Fundamentals of Operational & Financial Risk

QUESTION 1

Statement 1: "Operational risk only arises from internal factors such as
employees and processes, and external factors do not contribute to operational
risk."

False. Operational risk does not come only from internal factors like employees,
policies, or processes—it can also be caused by external events. For example, natural
disasters, cyberattacks, regulatory changes, and even economic downturns can all
create operational risks for a business. A good example is the COVID-19 pandemic,
which forced many companies to change their operations unexpectedly. So, while
internal factors are a big part of operational risk, external factors also play a huge role.

Statement 2: "The Basel Accord requires financial institutions to maintain a risk
management framework that includes identifying, assessing, monitoring, and
controlling operational risks."

True. The Basel Accord, specifically Basel II and Basel III, sets global banking
regulations to ensure financial institutions manage risks properly. One of the key
aspects of these regulations is operational risk management. Banks are required to
have a structured approach that includes identifying risks, assessing their impact,
continuously monitoring risks, and putting measures in place to control them. This helps
prevent financial crises and protects both banks and their customers from unexpected
losses.
