medium · Frm Part 2 Operational Risk

A bank defines 'Impact Tolerance' for its clearing service as 'the inability to process more than $50bn in payments in a single day.' During a simulation, a system failure occurs at 10:00 AM. By 2:00 PM, the backlogged payments total $40bn. The RTO for the system is 5 hours.

What is the status of the bank's resilience?

  1. The bank is resilient because the RTO of 5 hours is shorter than the 24-hour day.
  2. The bank is in breach of its RTO, but potentially still within its impact tolerance if the system is restored before the $50bn limit is hit.
  3. The bank should immediately trigger its NSFR recovery plan to provide liquidity for the unpaid settlements.
  4. The bank is in breach of its impact tolerance because $40bn is close to the $50bn limit.
