Are there any tried and tested combined risk assurance model tools for the Public Sector on the market (combination of enterprise risk management, Governance and Internal Auditing).  Opinions on whether going this route are worth the while will also be a great assistance.

  • Hi, 

    I just can talk about my personal experience, about 30 years, in this field.

    We found that there is only one rule in the public sector concerning assurance and/or assurablity: There are no rules.......!!!

    Every new government taking office has their own ideas. Now, populist trends uses, and abuses, of insurance and reinsurance markets as fresh cash available for their own purposes. Just see Argentina´s case and their block to buy international reinsurance....unbelivable.

    What is possible is to convince major state owned companies and public works ministries to take in account catastrophic risks (In our car, Chile., earthquake is THE issue, just remember feb 27/2010 with 8,8 Richter degree). Cat bonds and major coverages are an usual product to be buyer. Most of the time through largest bids.

    We take major lobby actions with public functionaries, but always they change every new election and so on. And in most of countries they expect to receive "something" due to its "efforts" (corruption is a good word for it).

    Even public sector appears as a major league insurance buyer, in the medium and long term. And at least in South America we decide to stop our collaboration with them: Too much time consuming and efforts deployed with poor results from Mexico to the Cape Horn.

    I would be surprised to learn from other experiences in countries closer to our state of development.

    Best.

If risk management is about decision making, are current risk management solutions irrelevant?

Now that the updated COSO and ISO risk management standards emphasize a connection to enterprise objectives and decision making, does this mean ERM and GRC solutions focused on risk registers and regulatory compliance are missing the true value of risk management?Will current risk management solutions evolve to integrate more decision support functionality or will standalone prescriptive analytics and other technology solutions take a more prominent role in enabling risk-informed…

A question related to classification of instruments between trading and banking book.

We have an interesting question from one of our members.       "We usually perform OTC FX transactions with clients backed-to-back on the market (with Banks). Now we are going to perform a FX swap (i.e. Spot + forward) JPY/EUR for the Bank account for 1 week at the longest. The purpose is to get EUR place @ CB for LCR compliance purpose (no trading purposes). Bank's Management think that this should be considered as a trading position and therefore be classified within the Bank's trading book.…

Plunging oil prices: curse or blessing in disguise?

The recent sudden crash of oil prices has had a major impact on the world economy, leading to many troubled faces in the international arena. The Russians fear the effects of yet another powerful hit on their economy, Venezuela seems to be considering default and the Americans are weary of the consequences for its young and emerging shale oil industry.
