The March Toward a Consolidated Risk Statement

Speaker:

Dr. Sam L. Savage, Author and Consulting Professor, Stanford University: garp.com…

Synopsis:

Recent breakthroughs in technology and methodology allow risks to be aggregated like numbers in a financial statement and are helping to make consolidated risk models possible. Distribution strings and probability management provide a new risk arithmetic, allowing for the effective consolidation of risks across entities. The use of interactive simulation and visualization software has increased transparency and helps connect the “seat of the intellect” to the “seat of the pants.”

Zurich, Switzerland Chapter Meeting - From Operational Risk and Control to Risk-Based Capital: An Integral Approach

30 Mar 2010 16:00:00 GMT

Center for Business Studies (CfBS)
Wengistrasse 1/Badenerstrasse 120, Zurich
Tuesday, March 30, 2010, 12 – 1:30pm

Topic:

From Operational Risk and Control to Risk-Based Capital: An Integral Approach

Speakers:

- Claudia Limardo, Head of Risk and Control Methodology, Zurich Financial Services

- Brigitte Christ, Head of Risk and Control, Zurich Financial Services

Synopsis:

Enterprise risk management plays a key role in protecting a company's core values and reputation. The risk management framework intends to enable the prompt identification and management of risks, in line with the organization's overall risk tolerance, also helping to optimize capital requirements. Internal controls play a major role in the assessment and mitigation of risks.

Regulatory requirements for both internal control (following the initial SOX requirements) and Operational Risk (in preparation for Solvency II) have generally resulted in the development of different frameworks addressing two sides of the same coin.

Zurich has implemented a comprehensive framework that is based on operational risk governance, quantitative and qualitative risk management activities and instruments designed to foster risk transparency and informed risk-taking.
To support the decision-making process, Risk and control data is later used to quantify operational risk capital.

This GARP chapter-meeting will focus on Zurich’s approach to:

- Integrating Operational Risk and Internal Control
- Quantifying Operational Risk
