This paper reviews assessment of financial market infrastructures (FMIs) and authorities’ responsibilities in Canada. The report shows that the FMIs have operated normally under a well-established legal and oversight framework that is distinct for Canada. The Bank of Canada (BOC) has issued a Guideline that defines the criteria for identifying FMIs. Recognition of a clearing agency is also required under provincial securities legislation where terms and conditions and the clearing rule would apply. The current oversight approach can benefit from stronger enforcement powers available to the BOC. Provincial securities regulators are encouraged to train FMI oversight staff in advanced quantitative skills to support risk assessment. Further enhancement in managing liquidity and operational risks will help ensure the robust functioning of FMIs. Improvements in cyber resiliency continue in line with international guidance, including industry-wide exercises carried out by FMI operators and participants. However, compliance to endpoint security needs to be tightened by self-attestations and audits of FMI participants. The categorization and reporting of operational incident severity levels could be further coordinated.

At all stages of the production of microbiological nutrient media (MNM), the manufacturer, and in particular, the microbiological laboratories that manufacture the media on site, face many operational risks. The presence of such risks, in almost every critical point of production and further operation of the MNM, is due to the presence of common basic requirements for all MNM, which must be taken into account and respected during their development and preparation; as well as the complexity and laboriousness of the very process of manufacturing high-quality differential-diagnostic and other nutrient media, requiring the availability of all the components necessary for preparing these media, equipment, sterile conditions and qualified personnel. In this regard, there is a need to search for effective methods to identify and prevent undesirable situations associated with the production and use of MNM. The aim of this work was to adapt the risk assessment methodology based on the expert method for analyzing the types and consequences of FMEA failures (Failure Mode Effect Analysis) set out in GOST R ISO 31010-2011 for the needs of microbiological laboratories, including those for veterinary and sanitary expertise, producing microbiological nutrient environments and using them. As part of this work, a comparative analysis of risk assessment methods was carried out in order to select the optimal one; adaptation of the QMS principle - risk-oriented thinking and the FMEA method for risk assessment in the implementation of MNM manufacturing processes in a microbiological laboratory (for example, solid agar media); risk assessment protocol forms were developed; calculations of a quantitative assessment of risk levels were carried out in order to determine the need for preventive actions and their implementation in order to minimize the negative consequences of risk in case of its implementation using the developed protocols. The results showed that this technique can be successfully implemented and used in the claimed area.

Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs) are essential for the well-functioning of the financial system, as they play a central role in facilitating clearance and settlement of financial transactions such as payments, securities, and derivatives contracts. Nowadays, it is widely acknowledged that the proper functioning of systemically important FMIs is also vital to maintain financial stability; their failure for solvency reasons or operational disruptions could almost certainly lead to systemic instability. As a consequence, the adequate supervision of FMIs is inherent to the function of preserving financial stability. The aim of this chapter is to provide a general overview of the different FMIs; discuss their role in financial stability and to give an overview of the efforts made by some financial authorities towards the supervision, risk assessment and reinforcement of FMIs.

The article presents empirical study results of Lukoil company risk-assessment model development. The study is based on a cash flow at risk method (CFaR). The assessment of Lukoil company risks is made on the end of 2013. The research method includes assessment of market, credit and operational risks. The obtained results demonstrate that oil prices don't affect the company's CFaR too much but the most severe market risk is the one connected with gasoline prices. To reduce CFaR some hedging procedures may be applied, especially for market risks: for example, options and futures can be used to hedge against changes in oil and gasoline prices fluctuations.

<p>Assessing severity level of agricultural products, including those with geographical indication (GI), is important to properly maintain their quality level. This study aimed to identify risk types of GI products and define their severity levels. The identification of risk types and definition of severity levels of GI products had been done on Salak Pondoh Sleman, which has been certified since 2014. These two objectives had been achieved through two approaches: (1) the use of international/ national quality standards of horticultural products; and (2) in-depth interview with each business actor at all tier of the product’s supply chain. The results are discussed in the paper.  </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: geographical indication, risk assessment, Salak Pondoh Sleman, severity level </p>

Spectral risk measures, primarily introduced as an extension for expected shortfall, constitute a prominent class of risk measures that take account of the decision-makersrisk-aversion. In practice, risk measures are often estimated from data distributions, and due to the uncertain character of the financial market, one has no specific criterium to pick the appropriate distribution. Therefore, risk assessment under different possible scenarios (such as financial crises or outbreaks) is a source of uncertainty that may lead to concerning financial losses. The chapter addresses this issue, first, by adapting a robust framework for spectral risk measures, by considering the whole set of possible scenarios instead of making a specific choice. Second, the author proposes a variability-type approach as an alternative for quantifying uncertainty, since measuring uncertainty provides us with information about how far our risk measurement process could be impacted by uncertainty. Furthermore, the stated theory is illustrated with a practical example from the NASDAQ index.
