Banking Operational Risk Management

Banking Operational Risk Management is a specialized training designed to equip banking professionals and financial service practitioners with the knowledge and tools required to identify, assess, monitor, and control operational risks within a banking environment.

Operational risk refers to the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, or external events. In today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape—driven by digital banking, regulatory pressure, cyber threats, and increasing fraud risks—banks must strengthen their operational risk frameworks to remain stable, compliant, and profitable.

This course provides a practical and regulatory-aligned approach to managing operational risks in line with Basel II/III principles, Central Bank guidelines, and global best practices. Participants will explore real-life case studies, risk control frameworks, incident management, and risk reporting systems used in modern banking institutions.
