01 / REFRAME THE OPENING
Start with what managers
need to do.
The source opens with a broad description of the industry. The proposal starts with concrete responsibilities: recognising risk, assessing controls and escalating with clear ownership.
BEFORE / SOURCE EXCERPT
Background
The organisation is operating in an increasingly complex banking and financial-services environment where the ability to effectively manage operational risks, internal controls and financial crime-related exposures is becoming increasingly important.
As regulatory requirements, digital transformation, changing customer expectations, operational resilience considerations and financial crime risks continue to evolve, management and employees across the first line are expected to demonstrate greater understanding of their respective roles and responsibilities in the management of risk.
