Risk.net The biggest op risks for the year ahead, as chosen by senior industry practitioners Welcome to Risk.net’s annual ranking of the top op risks for 2021, based on a survey of operational risk practitioners across the globe and in-depth interviews with respondents. As in years past, there is no great secret to the methodology: Risk.net’s editorial team gets in touch with 100 chief risk officers, heads of operational risk and senior practitioners at financial services firms, including banks, insurers, asset managers and infrastructure providers, and asks them to list their five most pressing op risk concerns for the year ahead. The results are then weighted and aggregated, and are presented in brief below and analysed in depth in 10 accompanying articles.
