Operational risk and regulatory capital: do public and private banks differ?
The authors investigate relationships between operational risk and regulatory capital in Indian public and private banks.
A text analysis of operational risk loss descriptions
The authors put forward a workflow for using text analysis to identify underlying risks in operational risk event descriptions.
Integrating text mining and analytic hierarchy process risk assessment with knowledge graphs for operational risk analysis
This paper proposes a new method, entitled the risk-based knowledge graph, which is designed to make analysis of safety records from an operational risk perspective easier and more efficient.
Cyber risk definition and classification for financial risk management
The authors put forward a definition and classification scheme for cyber risk than can be used as a template for data collection by financial institutions.
The information value of past losses in operational risk
The authors argue that past operational losses inform future losses at banks and that the information provided by past losses results from their capturing factors that are hard to quantify in other tests.
Application of the radial basis function in solving an operational risk management model: investigating the probability of bank survival with risk reserves
The authors investigate the probability of bank survival in relation to operational risk and risk reserve and calculate the amount of risk storage necessary to achieve the desired probability of survival.
Does board diversity mitigate firm risk-taking? Empirical evidence from China
The authors explore the relationship between firm risk and both demographic and cognitive-oriented board diversity.
Measuring tail operational risk in univariate and multivariate models with extreme losses
The authors consider operational risk models and derive limit behaviors for the value-at-risk and conditional tail expectation of aggregate operational risks in such models.
Operational risk: a global examination based on bibliometric analysis
The authors quantitively assess the quality of research on operational risk and find that research in this area has grown in popularity in recent years.
Machine learning for categorization of operational risk events using textual description
The authors summarise ways that machine learning can help categorize textual descriptions of operational loss events into Basel II event types.
Systemic operational risk in the Australian banking system: the Royal Commission
The author investigates the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry and its most prominent cases, as well as detailing examples of operational risk events that the commission did not cover.
How does the pandemic change operational risk? Evidence from textual risk disclosures in financial reports
The authors investigate changes in operational risk profiles of the financial industry following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Modeling systemic operational risk in the Covid-19 pandemic
This paper introduces existing and novel epidemiology models and investigates how government responses to the Covid-19 pandemic impacted these models.
Changes in operational risk and its determinants under Covid-19
The authors investigate the operational risk impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Chinese commercial banks and the moderating effect of bank size, business diversification and regulatory records.
How climate change may impact operational risk
This paper uses the ten laws of operational risk along with taxonomies for inadequacies or failures and their impacts, and it also draws parallels with past crises, in order to make systematic predictions.
Correlations in operational risk stress testing: use and abuse
The paper presents an analysis of correlation effects of economic factors on the operational risk losses of a medium-large UK retail bank, and it recommends that causal factors that effect operational risk should be identified.
Preventing the unpleasant: fraudulent financial statement detection using financial ratios
In this paper, the authors investigate financial fraud in companies listed on the Athens Stock Exchange during the period 2008–18 and propose a model to detect fraudulent financial statements.
Revisiting the linkage between internal audit function characteristics and internal control quality
This paper revisits the linkage between internal audit function characteristics and internal control quality and proposes a random polynomial model for assessing ICQ.
Extreme value theory for operational risk in insurance: a case study
This study aims to test the sufficiency of the solvency capital requirement approach for calculating operational risk using the standard formula as defined in Solvency II.
The role of management accounting practices in operational risk management: the case of Palestinian commercial banks
This paper follows an exploratory, descriptive approach to investigate the role that management accounting practices plays in managing operational risks in the Palestinian commercial banking sector.
Fighting Covid-19 in countries and operational risk in banks: similarities in risk management processes
This paper shows how banks managing operational risk and countries tackling Covid-19 could learn from each other to overcome obstacles in effectively mitigating major risks.
On modeling contagion in the formation of operational risk loss
This paper models an overall operational risk loss caused by the accumulation of intermediate losses incurred at each process via a mechanism of network contagion across distinct processes within the boundary of a bank.
An approach to simultaneously assess operational risk and maturity levels in information technology management
The aim of this paper is to investigate the operational risk and maturity level of IT in an anonymized financial institution, based on the American Productivity and Quality Center benchmark and control objectives for information and related technologies.
