Operational Risk Management Using a Fuzzy Logic Inference System

Journal of Financial Transformation, 2010, vol. 30, 141-153

Abstract: Operational Risk (OR) results from endogenous and exogenous risk factors, as diverse and complex to assess as human resources and technology, which may not be properly measured using traditional quantitative approaches.

Engineering has faced the same challenges when designing practical solutions to complex multifactor and non-linear systems where human reasoning, expert knowledge, and imprecise information are valuable inputs. One of the solutions provided by engineering is a Fuzzy Logic Inference System (FLIS).

The choice of a FLIS for OR assessment results in a convenient and sound use of qualitative and quantitative inputs, capable of effectively articulating risk management’s identication, assessment, monitoring, and mitigation stages.

Different from traditional approaches, the proposed model allows for evaluating mitigation efforts ex-ante, thus avoiding concealed OR sources from system complexity build-up and optimizing risk management resources. Furthermore, because the model contrasts effective with expected OR data, it is able to constantly validate its outcome, recognize environment’s shifts, and issue warning signals.
