This document discusses operational risk management in Islamic banking and finance. It begins by introducing operational risk and noting that it is complex to quantify. It then outlines four generic risks facing all banks and provides examples of how risks transform under different Islamic contracts. The document focuses on operational risk definitions and frameworks from the Islamic Financial Services Board. It discusses causes, examples, and management of operational risks, including Sharia, legal and fiduciary risks. Quantitative approaches like the Basic Indicator Approach and Standardized Approach are described and criticized for their limitations in fully capturing operational risk. The role of effective management in mitigating operational risk is emphasized.

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.

Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

10. OPERATIONAL RISK DEFINED
OPERATIONAL RISK is defined as the risk of loss resulting from the
inadequacy or failure of internal processes, as related to people and systems, or
from external risks [Van Greuning and Iqbal (2008), p. 174]
ISLAMIC FINANCIAL SERVICES BOARD [IFSB] includes Shari’a risk
under the definition of operational risk
[Guiding Principles of Risk Management for Institutions (other than Insurance
Institutions) Offering Only Islamic Finance Services 2005, No. 7]
SHARI’A [NON-COMPLIANCE] RISK is the risk that arises from an IFI’s
failure to comply with the Shari’a rules and principles determined by its Shari’a
Board or the relevant body in the jurisdiction in which the IFI operates
[IFSB, ibid, 7.2 (121)]

13. OPERATIONAL RISK: GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
OPERATIONAL RISK covers any risk that may arise from general and specific
operations of an organisation, and in the present context, banks in general and
Islamic banks and financial institutions in particular.
As it is general in nature, hence it is difficult to quantify it precisely. This is why it
has not been of a major focus prior to an emphasis on it by Basle Committee on
Banking Supervision [BSBC].
In a well-run bank (or financial institution), its incidence is expected to be less.
Hence, a starting point to quantify it must have something to do with the
management function.
Management consists of the interlocking functions of creating corporate
policy and organizing, planning, controlling, and directing an
organization's resources in order to achieve the objectives of that policy.
14. GENERAL OPERATIONAL RISKS
1. Failure to open branch(es) in time [part of people risk]
2. Misinformation to customers
3. Theft (stationery, equipment etc.) and misuse
4. Technology breakdown
5. Electricity shutdwon
6. Bad weather
7. Accidents
8. Acts of terrorism
9. An adverse Shari’a opinion about a product
10.Withdrawal of funds
11.A senior (Muslim) member of the executive management team of an Islamic
bank is seen drinking alcohol on QR302 flight and someone has uploaded a
video on YouTube with a caption: “Is it Islamic? Islamic Banks’ Non-Islamic
Bankers”
15. GENERAL OPERATIONAL RISKS
12.Somehow, your online banking system has a loophole and some online
search engines have started picking up “cache” pages of some of the
customers who view their accounts using a particular internet browser
16. OPERATIONAL RISKS IN ISLAMIC FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS
• Possible loss arising from Shari’a non-compliance of Islamic financial
institutions and failure of acting in accordance with the fiduciary
responsibilities of management of such institutions
• If an IFI / Islamic bank does not comply with Shari’a rules and principles, its
transactions must be cancelled and income generated from them shall be
considered as illegitimate
• Recent example:
– Bank Negara Malaysia issued new guidelines on Bai’ ‘Ina in 2012, which
came after the Shari’a guidelines for Islamic banks and Takaful companies,
making it clear that any non-compliance with Shari’a will not only be
considered as illegal but the bank will also have to claw back income from
the non-compliant transactions
17. OPERATIONAL RISKS IN ISLAMIC FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS
• FIDUCIARY RISK is thus also part of the IFSB’s definition of operational
risk
• IFSB’s PRINCIPLE 7.2
IFI / Islamic bank must have in place appropriate mechanisms to safeguard the
interests of all fund providers. Where Investment Account Holders [IAH]
funds are commingled with IFI’s own funds, IFI must ensure that the bases
for asset, revenue, expense and profit allocations are established, applied and
reported in a manner consistent with IFI’s fiduciary responsibilities.
[Guiding Principles of Risk Management for Institutions (other than
Insurance Institutions) Offering Only Islamic Finance Services 2005, No.
7.2]
18. OPERATIONAL RISKS IN ISLAMIC FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS
WHY IS SHARI’A RISK DEEMED AS PART OF THE OPERATIONAL
RISK?
• For example, if in an Bai’ ‘Ina transaction, an evidence was found that the
bank staff actually made the two transactions (first sale to the customer and
the second purchase from the customer) inter-linked, even verbally or through
an action, the transaction will be deemed Shari’a con-compliant and the bank
will be asked to claw back all the accrued income from the transaction and
donate it to charity (and possibly face some penalty from the regulator).
• This is certainly a failure in the Shari’a process on part of the personnel, and
hence should be considered as an operational risk.
19. OPERATIONAL RISKS IN ISLAMIC FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS
• In summary, operational risk in IFIs also include:
– Legal risk
– Shari’a risk
– Fiduciary risk
• Reputational risk arising from Shari’a non-compliance and failure to act in
accordance with the fiduciary duties of Islamic banks’ management is also
critical
20. SHARI’A, LEGALAND OPERATIONAL RISKS: SOME
EXAMPLES (1)
• A UAE-based Islamic bank sold a used car to a customer on Murabaha basis
• A few months into the contract, the customer met an accident while driving
the purchased car
• While dealing with the case, the police found out that the car was reported
missing a few months back
• [The bank actually happened to have bought a “stolen” car before selling it to
the customer]
• The customer disputed with the bank and asked for full refund of the money
he had already paid
• On the other hand, the bank wanted to accelerate the payments and asked the
customer to pay the amount in full
21. SHARI’A, LEGALAND OPERATIONAL RISKS: SOME
EXAMPLES (2)
• A Saudi bank provided seed capital for an Islamic equity fund
• The bank was informed that the fund would follow AAOIFI Shari’a screening
methodology
• The internal communication between the bank management and its Shari’a
Advisory Committee was in Arabic
• After the fund was launched by the fund manager, the Shari’a Advisory
Committee objected to the the impermissible income ratio used by the fund
• The fund used [IMPERMISSIBLE INCOME/TOTAL INCOME < 5] while
the Shari’a Advisory Committee proposed [IMPERMISSIBLE INCOME
/PERMISSIBLE INCOME < 5]
• LESSIONS ???
22. SHARI’A, LEGALAND OPERATIONAL RISKS: SOME
EXAMPLES (3)
• In 1998, an official of a UAE Islamic bank did not conform to the bank’s
internal credit term
• It cost the bank US$50 million
• This resulted in a one-day run on the bank’s deposits to the tune of US$138
million, representing 7 percent of the bank’s total deposits
[Van Greuning and Iqbal (2008), p. 175]
23. SHARI’A, LEGALAND OPERATIONAL RISKS: SOME
EXAMPLES (4)
• An Islamic bank had to incur losses on an international trade finance
transaction when a ship carrying the goods it had financed was captured by
pirates
• The bank had made the payment on the basis of FOB Shipping Point
• The transaction got delayed by three months
• The bank incurred a loss of 3-month credit income
24. OPERATIONAL RISKS SUMMARISED
Reputational Risk
Shari’a Risk
Fiduciary Risk
People Risk
Technology Risk
Displaced
Commercial Risk
Withdrawal Risk
There is certainly an overlapping of
these risks and it is important to take
into account double counting when
calculating operational risk capital
charge
26. OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT
•The Operational Risk Management framework should include:
– Identification
– Measurement
– Monitoring
– Reporting
– Control and
– Mitigation
27. OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT:
IDENTIFICATION
•Technology
– How many servers are hosting the data and IT systems?
– Is there a back-up server?
– Is the back-up server in the same place (building/street/city/country)?
– How many people are responsible server management and maintenance?
– What is the frequency of system back-ups?
– Where are the back-up tapes / CDs kept?
In 2012, computer failure cost RBS £100 million
28. OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT:
IDENTIFICATION
•Sales
– It is important for bank personnel to understand fully what they are
selling to their customers
– Advertisements on print and electronic media, one-on-one sale pitches
and all other marketing and sales material must go through strict scrutiny
– Telephonic sales calls must be recorded and scrutinised by the senior
management to identify “conversations” that may lead to potential losses
In UK, mis-selling of PPI has cost banks billions
of pounds
29. OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT:
IDENTIFICATION
•Documentation
–It is absolutely imperative that all the legal documents used for Islamic
financial products are vetted by competent personnel well-versed in
Shari’a and law
[In a lot of cases, law firms preparing documents for Islamic financial
contracts adpat/amend the templates that they otherwise use for
conventional financial products; this may leave reference to “interest”,
penalty etc unchanged, which may make the contract Shari’a non-
compliant]
–For conventional banks involved in Islamic banking and finance, it is
important that they ensure that the Shari’a documents are executed and a
proper record of the same is maintained, in addition to the legal
documentation required conventionally
31. OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT: BIA
• The BIA is based on the following simple formula:
KBIA = .GI
where
KBIA = Capital charge under BIA
= the pre-defined scaling factor set by BCBS
GI = average gross income over the last three years
• Gross income is used as a measure of operational risk because:
–It is a reasonable indicator of the size of the activities
–It is readily available
–It is verifiable
–It is reasonably consistent and comparable across jurisdictions
–It has the advantage of being counter-cyclical
32. OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT: BIA
• The gross income is the sum of:
–Net interest income
–Net non-interest income
–Net trading income
–Other income
• For Islamic banks, the gross income can be sum of:
–Net income from service-based activities
–Net trading income from the Murabaha, Salam, Ijara based transactions
–Other income may include investments in Shari’a compliant securities,
including Sukuk, and Mudaraba and Musharak based investments
33. OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT: STA
•The STA is a more detailed approach that classifies bank activities into eight
business lines:
1. Corporate finance
2. Trading and sales
3. Retail banking
4. Commercial banking
5. Payment and settlements
6. Agency services
7. Asset management
8. Retail brokerage
34. OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT: STA
•The STA is based on the following modified formula:
KSTA = i=1 i.GIi
where
KSTA = The capital charge under the Standardised Approach
GI = Average annual level of income in the last three years
i = Beta values for each business line

38. BIAAND STA : CRITICISM
– “Eating fried shrimps lead to capital punishment”
– Gross income approach – is it adequate to capture the incidence of
operational risk?
– How about other factors?
• Sources of income (number of products and investments)
• Stability/volatility of income
• Number of employees
• Number of clients
39. QUANTIFICATION OF OPERANTIONAL RISK:
MANAGEMENT APPROACH
– Instead of relating the operational risk to the size of the organisation (gross
income), it might not be a bad idea to look into the management function
deeply to come up with a measure of operational risk.
– For example, a one-man firm (an owner-managed firm) should have less
incidence of operational risk as compared to a firm with multiple personnel
(owners as well as managers).
• Hence, complexity of organisation should be considered as a factor that
may affect the operational risk
– More complex organisations should be more prone to operational
risk
– In complex organisations, both the management and control
functions should be strong to reduce incidence of operational risk
40. QUANTIFICATION OF OPERANTIONAL RISK:
MANAGEMENT APPROACH
– In IFIs, there should be an additional control function around
Shari’a compliance

48. MONITORING AND REPORTING OF OPERATIONAL
RISKS
• Operational risk grid should be made available to the top management on a
frequent basis
• Dedicated personnel working for the risk management and operational
management teams
• Operational risk grid should me made available throughout the organisation,
with a score
49. MITIGATION AND CONTROL OF OPERATIONAL
RISKS
• Assurance of compliance with Shari’a
– Setting up and maintaining a Shari’a Advisory Committee as per
regulatory requirements in a jurisdiction in which the IFI / Islamic bank
is operating
• Documentation of contractual arrangements
• Shari’a compliance review
• Calculation of the impermissible income and its disbursement in accordance
with the applicable Shari’a rules and guidelines
• The operational risk score should be a component in the bonus formula for
the top management
50. DISCUSSION POINTS
• Is incidence of operational risk more in Islamic banks than their conventional
counterparts? [Khan and Ahmed (2001), among others]
• Whether 8% capital minimum capital requirement is adequate in case of
Islamic financial institutions?
• Is there a need for a separate focus on operational risk management given that
it is part of the capital adequacy requirements for Islamic financial
institutions?
• Any other questions?
