Operational Risk Management

The focus on integrated governance, risk and compliance, regulatory measures such as Basel II, and risk focus of Audit Standard 5 of Sarbanes-Oxley have required organizations to take a more disciplined approach to operational risk management. This heightened focus on operational risk management is also being driven by a growing realization that a comprehensive operational risk management program can result in improved bottom-line business performance.

The operational risk management functionality enables an organization to track material risks, quantify risk costs, reduce the risk of loss, improve business processes, and empower business process owners by providing greater accountability. Paisley's governance, risk and compliance solutions offer a consistent and sustainable framework for identifying and managing operational risks resulting from failed processes, people, systems or external events.
