Sergio Scandizzo has updated and expanded The Operational Risk Manager’s Guide in light of the 2007-9 crisis. The credit losses incurred have been exposed as primarily governance and operationally driven. In other words, credit losses were caused by failures in the governance of risk or in risk management operational standards.

The updates to The Operational Risk Manager’s Guide delivers practical information on how the operational risk manager’s role has expanded since the 2007-9 crisis and how to manage these new responsibilities.
