Prevent operational failures before they become losses.
Operational Risk Management
Deep‑dive process reviews and technology‑enabled detection and remediation.
OVERVIEW
SEDA's Operational Risk Management practice supports financial institutions in identifying, assessing, and mitigating operational risks across front-to-back operating processes — from trade execution and settlement through compliance, finance, and technology.
We combine deep process expertise with technology-enabled analysis to surface root causes, design durable controls, and build monitoring capabilities that detect emerging risks before they crystallize into losses or regulatory findings.
Our practitioners have led operational risk functions at global banks, built fraud and error detection systems, and supported regulatory examinations of operational risk frameworks.

Typical deliverables
What to expect from an engagement.
01
Operational Risk Assessment
Structured review of the operational risk framework, risk appetite, governance, and control effectiveness across key risk categories.
02
Process Review Report
Deep-dive analysis of specific processes, with root cause identification, control gap assessment, and remediation recommendations.
03
04
Scenario Analysis Report
Structured scenarios for stress testing operational risk exposures, with capital implications and control response analysis.
KRI Dashboard

PROCESS AREAS COVERED
Operational risk before it becomes headline risk.
Operational failures cost financial institutions billions each year — in losses, fines, and remediation. SEDA's operational risk team has led post-incident reviews at major institutions and built the detection and control programs that prevent recurrence.
Trade execution and booking
