A huge emphasis is again being placed on successfully managing operational risk. The current economic climate poses an extreme risk for firms and risk managers are again required to give maximum attention to exposures. There is increased attention being paid to operational risk as a result of this and many banks face severe operational risk exposures from pending litigation from the financial crisis. This book, edited by Ellen Davis, offers new modelling techniques for readers’ operational risk approaches and examines some of the more qualitative issues that are on the cutting edge of the industry. The book consists of contributions from operational risk bank executives, regulators, and others in the industry addressing some of the quantitative and practical challenges that have arisen in recent years. Chapters include:

• Capital estimation and planning
• The new frontiers in advanced measurement approach modelling
• The future of operational risk as a discipline
• Evaluation of risk management practices for quantitative models

With practical insights from leading experts in the operational risk area, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to improve their operational risk modelling and also understand issues that are at the cutting edge of the industry.
