Allocate your remaining 2019 Budget towards 2020 training

Working in the financial services field, the end of the calendar year can always be a bit stressful. There are a number of reasons for this, but one of the biggest is the “use it or lose it” paradigm that exists around budgets year-over-year. If you do not use the funds that have been budgeted, it is logically be assumed that you did not need them, and it will therefore not be allocated for the following year.

When this happens, one of the best ways to save your remaining budget is to allocate some of those left over funds by booking some of the next year’s training for your team before the current year-end. Whether it is a course, a conference, or something else, it is a great way to use the funds in a manner that supports the individual, the department, and the organization.

Managing Operational Risk – What every professional needs to know

By Stanley Epstein

"Operational risk is probably one of the most misunderstood risks in the whole of the risk spectrum.

While risks such as “credit risk”, “liquidity risk”, “market risk” are easily understood by business and other professionals, “operational risk” is a poor relation when it comes to grasping what it really means.

The starting point, of course, is to define what we mean when we speak about operational risk.

My favourite definition is that formulated by the “Basel Committee on Banking Supervision” in its “Principles for the Sound Management of Operational Risk” (BIS - June 2011).

The definition reads;

“Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events.”
