This course, Principles for the Management of Operational Risk in the Financial Industry, is a detailed presentation on best industry practice in the management of operational risk in banks and other financial institutions.

These principles have been developed and issued by the Bank for International Settlements’ (BIS), Basel Committee for Banking Supervision. They also form a part of the well-known “Basel Accords”, which is the set of banking regulations (Basel I, II and III), that provides recommendations on banking regulations in regards to capital risk, market risk and operational risk.

Based on best industry practice and supervisory experience, these principles cover three all-embracing themes: governance, risk management and disclosure.

We examine each of these principles and their relative implementation factors – what the principle means and what should be addressed in putting its requirements in place. We conclude by putting the principles to the test when examining a detailed banking Case Study.

This course brings you up to speed on current practice in the field of managing operational risk in financial institutions.

I don't feel like I learned much in this course because there are 11 principles and on the slides, instead of referring to the description or type of principle, it just says 'Principle 1', 'Principle 2', etc, once you were past the first intro slides. I tried to Google the 11 Principles and this made me wonder - where did the 11 principles come from? Is it from ISO 31000? I would recommend having a brief description of the principle on a slide when discussing that principle, versus just calling it by it's number.

I do not have experiences in the Financial Industry. Thanks to the course, I could see specific principles for the management of operational risk.

A great primer to learning about operational risk management. The case study at the end is a perfect example of how internal controls can fail.

Compliance and controls aren't the most riveting topic but he did a good job at keeping my attention and the content is relevant.

Interesting to learn how many of the operational risks exposures come from banks' own employees.
