  2. Challenge • Bank operations pose the greatest risk to bank failure and is the subject of increasing regulation • The challenge to a bank is to provide comprehensive, integrated, easy to use tools to department managers to capture their knowledge and enlist their support for improving the safety and soundness of operations • Goal is to move an organization’s approach from compliance to operations risk management

  3. Maturity Model • Where is your organization on the maturity spectrum? • Where do you want your organization to be? • How can IT lead the way, involve others, without bearing all the responsibility and cost?

  4. Maturity Categories • Level 1: Ad-hoc process, disjointed, no management of data, task force oriented, done before regulators arrive, annually, only done to comply, no special software • Level 2: Ad-hoc process, defined roles, disparate electronic documents, reviewed by management, annually, only done to comply • Level 3: Process is understood, roles are defined, documentation is distributed across the organization, need to improve efficiency is recognized, still only done to comply • Level 4: Process is understood and efficiency is a central focus, data management is critical, roles are honed, management regularly reviews analysis and reports (at least quarterly), operations risk responsibilities are understood by each department manager • Level 5: Organization uses an integrated approach to managing the many regulations, capturing data once, analyzing once, leveraging multiple times, in a distributed use, centrally managed system. The system is a useful tool to each department manager. Management views risk management reports weekly. New regulations do not pose major burden.

  18. MERIT FIL-13-2004 February 4, 2004 MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY, RISK-FOCUSED, INSTITUTION TARGETED (MERIT) EXAMINATIONS TO: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER SUBJECT: Expanded Use of FDIC's Streamlined Examination Program Called "MERIT" - Maximum Efficiency, Risk-Focused, Institution Targeted Examinations The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has expanded the use of its streamlined examination program begun in April 2002.  The "MERIT" program - for Maximum Efficiency, Risk-Focused, Institution Targeted Examinations - applied to banks that met basic eligibility criteria, which included having total assets of $250 million or less and satisfactory regulatory ratings.  Under the expanded MERIT program, well-rated banks with total assets of $1 billion or less will now be eligible.  MERIT Examination Procedures During a MERIT examination, the examiners will use procedures that focus on determining the adequacy of an insured depository institution's internal control systems, and that focus on reviewing the internal and external audit programs.  Examiners will devote significant attention to an overall assessment of the institution's risk-management processes.  They will review an institution's lower-risk activities primarily through discussions with management and by monitoring the activities through various off-site analytical programs.

  19.
