Operational Risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from external events. It includes reputation and franchise risks associated with business practices or market conduct. It also includes the risk of failing to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Operational Risk does not include strategic risk or the risk of loss resulting solely from judgments made with respect to taking credit, market, interest rate, liquidity, or insurance risk.
Under the 1988 Accord, the Basel Committee limited risk consideration for its framework to credit and market risks as these were considered a good approximation of the entire business. However, it has been observed that risks other than credit and market can be substantial. Further, developing banking practices such as securitization, outsourcing, specialized processing operations and reliance on rapidly evolving technology and complex financial products and strategies suggest that these other risks are increasingly important factors to be reflected in credible capital assessments by both supervisors and banks. Hence Operational Risk was incorporated into the Basel II framework. The implementation of the Operational Risk framework in the Basel II Accord has become a challenge to both regulators and operators in the banking industry with consistent search for the best approach to approximate operational risk exposure at different business levels.
