THE ANALYSIS OF METHODOLOGICAL INTEGRITY IN THE OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT OF MODERN BANKS

The aim of the article is to study the importance of maintaining methodological integrity in the operational risk management framework in Russian credit institutions. To reach the goal, an analysis of practical approaches to operational risk management is carried out, opportunities for optimising equity capital are presented. The major needs the credit institutions will face due to the transition of operational risk calculation to a new standardised approach are analysed. The significance of a systematic approach in operational risk management applied by credit institutions is determined.

The author’s approach is based on an item-by-item analysing the ratio of the amount of operational risk losses to the amount of expenses for applying operational risk management methods.

The scientific novelty of the research consists of highlighting the main practical approaches to managing bank risks in the context of digitalisation and development of financial technologies.
