Banks and financial service organizations that have tried to build their operational risk programs in isolation by focusing on specific regulatory requirements face several challenges. Limited data, complex interdependencies and disintegrated approach to operational risk management (ORM) inhibit business performance and leads to poor compliance.

A holistic approach across all business units and geographies including finance, operations, IT, quality and other organizational functions improves visibility, reduces liabilities and drives better business performance leading to an efficient, sustainable and cost-effective ORM program. Banks and financial service providers must align their ORM requirements with the core business objectives and utilize integrated technology to manage enterprise-wide risk.

Participants of this webinar will learn how a holistic approach to risk management tied into corporate governance can be a competitive advantage. The online webcast will be presented by MetricStream ORM and GRC experts and will highlight best practices for:

1. Adopting and promoting good risk governance culture
2. Creating a structured approach with standardized processes and procedures
3. Structuring risk and performance data through a risk rule engine
