		Difficulties in collating clean data and poor awareness among staff are the major obstacles to effective operational risk management, according to a recent survey by Risk Waters Group and SAS.
		The second most pressing issue was the poor overall awareness of operational risk issues by staff, due largely to lack of clear education programs in operational risk, lack of communication and limited knowledge sharing.
		One could argue that the loss of key personnel in a bank is a much greater risk than IT systems failures, which are already subjected to all sorts of controls such as disaster recovery and business continuity planning.

		CARY, N.C. (Aug. 9, 2004) - Financial institutions identified credit risk management as a far bigger issue than a simple matter of regulatory compliance, according to the findings of a recent survey from Risk Waters Group and SAS, the leader in business intelligence.
		We think it is ahead of the consultants and vendors on the 'supply side' of the market who are still pushing the regulatory agenda, perhaps to reduce sales cycles," he continued.
		Data management, including the reporting infrastructure and developing the credit risk warehouse still represents a huge part of the strategic challenge for many organizations, so it is no surprise that money continues to be invested at around 36 percent of total expenditure by respondents to address these requirements," added Mestchian.
