AIMA publishes new guide to operational risk management

09 March 2016

The AIMA Guide to Sound Practices for Operational Risk Management focuses on a wide variety of risks that could result in loss from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events.

The new guide includes sections on trading, execution and market manipulation risk; post-trading risk; legal, regulatory, and compliance risk; financial risk; technology and cyber security risk; business continuity and disaster recovery risk; insurance; communication risk; outsourcing risks; business conduct and reputational risk; outsourcing risk; and counterparty risk.

Jack Inglis, Chief Executive Officer for AIMA, said: “Operational risk is an increasing focus of investors and regulators alike. Both of these groups will expect managers to have sound operational risk frameworks and will also be expecting next generation managers to be progressing along the spectrum of increasingly sophisticated approaches as they grow.”
