Basel I, II, III: evolution of global banking regulation via @YouTube
It was interesting to watch this discussion.
Even the participants agreed to the fact that Basel Accords are a complete exercise in futility.
What might happen tomorrow is not known even to the best minds working in the area of financial bank risk management.
Being a risk management professional, I can very well understand how rogue traders can wreak havoc! the concept of having a Middle Office came into existence after the Baring fallout. Middle Office is supposed to check and re-check all transactions in real-time and at the close
of proceedings, i.e. Day -end basis. Risk Management failure more than anything else! Auditors having an accounting background are utter fools who don't understand how complex financial products are priced, hedged and transferred out to off-balance #GLAs.
Bumbling Fools is the right word used to describe the #Auditors and Risk Managers alike, Post-#GFC.

well, if one can get around the accounting and auditing systems, you can commit fraud on a massive scale.
That is what rogue traders do!
But, financial institutions have invested big time in hiring quants who can write codes and Greek symbols which board members don't comprehend
It's brilliant if your standard fraud risk assessor aka auditor and the quantitative risk manager can use the #Benford#Law to identify, proactively measure and control fraud risk-related predicate financial crimes.
But, first, do the basic work, before leapfrogging.
Early Grey Tea, can be refreshing, but, it gives me a terrible headache.
I don't know why?
Must be the oil of bergamot orange extractions added to the tea? @TheCoffeeBean
Compared to Earl Grey, the Lady Grey Tea, which is the Russian Version of this condiment mixed with black tea, can bring on more complex flavours.
Tea Tasting is very much like Wine or Tobacco Tasting.
You require special training and skills.
It is a highly-priced niche profession.

Every socio-economic, political, legal, natural disaster, man-made disaster, or another process, which leads to a negative outcome must be recorded and taxonomized as an incident having material or near-miss risk characteristics, in the right category box in the risk register.
Modern #ERM & Traditional Risk Management are getting more and divided.
ERM is not just about Operational Loss Management and Materiality Assessment based on Assurance and Risk Review drove Internal Controls and Testing, but, it goes beyond that! @IASassociation@TheIIA@BIS_org
More and more #Analytics is being used in both Auditing and Risk management, to understand the organizational dynamics of commercial strategy and the vulnerabilities associated thereof.
Especially the design, inserting and removal of Internal Controls is an analytical exercise.
