    Hi Everyone,
    My name is Mark, and I'm a reporter for Operational Risk and Regulation magazine. We are a monthly magazine and website, based at http://www.risk.net/operational-risk-and-regulation
    I work in London, and cover all sorts of areas relevant to the discipline of OR. My beat in particular is Europe, both the Union and at national level, and I'm always keen to speak to people from throughout the industry.
    I've been at the magazine a relatively short amount of time, and I'm still learning a great deal about this sector of financial services, having previously been free-lancing in areas around consumer technology.

    At the moment, I'm particularly thinking about the role of gender in operational risk and whether there can be issues around "groupthink" when organisations are too homegenous.
    However, I am always interested to know what you, the experts, think are the developing trends in OR, and what is driving that.

    If you would like to contact me, I'm sure you can do so through the site, or alternatively via my email, mark.sands@incisivemedia.com
    If you wish to follow the kinds of things we're covering feel free to either check out the website or you can find me on twitter; @MarkTimSands.

    All the best,

    Mark

    Hi all,
    I have over 20 years risk experience in Australia ranging from Defence to Telecommunications and Finance. I started my own consultancey (SRMA) 10 years ago, specialising in Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity. Since then we have branched out into general operational risk.

Fully complaint to the ISO 31000 Process we are now ready to enter the market and are looking for delivery partners around the world. The software has been developed to support my own consultancey (10 staff and 20 clients) and also fit directly into any organisation consulting/legal/accounting or into a company directly regardles of size.

    I am keen to be part of this network to help grow my global network of peer risk providers.

    Regards from Australia,

  • Hi everybody,
    I have over 25 years of experience in IT, Telecoms, Media and Entertainment Marketing across the Middle East Region.
    Since 3 years ago I started to care about risk that comes from the information technology sector and learned how to mitigate, transfer and manage these risks.
    My interest is to ensure that organization's information technology and its business systems and assets are protected and controlled.
  • Hi everybody,
    I am a senior business consultant with 12-year experience in the area of (retail) credit risk management. I've been involved in different industries, from telco through to banking and leasing organizations. My expertise is mostly in the area of Basel II, credit scoring (development), strategy design and optimization, risk management process audit and design.
    I would like to take the chance of being part of such a community to build professional relationships with other professionals operating in the same field.
    Looking forward to that,
    ciao.

  • Hello Everyone, my name is Larry Castle. I have been doing Risk Management from the Disaster Recovery world for over 30 years. I have work fortune 100 corporations, fortune 500 corporations, Mom and Pop operations, Federal government, State Government and the US Miliatry Intelligence relm. From the risk management of the IT world in general all though we have all done it for year without ever calling it IT Risk management this has finally come into it's own world and now we have dedicated resources that do just this rather than it being a secondary job for someone who is already over loaded with their main position. I am interested in hearing from other members that have been involved before it became a primary position, tell me how it has changed the previous positions you have held. Also of course looking for the next consulting engagement or full time positions if you hear of any.

  • I am the Information Security Officer at the fifth larges Credit Union in the USA. I've been engineering/consulting/managing in the Information Security Space for about 18 years and before that, in IT for another 20 years. I've been a systems/application programmer and software developer for a good part of that time as well as a network engineer/consultant.

    My greatest challenges now are getting a grip on deploying an Identity Management solution, integrating financial and IT risks in an Enterprise Risk Management framework and perhaps the never-ending search for good InfoSec "productivity metrics.

    I'm looking for some good discusions on these and other topics and getting to network with my peers.

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).

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…
