Risk management - banking - financial firms.
(NFR).
Non-financial risks are all risks that are not financial risks.
The concept is particularly important for banks and other financial firms where, historically, the management of non-financial risks may in some cases have been neglected.
- Only a downside
- "Non-financial risk, whether related to misconduct, non-compliance, IT, reputational, cybersecurity or operational challenges, is not linked directly to financial decisions and has only a downside.
- In other words, unlike credit or market risk, here there are only potential losses, which can be large. In addition, non-financial risk can only be reduced or mitigated, but not eliminated, and it is far more difficult to quantify than financial risks.
- Despite all these difficulties, or perhaps because of them, non-financial risk has been on [bank] regulators’ and supervisors’ radar for quite some time. In fact, it’s been more than 15 years since the Basel II capital accord included a capital charge for operational risk."
- Margarita Delgado, Deputy Governor, Banco de Espana, 2019
