Op risk still at an early stage, says FSA
“Operational risk remains at an early stage of development, and although some firms have made substantial progress, many still need to think carefully about how to prepare for the FSA's new approach," said Clive Briault, director of prudential standards at the FSA.
Firms more advanced in their approach to operational risk management demonstrated established senior management commitment with a clear internal focus for operational risk, said the FSA. These firms integrated operational risk decisions into the business framework and used 'building-block' learning to enhance their approach.
The FSA released the review of operational risk management practices to help firms develop their own op risk programmes. The review gives feedback on industry practice from 22 UK financial firms as they prepare for the FSA’s new guidelines for operational risk management.
Firms will need to comply with the regulator's policy on systems and controls when they are introduced in September 2004. A draft framework issued in July 2002 covered high-level controls for operational risk, and a final policy is due to be published in September 2003.
