About the Department

Operational Risk Management (ORM) under Risk Management works closely and provides support and guidance to Business and Support units (BSUs) within the Bank to effectively manage their operational risk profiles. As the second line of defence, it provides an overarching governance over operational risk through relevant frameworks, policies and ORM programmes. It leverages on the Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) system to implement the ORM programmes to the BSUs, namely Key Risk and Control Self-Assessment (KRCSA), Outsourcing, Product Programme, Key Operational Risk Indicators, Management Risk Awareness and Incident Reporting. ORM also provides independent review and challenge on the inputs from BSUs in all ORM programmes. Key results and highlights from these programmes which include technology risk and Shariah related risks are reported to the Senior Management, relevant committees and Board.
