The Basel II Framework describes a comprehensive measure and minimum standard for capital adequacy. It seeks to improve the existing rules by aligning regulatory capital requirements more closely to the underlying risks that banks face.
In addition, the Basel II Framework is intended to:
- Promote a more forward-looking approach to capital supervision
- Encourage banks to identify the risks they may face, today and in the future
- Develop or improve their ability to manage risks
- Enable banks to evolve with advances in markets and risk management practices.
The Operational Risk management requirements of organisations today mean these challenges can be addresses by taking a systematic approach to support the chosen methodology for identifying, assessing, measuring and monitoring your operational risk.
Optial software system has been designed as a robust, flexible scalable system that encourages banks to identify the risks they may face, today and in the future, and to develop a more robust ability to manage those risks. It is intended to be flexible and better able to evolve with advances in markets and risk management practices.
