medium · FRM Part 2 Operational Risk

A bank's Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) identifies a 'High' inherent risk for a vendor process, but the 'Residual' risk is marked 'Low' based on a 90% control effectiveness score.

If the bank has never audited the vendor's actual performance, the RCSA is likely suffering from:

  1. A violation of the subadditivity property of coherent risk measures like ES.
  2. A 'Type 1' error appearing in the Kupiec proportion-of-failures backtest.
  3. Self-assessment optimism bias and a failure of 'operating effectiveness' testing.
  4. Model drift in the 'Population Stability Index' (PSI) used for monitoring ML models.
