This document contains a presentation by Mohammad Fheili on various topics related to risk management in banking. It begins with Mohammad Fheili's biography and experience in the banking industry. It then discusses how banking has become more complicated due to factors like increased automation, customer demands for transparency, and reduced customer intimacy. Several technological disruptions that are impacting banking are identified, including mobile internet, cloud technology, and artificial intelligence. Cyber risks and how they are rising are examined, with data showing increases in security incidents and intellectual property theft. The importance of skills, loyalty, and human capital accumulation for organizations is discussed. Models for risk management, including potential risks within and between modules, are presented.

Convergence-based Approach for Managing Operational Risk and Security In Toda...Marc S. Sokol
This white paper provides a multidimensional approach that inspires convergence of resources, thinking and collaboration by business and support operations professionals across the organization to implement and maintain a holistic and efficient risk management program. As a result, the program can be integrated into every day business decisions and the culture of a company maximizing value and business decision capability. Through this integration, an organization will ensure sustained and optimal enterprise stewardship and full alignment with its risk tolerance.
Growing incidents of cyber hacking and security breaches of information systems (e.g., Sony, Target, JPMorgan Chase, Home Depot, Cathay Pacific Airlines) threaten the sustainability of many firms and costs the U.S. economy more than $100 billion annually. Business organizations should take these threats seriously and improve their Information Technology (IT) governance and compliance, and cybersecurity risk assessment and controls to effectively prevent cyber hacking and cybersecurity breaches. The existence and persistence of cyber-attacks has elevated expectations for boards of directors to exert greater risk and compliance oversight and for executives to develop and implement managerial strategies for risk management processes to combat cyber-attacks. This paper examines the importance and relevance of IT governance measures including the board oversight function and managerial risk assessment strategies in preventing cyber-attacks. This paper provides policy, practical and research implications.
Building trust means managing both the conditions and consequences of reputation risk. This presentation looks at how to integrate reputation management and reputation risk into the enterprise, across functions.

It is a reader friendly, practical and easy to follow presentation on the challenges that Financial Institutions have to cope with for a healthy and sustainable growth.
A soft & a qualitative approach to identifying, assessing and dealing with the risk of automating Processes. The focus is on the Person behind the Technology instead of the Technology itself.
Implementing Anti Money Laundering and Fraud Rules in BankingTriVersa
This presentation describes various financial crimes functional challenges and how to define and construct effective rules in support of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) or Electronic Fraud scenarios.
It is useful to those working in traditional or digital Banking sectors; especially working in departments such as Internal control, Compliance, Monitoring or Investigation.
Professionals in compliance or technology functions such as internal Control officers, compliance officer, rules developers, compliance supervisors and team leaders will also benefit as it aims to provide insight into effective rules that ensures their Banking operations remain compliant in line with ever-evolving electronic fraud and AML patterns.
Later sections of the presentation also describe Dixtior Compliance Solution as an effective solution to detect and combat money laundering in any banking institution.

I argue that much of what is proposed in the IFRS 9 document could have been accomplished through Pillar 2 of the Basel Accord in its 2006 release.
Pillar 2 was introduced to put to test Management Capabilities, and Regulatory Credibility. I argue that both failed that test which made the introduction of IFRS 9 a necessity.
Compliance is about identifying the risks that the financial institution could encounter as a result of “Failing To Comply”.
Conduct & document comprehensive Risks Assessment; and the planned remedial measures in a manner appropriate to the requirements of the compliance rule!
This is my message.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

have led to:
• Increased Usage of Impersonal Electronic Services: Low Cost
Electronic Services; Widespread and Diffused Customer Base. This, in
turn led to:
Lower Customer Intimacy.
Reduced Switching Costs Between Different Banks (Customers
these days are constantly shopping for the better deal)
Increased Chances of Fraud and Credit Risk
Increased the Demand for Transparency
• Less Time to Know and Influence Customers.
Research shows that Customer Interest peaks and falls rapidly
especially in response to a Promotional Event.
This makes it absolutely necessary for banks to optimally leverage
all available customer touch points so as to be able to influence
the customer (e.g., You find ads and offers on ATM receipts).
27. Mohammad Fheili – fheilim@jtbbank.com
Information Technology at the forefront of Operational Risk:
But ….!
The Introduction of any form of technology in a given production process or the mere
modification of an existing IT environment necessitates a number of changes which
spillover on Branch Performance: Staff Skills, Workflows, Policies & Procedures, and a
host of other changes.
In today’s technologically intense production
processes, information technology (IT) risks cannot be
considered independently of other types of risks since
it reflects on our ability to serve and satisfy our clients.
Recognizing these challenges and acknowledging that
the Branch has a role to play in managing this risk will
put management one step ahead. Because processes are
Technology dependent, Accurate, Complete and timely data collection has
changed from being mostly qualitative to overwhelmingly quantitative; Types/Nature
of Mistakes committed by Branch Employees are Different; etc.

29. Mohammad Fheili – fheilim@jtbbank.com
All Organizations need to take Risks to
achieve their Goals.
The Prevailing Risk Culture within an
Organization can make it significantly
Better or Worse at Managing these Risks.
Risk Culture significantly affects the
organizational capability to take strategic
risk decisions and deliver on
Performance Promises.
It’s never been about the
presence of a Risk Culture
nor the absence of!
Risk is there; like it or
not!
How Do You Do Things (&

Where Should We Go To Look For Risk Culture?

31. Mohammad Fheili – fheilim@jtbbank.com
Then We Should Go Look For Risk Culture In
Every individual comes to an

personal Perception of Risk.
Every individual comes with
his/er own Inventory of Moral
Values and these have a great
influence over the decisions
they make on day-to-day basis.
The Man In The
Mirror . . .
32. Mohammad Fheili – fheilim@jtbbank.com
People vary in all sorts of ways and this includes their predisposition toward Risk. Two
specific Traits:
1. The extent to which people are either:
spontaneous and challenge convention or
organized, systematic and compliant.
2. The extent to which people may be:
cautious, pessimistic and anxious, or
optimistic, resilient and fearless.
Organizations need to pay attention to the ethical profile of those working in their
business.
Every individual comes with their own inventory of moral values and these have a great
influence over the decisions they make on day-to-day basis.
Three ethical consciences, significantly influencing individuals’ Decision Making:
1. Ethic of Obedience (Rule Compliance, Spirit of the Law, etc.)
2. Ethic of Care (Empathy, Concern, Respect, etc.)
3. Ethic of Reason (Wisdom, Experience, Prudence, etc.)

Organizational
Culture
Individual values and beliefs and
attitudes toward risk contribute to
and are affected by the wider overall
culture of the organization.
It is useful to consider Organizational
culture in relation to two key
dimensions:
1. Sociability: People Focus (based on
how well staff get on socially)
2. Solidarity: Task Focus (based on
goal oriented and team
performance)

part of the FI, to continue on serving
the Client.
Otherwise, the FI would engage in
Derisking.
Enhance AML Compliance require:
The Use of Technology:
Quantification/Data-Rich vs.
Judgment/Opinion-Rich
Increase reliance on Technology: Less
Human Intervention;
Increase exposure to Technology
Failures: Different Sets of Skills are
required.
Reliance on Technology may Reduce
Frequency But Increase Impact.
Being Pragmatic About Compliance?

RiskManagement is a Decision & a Choice.
Compliance
With Regulatory Guidelines & Rules
Pillar 1 is More
Attractive.
Standardized Approach
in Credit & Market Risks
Basic Indicator
Approach in
Operational Risk.
Advanced Approaches
… No Way!
ICAAP only if Required
by Regulator; and the
bare minimum.
RCSA Marginalized.
IFRS 9 ………a
nightmare!
Pillar 2 is at the top
of Risk Management
Priorities.
Advanced
Approaches are
Effectively Explored.
ICAAP required by
Management as a
Desired Self-
Assessment Tool.
RCSA is Essential.
IFRS 9 is a welcomed
wakeup call.
Etc.

Risk Management of Today has been Contaminated by the
Complexity of Regulations. … Where in Many Jurisdictions Risk
Management should be as Simplistic as the Environment it
Operates in.
