SHARING DATA ON LOSS EVENTS: IS IT ANY USE?
  • How banks, insurers and others have got better at share data on loss events.
  • The four operational risk data elements: internal data, external data, scenario analysis, and the business environment and internal control factors (BEICFs).
  • Industry initiatives to improve data sharing, including the BBA’s GOLD (Global Operational Loss Database), and the Basel Committee’s “Loss Data Collection Exercise”.
  • Is the data being put to good use? Is data sharing mainly an operational risk measurement exercise rather than a true improvement in operational risk management?
