medium · FRM Part 2 Operational Risk

A bank's impact tolerance for 'Securities Lending' is defined as 'disruption exceeding 24 hours.' A scenario test shows that while the system can be recovered in 4 hours, it would take 30 hours to manually reconcile the data corrupted during the event.

What does this indicate?

  1. The bank is resilient because its recovery time of 4 hours is well within the 24-hour impact tolerance limit.
  2. The bank should revise its RPO target to 30 hours so it aligns with the manual reconciliation time seen in this scenario test.
  3. The bank has failed its impact tolerance because the end-to-end recovery time (34 hours) exceeds the 24-hour threshold.
  4. Reconciliation time is classified as indirect labor cost and is therefore excluded from formal resilience testing scope entirely.
