hard · Frm Part 2 Operational Risk

A bank's 'Business Impact Analysis' (BIA) identifies that a failure in its 'Client Onboarding' service results in legal fines of $100k per day after the first 48 hours, and reputational damage that could cause a 5% deposit runoff after 5 days.

If an impact tolerance is set based on 'systemic stability,' why might these financial/reputational costs be secondary to the tolerance limit?

  1. Impact tolerances focus on the point where disruption causes intolerable harm to customers or the system, which may occur before or after significant financial loss to the firm.
  2. The SMA framework already capitalizes reputational risk via the BIC services component.
  3. Deposit runoff is a Market Risk factor and is therefore handled through VaR mapping rather than impact tolerances.
  4. Legal risk is excluded from the definition of operational risk under the current Basel regime.
