Operational Risk

Summary

Operational risk refers to the potential for loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, and systems or from external events.

Detailed Description

Operational risk encompasses various types of risks including potential losses arising from human errors, system failures, fraud, or natural disasters. It is a critical component in the management of overall risk within any organization, especially in industries that rely heavily on technology and large-scale operations. Unlike financial or market risk, operational risk is not easily quantifiable and can often go unnoticed until it results in significant losses.
