Many institutions are now introducing more disciplined approaches to operational risk management. Frequently, under the direction of a senior management Operational Risk Committee, such initiatives commonly include objectives of introducing:

· formal risk identification and qualification programmes, closely integrated with internal audit
· Co-assessment of risks by the business
· definition of detailed risk policies
· development of internal capital allocation methodologies
· regular reporting to Board and Senior Management

To support these new initiatives there is a compelling requirement for an integrated systems approach. The chosen system needs to have the architecture to support and address ever-evolving requirements into the long-term.

Amelia Financial Systems brings a structured pragmatic risk identification and assessment methodology to assist organisations to get the best results from their operational risk programmes and to lay the foundation for new Corporate Governance requirements and Basel II and European Union initiatives.
