We explore some of the latest trends and strategies
Good People Behaving Badly
The root of most risk management failures lies in human behavior. Greed, fear, and ego often lead to poor decision-making and unethical behavior, particularly during times of stress or opportunity. Effective risk management requires not only robust systems and processes but also a strong focus on people, culture, and ethics.
Operational Risk Capital – throwing the Modeling out
The Basel Committee proposes a new capital framework for operational risk based on a business indicator and internal loss data, aiming for simplicity and risk sensitivity. However, regulators retain control through multipliers and stress tests.
GRC: Oxymoron, tautology, or just plain bunkum
The author criticizes the over-reliance on GRC technologies and the proliferation of new risk categories like Regulatory, Compliance, and Legal Risk. They argue that these categories are often redundant and that the true focus should be on underlying human behavior and systemic issues that lead to risk.
Know your KYX
The global regulatory landscape has intensified scrutiny on anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) practices. While these efforts aim to combat financial crime, they have created significant burdens for financial institutions. These institutions often struggle with complex regulations, data quality issues, and resource constraints, leading to challenges in effectively implementing and maintaining robust AML/KYC programs.

The author argues that leverage is a key driver of systemic risk and that the current rise in household debt, particularly credit card debt, could be a warning sign of potential future financial instability. The author suggests using a simple leverage-based risk indicator to monitor systemic risk and advocates for increased vigilance in the face of growing debt levels and economic uncertainty.

Banks engaged in risky activities like subprime lending and complex derivatives without properly considering systemic risks. New regulations like Basel III and Solvency II aim to improve risk management by requiring better data aggregation, capital adequacy, and stress testing.
