Hand aufs Herz: Kann Ihre Risikobetrachtung mit den Marktveränderungen Schritt halten?

Ich möchte Sie etwas fragen? Sehen Sie Risikomanagement als: alleinige Aufgabe des Chief Risk Officer, als Pflichtübung, die jede Menge Papierkram – aber keine wirklichen Vorteile – bringt; oder Verantwortung von allen im Unternehmen und eine Chance, eine sichere Umgebung für heikle Geschäftsentscheidungen zu schaffen?

Das Konzept von Self-Service Analytics wird oft mit innovativen Geschäftsmodellen oder schneller Reaktion auf Kundenanfragen assoziiert. Darüber hinaus kann Self-Service aber auch Mitarbeiter in die Lage versetzen, operative Vorgänge besser und effektiver zu unterstützen.

It's time to stop the reactionary compliance tactics

The financial sector has always been subjected to regulatory compliance laws and directives. Consumers, lawmakers and politicians would expect no less. But it's fair to say that the financial sector has witnessed a "hockey stick" trend regarding new regulations in recent years.

Nach den ersten direkten in Basel III mündenden Vorgaben zu Eigenkapitalanforderungen und Liquiditätsmanagement, hatte die

IFRS 17 – „Abwarten und Tee trinken“ ist keine Option

Manchmal ist abwarten und Tee trinken zwar genau die richtige Strategie, aber nicht in Sachen IFRS 17. Hier können und dürfen sich die Versicherer eine solche Haltung nicht mehr leisten. Warum nicht?

After the financial crisis of 2008, concerns have been raised about “too little, too late” provisioning for loan losses and IFRS 9 is coming to enforce the adoption of a new expected credit loss (‘ECL’) model for the measurement and recognition of impairment.

Versicherungen stehen massiv unter Druck. Negative Zinsen und ein hoher regulatorischer Druck führen auch nicht gerade zu Euphorie (versicherungswirtschaft-heute.de).

Also bleibt nur, an Effizienz und Automatisierung von Prozessen

Disrupting risk management: how financial models are changing

In many ways financial services is about risk management.

Cost pressures are increasingly important, as is the rise of challengers to the

Should regulators standardize risk models?

The argument is that central banks and regulatory authorities could then more easily monitor systemic risk and compare apples to apples. But
