Risk-focused Examination Principles
Encourage strong risk management practices in banks
Tailor supervisory plan to individual bank risks
Early warning system Don’t repeat what has already been
performed by reliable sources

Risk-Focused Process
Community Bank Supervision– Annual on-site examinations and quarterly
meetings with bank management
Large Complex Bank Supervision– Examiners assigned full time to institution with
heavy emphasis on continuous monitoring plus a series of target examinations

Steps in the Process
Develop an approach appropriate to the institution
Develop a standard set of documents to describe the institution and document the examination approach

Inherent Risk
The level of risk that is present in the business activities conducted by a bank
The inherent risk involved in that activity should be described as – High– Moderate, or– Low
![Page 12: Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overviewsiteresources.worldbank.org/FINANCIALSECTOR/Resources/C-Risk... · Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overview. ... control system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011801/5af77a147f8b9a927191b4f0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
High Inherent Risk
High inherent risk exists where the activity is significant or positions are large in relation to the institution’s resources or to its peer group, where there are a substantial number of transactions, or where the nature of the activity is inherently more complex than normal. The activity potentially could result in a significant and harmful loss to the institution.
![Page 13: Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overviewsiteresources.worldbank.org/FINANCIALSECTOR/Resources/C-Risk... · Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overview. ... control system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011801/5af77a147f8b9a927191b4f0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Moderate Inherent Risk
Moderate inherent risk exists where positions are average in relation to the institution’s resources or to its peer group, where the volume of transactions is average, and where the activity is more typical or traditional. While the activity potentially could result in a loss to the organization, the loss could be absorbed by the organization in the normal course of business.

Low Inherent Risk
Low inherent risk exists where the volume, size, or nature of the activity is such that even if the internal controls have weaknesses, the risk of loss is remote or, if a loss were to occur, it would have little negative impact on the institution’s overall financial condition.

Risk Management
Effective risk management is the ability to adequately identify, measure, monitor and control the risks that are involved in its various products and lines of business in a safe and sound manner.

Risk Management Components
When assessing the adequacy of an institution’s risk management systems, primary consideration on the following key elements is essential:– Active board and senior management oversight– Adequate of policy and procedures– Adequate risk management, monitoring, and
management information systems, and– Comprehensive internal controls and audit
![Page 17: Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overviewsiteresources.worldbank.org/FINANCIALSECTOR/Resources/C-Risk... · Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overview. ... control system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011801/5af77a147f8b9a927191b4f0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Relative Strength of Risk Management Processes
Relative strength should be characterized as– Strong– Acceptable– Weak
![Page 18: Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overviewsiteresources.worldbank.org/FINANCIALSECTOR/Resources/C-Risk... · Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overview. ... control system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011801/5af77a147f8b9a927191b4f0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Relative Strength of Risk Management Processes
Strong risk management indicates that management effectively identifies and controls all major types of risk posed by the relevant activity. Board and management participate in managing risk and ensure proper policies exist. Policies and limits are supported by monitoring procedures, reports and management information systems that are accurate and timely. Internal controls and audit are appropriate for the activities of the institution. There are few exceptions to established policies and none of these exceptions would lead to a significant loss to the organization.
![Page 19: Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overviewsiteresources.worldbank.org/FINANCIALSECTOR/Resources/C-Risk... · Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overview. ... control system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011801/5af77a147f8b9a927191b4f0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Relative Strength of Risk Management Processes
Acceptable Risk Management indicates that the institution’s risk management systems, although largely effective, may be lacking to some modest degree. It reflects an ability to cope successfully with existing and foreseeable exposure that may arise in carrying out the institution’s business plan. While the institution may have some minor risk management weaknesses, these problems have been recognized and addressed. Overall, the board and senior management oversight, policies and limits, risk monitoring and information systems are considered effective. Risks are generally controlled in a manner that does not require more than normal supervisory attention.
![Page 20: Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overviewsiteresources.worldbank.org/FINANCIALSECTOR/Resources/C-Risk... · Risk-Focused Examination Process – an Overview. ... control system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011801/5af77a147f8b9a927191b4f0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Relative Strength of Risk Management Processes
Weak Risk Management indicates risk management systems are lacking in important ways and therefore, are a cause for more than normal supervisory attention. The internal control system may be lacking in important aspects, particularly as indicated by continued control exceptions or by the failure to adhere to written policies and procedures. The deficiencies associated in these systems could have adverse effects on the safety and soundness of the institution or could lead to a material misstatement of its financial statements if corrective actions are not taken.

Board and Senior Management Oversight
The board of directors and senior management have identified and have a clear understanding and working knowledge of the types of risks inherent in the institution’s activities and have made appropriate efforts to remain informed about these risks as financial markets, risk management practices, and the institution’s activities evolve.

Board and Senior Management Oversight
The board has reviewed and approved appropriate policies to limit risks inherent in the institution’s lending, investing, trading, trust, fiduciary and other significant activities or products.

On-Site Review
From the off-site risk scoping process, the examiner needs to take the hypothesis of the bank’s condition and develop examination techniques for the on-site review to assess the level of risk.
