Managing operational risks

For many clients avoiding serious risk events and the pressure to comply with regulations are an important reason for developing a company-wide operational risk management. This type of risk management depends on the relevant information being identified locally and then being analysed centrally. Operational risks can be permanently reduced through rigorous measures to identify and combat risk. The prerequisite for a practical operational risk management is a comprehensive evaluation of possible solutions to be implemented. Related topics, such as compliance, internal control system and business continuity management also have to be considered here.
