Despite twenty years of endeavor, it’s thumbs down for the banks’ approach to operational risk management. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has abandoned the flagship advanced measurement approach (AMA) – the inhouse models banks use to calculate regulatory capital – and C-suite executives wonder what possible business value can be derived from subjective, non aggregatable, color-coded, risk & control self-assessments.

 

In this book Peter examines how the banking sector lost its way in the area of operational risk management and gives his own thoughts on the next generation risk and accounting tools and techniques that will resolve many of the issues banks currently face and optimally position them to meet both the known and unknown challenges that lie ahead.

Readers of his book will be equally fortunate to benefit from his expert knowledge of the subject matter that he presents in such an engaging and practical way. Most importantly, readers will obtain the tools and techniques to resolve one of the industry’s most elusive and longest-standing conundrums; how to quantify and value exposure to non-financial risk'.
