastrophic events such as the Great Depression, Three Mile Island, and the devastation of technological failure noted during the launch and disintegration of the Challenger to name a few. Although the ladder that lead to a full paradigm shift in the way in which cause and effect were viewed; the need to gain a better understanding of appropriately managing risk became paramount. Dun and Renner (2008) believed “the strategies to manage risk typically include transferring the risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reducing the negative effect or probability of the risk, or even accepting some or all of the potential or actual consequences of a particular risk.” Prior to the 20th Centuries focus on identifying cause and effect of historically devastating events, the status quo of uncertainty remained. The most noted events of the 20th century that lead to the need for assessing, identifying, and prioritizing risk, allowed organizations to formulate guidelines and/or procedures to identify the root cause and adjust their practices in...
