Copyright 2018 Malzahn Strategic

Page 24: Creating the Right ERM Program for YOUR Community Bank€¦ · functional areas of the organization (simple yet comprehensive). •Scales should help in ranking and in prioritizing

Identifying and Assessing Risk

• Use Risk Assessments enterprise-wide to identify risks and assess the types of risks

• Also identify unique and specific risks to your organization• (i.e. succession planning, relationship concentration, industry

concentration)

• Categorizing each risk across the organization by criticality and confidentiality

• Rate risks by: Impact and probability and vulnerability and speed of onset

Copyright 2018 Malzahn Strategic

Page 25: Creating the Right ERM Program for YOUR Community Bank€¦ · functional areas of the organization (simple yet comprehensive). •Scales should help in ranking and in prioritizing

Mitigating and Eliminating Risk

• Determine the steps your institution will take to mitigate risks identified

• Determine how your institution can eliminate certain risks

• Ensure your institution is comfortable with the residual risk

• Establish policies, processes, and procedures (also systems and outsourced expertise) to mitigate and eliminate risks

Copyright 2018 Malzahn Strategic

Page 26: Creating the Right ERM Program for YOUR Community Bank€¦ · functional areas of the organization (simple yet comprehensive). •Scales should help in ranking and in prioritizing

Monitoring and Reporting Risk

• Ongoing monitoring of risks identified• Establish accountability across the board

• Ensure policies, procedures, and systems in place are being followed AND are working (measuring)

• Ongoing reporting of risks and status to Board of Directors• Provide results from monitoring efforts

• Directors learn about risks, get updates, understand their liability

• Use tools such as “heat maps”

ERM Risk Assessment Matrix -Definitions

• Risks: Identify each risk in your institution

• Inherent Risk: Risk of an activity with no controls in place (Low, Moderate, High)

• Consequences: If the risk occurs, identify damage

• Risk Mitigating Factors: Activities that can control the risk and consequences of it happening

• Monitoring Tool(s): Tools used to monitor risks

ERM Risk Assessment Matrix -Definitions

• Plans for Improvement: If current mitigating factors are insufficient, describe plan to improve

• Status: Tracking mechanism to track progress on plans for improvement (establish accountabilities)

• Residual Risk: The risk that remains after controls are taken into account

• Trend of Risk: Increasing, Stable, Decreasing – provides a baseline for future assessments of this risk

Develop Assessment Criteria

• Develop a common set of assessment criteria (scale) to be used across all functional areas of the organization (simple yet comprehensive).

• Scales should help in ranking and in prioritizing risks (i.e., 1 = Incidental, 2 = Minor, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Major, 5 = Extreme).

• Risks as well as opportunities are usually assessed in terms of impact (how it will affect the entire enterprise) or likelihood (i.e., 1 = Rare, 2 = Unlikely, 3 = Possible, 4 = Likely, 5 = Frequent)

• Ask the questions of vulnerability (how susceptible?) and speed of onset(how fast could the risk arise? 1 = Very Low, 2 = Low, 3 = Medium, 4 = High, 5 = Very High; how fast could you respond/ recover?)
