    7. “ Responsibility for risk management must lie primarily with the business, not over- ” relying on the risk function. — Charles Beach, regulation and compliance partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers Copyright © 2009, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved.
    8. Reforms will also be comprehensive Over the next year, what do you expect to be the three key areas of focus in the management of risk in your organisation? Improving data quality and availability 41 % Improving governance of risk 33 % Developing “firm-wide” approach to risk 29 % Embedding risk management within lines of 28 % business Better and more sophisticated analytics 27 % Improving communication and understanding 24 % between risk function and lines of business 0% 5% 10 % 15 % 20 % 25 % 30 % 35 % 40 % 45 % Copyright © 2009, SAS Institute Inc.

    9. “ Risk reports provided to the board and senior management need to be capable of focusing on the firm’s current key risk issues rather than providing a torrent of data that cannot be realistically digested and used as a basis for effective decision- making ” — Charles Beach, regulation and compliance partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers Copyright © 2009, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved.
    10. Culture, expertise and data are the main barriers What are the three main barriers to improving risk management in your organisation?

    11. “ In banking, the risk function takes prime responsibility for dealing with risk, rather than for embedding risk management throughout the business, and this surely can’t be a sensible approach. The key is risk awareness and creating a risk culture, not letting a single function deal with it as though it were a business line in itself. ” — Steve Fowler, chief executive of the Institute of Risk Management Copyright © 2009, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved.
    12. Transparency is a common theme Which of the following proposed reforms do you think will be most beneficial to the financial services industry?

Maintain overall stability of the financial system 53 % 19 % Restore trust in the banking system 43 % 20 % Put in place sufficient skills and expertise to keep pace with innovation in the banking system 30 % 37 % Confident Not confident Co-ordinate work of regulatory bodies across borders 25 % 37 % Require implementation of compensation policies that support long-term shareholder value creation 24 % 41 % Monitor credit rating agencies and prevent conflicts of interest 18 % 49 % 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Copyright © 2009, SAS Institute Inc.

    14. After the Storm… conclusion  Change is not merely desirable now, it is critical to firms’ survival and their ability to compete in a marketplace that will inevitably become more rules-based and hence more complicated.  The best firms with the brightest people embrace change. They will adapt and prosper in the new environment.  Successful firms know that the answer to the big question of the past several months is not to take risk off the table.  Without taking clever, calculated, controlled risks, no firm can be successful. Risk, in the final analysis, is not a function within a firm, it is the firm. Copyright © 2009, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved.
    15. “ The important lesson is that bank regulators cannot fully or accurately forecast whether, for example, sub-prime mortgages will turn toxic, or a particular tranche of a collateralised debt obligation will default, or even if the financial system will seize up. A large fraction of such difficult forecasts will invariably be proved wrong. ” — Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve Copyright © 2009, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved.
