Demands on loss consortia changing, says BBA and consultancy

Financial services firms are demanding more qualitative data from their operational risk loss data consortia than in the past, according to David Dooks, director of statistics at the British Bankers' Association (BBA).

Dooks believes that where previously institutions had expected only "simplistic" statistical analysis from consortia such as ORX or the BBA's own Global Operation Loss Database (Gold), increasingly, more qualitative information is being used for risk management analysis.
