Operational risk essentials (e-learning)

The increase of home-based working, the development of new technologies and the availability of large amounts of data have caused a sizeable impact on business processes and controls.

The operational risk landscape has changed and continues to evolve. The Basel Committee has reinforced the importance of having an appropriate and up-to-date operational risk framework in place with robust controls and monitoring processes. Operational risk is everywhere in any organisation as it is linked to processes, people, systems, or external events. We cannot avoid them all, but their impact can be reduced, if properly managed. If this is not the case, organisations can suffer actual losses, damage their reputation, or face costly disruption.

Mindful of the continuous flow of information and contradictory signals to which each of us is exposed, PwC’s Academy has designed a comprehensive digital solution that paves the learning experience to unraveling more knowledge and skills.

At the end of the learning experience, participants will be able to:

• understand the different components of an operational risk framework
• identify and assess key risks within their organisation
• construct a risk and control self-assessment matrix
