medium · Frm Part 2 Operational Risk

A business unit identifies 50 risks in its RCSA, all with 'Residual Scores' of 1 or 2 (Green). The total 'Expected Loss' (EL) for the unit is $5m.

Why might a CRO still be concerned about the 'Aggregate' risk of this unit?

  1. The SMA capital formula will double the capital for this unit regardless of the RCSA scores.
  2. A $5m EL is too high for a unit with only 'Green' residual risks.
  3. The unit is clearly 'Under-reporting' its inherent risk to keep the residual scores green.
  4. RCSA often misses 'Interdependencies'; 50 small independent risks may be highly correlated in a systemic stress event.
