Department Profile:
Operational Risk Department (ORD) works with the business units and control groups to help ensure Morgan Stanley has a transparent, consistent and comprehensive program for managing operational risk, both within each area and across the firm globally. Operational risk is the risk of financial loss or other potential damage to the firm’s reputation due to inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, or from external events. This group designs, implements and monitors the company-wide operational risk program.
Operational Risk refers to the risk of financial or other loss, or potential damage to a firm’s reputation, resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, or from external events (e.g., fraud, legal and compliance risks or damage to physical assets). The Firm may incur operational risk across the full scope of its business activities, including revenue-generating activities (e.g., sales and trading) and control groups (e.g., information technology and trade processing). Given the nature and breadth of operational risk, operational risks are managed at multiple levels e.g. Firmwide, as well as Regional, Business Unit, Infrastructure Group, Control Function and Legal Vehicle.
The Firm has developed an Operational Risk Management Framework to identify and assess significant operational risks and ensure appropriate mitigation actions are undertaken. The Framework is deployed across Business Units, Infrastructure Groups and Control Functions globally, regardless of Region or Legal Entity. The Framework is based upon a “Three Lines of Defense” model:
• 1st Line: Business Units/Infrastructure Groups - Own their operational risk & are responsible for its management
• 2nd Line: Oversight by Independent Risk Management and Control Functions - Partner with Business Units and Infrastructure Groups to anticipate, mitigate and report on operational risk
• 3rd Line: Independent Assessment by Internal Audit - Provides independent, assessment, validation and evaluation
ORD operates as part of the 2nd Line of Defense, providing independent governance and oversight of operation risk management across the Firm.
