medium · FRM Part 2 Operational Risk

An operational risk report shows that a business unit's Key Risk Indicator (KRI) for 'overdue trade confirmations' has been red for five months, yet the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) for the same process reports a 'Green' residual risk.

What is the most likely structural failure in this framework?

  1. The bank is using the Standardized Measurement Approach (SMA), which makes these individual unit metrics irrelevant.
  2. The RCSA process is suffering from self-assessment bias or 'gaming' by the business unit.
  3. Internal Audit has not yet performed their annual review, which is the only way to reconcile these metrics.
  4. The KRI is poorly designed and should be ignored if the RCSA is green.
