  • Brilliant explanation, thanks.
  • thanks for your explanation !
  • Hi Dimitar,

     

    I agree with You if the objective of process is for example  that payment is delayed just one month ; but if objective is   for example collection of receivables, then blocking users who didn't pay last bill is not elimination because we already have one outstanding bill; in that case elimination is contracting prepaid as payment method.

     

    Happy New Year!

    I guess elimination is in case you do not serve that think which implies risk, while substitution means that, as in your example, introduce new or different thing.

     

    elimination: users who didn't pay last bill. You can block them.

    substitution: users who didn't pay last bill. You can offer them another payment method (prepaid, for example)

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.

  • I think that we firstly have to see our process and objective of our process; Then we need to indentificate risks, assess risk and mitigate in order to achieve the objective of our process. If we remove source of one type of risk we need to assess how that removing affect achieving our objective and if that eliminating risks regarding our objective, i think that is then elimination. But, if that removing the source of risk causes a new type of risk regarding our objective, than we talk about substitution.

    Thanks

    • Avoid

    • Accept
    • Mitigate

    Risk is not eliminated. Mitigate or avoided is possibly what you are looking for.

    Risk substitution may be seen as a form of mitigation.

     

    Risk avoidance: do not enter a new market segment

    Risk mitigation: implement security cameras

    Risk Sharing: taking insurances

    Hi Dimitar ,
    the method of risk treatment either risk elimination or risk subsititution or what ever the method, is a matter of cost benefit analysis, which result in a decission of what is the cost of that risk control, then you can decide which method of risk control is better to do.
    regards
    Hi Mohamed,
    yes, this is the point, but not only one. Because the cost of the method or of the risk is just one of the parameters of the assessment, you know. My point is that it is one of the main parameters and some times the important one. But in some cases the cost is not the determination factor for taking decision.

  • The question is determined by your focus either on the institution "eliminating" or "substitututing" the risk. For the institution, it may view it as eliminating the risk, but it may really only be substituting it. Without adequately evealuating the players involved and the method of elimination (i.e., insurance), the institution may think its eliminating the risk when, in fact, its just a substitution. Just as important, the substitution may be as risky as the original risk.

     

    On a more global/market basis, its not elimination. It's substitution. The bump on the balloon has just been moved around at best. In fact, as we have seen in the last few years, someone was actually making the risk balloon bigger, but no one noticed (or didn't want to notice).

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. And then you have the Middle East, where the smallest match is enough to ignite the largest fire. But are these worries really justified or…
