The Operational Risk Framework

The universal financial shake of 2008 altered business and occupational circumstances and will inevitably trigger the outbreak of new forms of operational risk. Under normal conditions, OR does not cause significant losses; thus, severe damage is likely to occur when an operational miscarriage or an unexpected event takes place. Under the Basel III context, the banking sector is trying to increase safety and stability, by focusing on the quality of historical loss data, while cultivating an inside operational risk awareness culture. One of the most perilous types of OR is fraud, and its effects are often dangerous and may have long-term spillovers. In this chapter, an analysis of the meaning and the main characteristics of fraud is provided, focusing on contemporary trends of the issue. Going further, the business anti-fraud strategic plan is described along with how it maximizes its efficiency, while the chapter aims to analyze the demands for an organization to pass through fraud-fragile to fraud-resistant.

This chapter focuses on operational risk management for hedge funds. It takes a practitioner’s view of how to implement an operational risk framework as part of an enterprise-wide risk and control system in a “hands-on” approach. The focus of the contribution is on practical implementation with simple tools, such as Excel, rather than trying to quantify operational risk with complex mathematical formulas. The chapter outlines how a midsize hedge fund can develop systematically an integrated perspective on its main risks and set priorities on how to mitigate and control these risks. It illustrates the proposed process framework and solutions by using an example of the operational risk of “unauthorized trading.” Hints to avoid pitfalls when implementing an operational risk management framework, based on the authors’ experience as practitioners, are also provided.

Residual Service

The article presents new models and methods for estimating the residual service life of an autonomous energy system, using the functional operational risk criterion (FOR). The purpose of the article is to demonstrate a new method of durability evaluation using the fuzzy logic and soft computing framework. Durability in the article is understood as a complex property directly adjacent to the complex property of system resilience, as understood in the Western practice of assessing and ensuring the reliability of technical systems. Due to the lack of reliable homogeneous statistics on system equipment failures and recoveries, triangular fuzzy estimates of failure and recovery intensities are used as fuzzy functions of time based on incomplete data and expert estimates. The FOR in the model is the possibility for the system availability ratio to be below the standard level. An example of the evaluation of the FOR and the residual service life of a redundant cold supply system of a special facility is considered. The transition from the paradigm of structural reliability to the paradigm of functional reliability based on the continuous degradation of the technological parameters of an autonomous energy system is considered. In this case, the FOR can no longer be evaluated by the criterion of a sudden failure, nor is it possible to build a Markov’s chain on discrete states of the technical system. Assuming this, it is appropriate to predict the defi ning functional parameters of a technical system as fuzzy functions of a general form and to estimate the residual service life of the technical system as a fuzzy random variable. Then the FOR is estimated as the possibility for the residual life of the technical system to be below its warranty period, as determined by the supplier of the equipment.
