Risk IT and Operations: Strengthening capabilities June 17, 2011 Preface The board of directors of the Institute of International Finance (IIF) and members of the Steering Committee on Implementation (SCI) are pleased to present Risk IT and Operations: Strengthening Capabilities (the Report) to the international financial community. This Report aims to assist the industry in addressing weaknesses identified in the recent financial crisis, particularly in the technology and processes that financial-services firms use to support risk management. The Senior Supervisors’ Group (SSG), in its December 2010 report Observations on Developments in Risk Appetite Frameworks and IT Infrastructure, acknowledged the progress firms have made in undertaking 1 significant IT projects to improve risk-data aggregation. However, it also pointed out that considerable work needs to be done to continue to address weaknesses identified during the height of the crisis. The industry recognizes that inadequate risk IT infrastructure and processes can pose challenges to improving risk-management systems. The IIF has long stressed that a resilient financial system depends equally on appropriate and balanced regulation, sound supervision, credible resolution, and sound internal risk management and governance in firms. Improving banks’ risk IT infrastructure is also important for financial stability because it facilitates the provision of accurate risk information for use by bank management and by the micro- and macroprudential supervisors. We believe this Report provides useful insights and recommendations to both individual firms and supervisors as they work to improve risk IT practices in the industry. It discusses the results of the review undertaken by the SCI, with the help of McKinsey and of firms’ Risk IT/Ops practices. In particular, the Report develops an understanding of the expected impact of regulatory changes on risk IT requirements and assesses the current status of industry practices. More importantly, it provides pragmatic industry principles and recommendations that will facilitate each firm’s decisions on sound risk IT/Ops practices. The IIF is grateful for member firms’ participation in the review. We are especially appreciative of the invaluable support extended by McKinsey, both in conducting the survey and in the development of this Report. The lists of members of the IIF board of directors, the SCI, and the Risk IT Working Group are included in the Report.
