CFTC Hopes To Form New Risk Management Office For FY2011 NASDAQ

Date: 03.02.10

By Sarah N. Lynch, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)-The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission hopes a proposed increase to its budget will allow it to create a new office geared toward detecting and reacting to emerging new risks to the marketplace.

This new Enterprise Risk Management Office would be funded by a portion of President Barack Obama's proposed fiscal-year 2011 budget increase and would " coordinate agency responses to address risks to markets and institutions the CFTC regulates," according to CFTC spokesman David Gary.

The idea of creating an office to monitor markets for emerging new risks isn't a new concept. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2004 launched the Office of Risk Assessment, which was also designed to spot new trends or problems in the markets and serve as an enterprise-wide office to work with all of the SEC's divisions to police for risk.

SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro last year combined that office with several others to form a new Division of Risk, Strategy and Financial Innovation and tapped University of Texas Law School Professor Henry T.C. Hu to run it.

How can a corporation effectively enforce drug policy if the HR Director/Risk Manager is on drugs?

Aug 29, 2007 by MЯ BAIT™ | Posted in Corporations |

The HR Director/Risk Manager is the same person.
Thank You AlexAtlanta but I do NOT do drugs and the person is directly impacting/influencing my life.

However, by title, it is also the person responsible for scheduling random drug tests.


I believe that it is possible to report him/her, if it is deemed a serious enough problem (to the Police, if need be). You can try to confront him/her if you like- I'm not sure how responsive your HR Director/Risk Manager will be. .but you can try. Perhaps recommend "Drug Intervention/Treatment" to your "Boss". This person does truly need help.


same way our nation things it can function with our president drunk and stoned all the time.

Party On Crawford!


The drug policy is set in place to aviod lawsuits, not to foster a cleaner socioty. If someone gets hurt, or in law trouble, they will be drug tested/fired. Including the HR Manager.


It's totally hypocritical. Why is it that only the people at the top don't have to be drug tested? I guess it's the same reason why the politicians who make these drug laws are on drugs themselves.


Someone else's failure to comply with rules does not relieve you of your responsibilities.

You agreed to the policy as a condition of employment. You are responsible for fulfilling YOUR obligations. You have no right or reason to worry about other people's obligations. Their breach of the agreement is between them and your employer. You are not involved in their employment agreement.

Why would you possibly care about other people if they are not directly impacting you, your life or your job? Don't use this as an excuse to do drugs. Such an excuse would be pathetic.


Is the accounting department 'not so good with numbers', too?

As a risk manager of a large firm, what risks do you think your firm faces? For a
small firm? What accounts for the most important differences?


One of the biggest risks is death of key employees. But there may be many. Destruction of premises by fire, whatever.
In a financial organisation it may be large fines due to breach of compliance by employee.
Bad debt.
Competition


Market risk,operational risk, systemic risk , and credit riskare the common risks faced by a firm ,big or small

what does a risk manager in a bank do?

Apr 16, 2007 by Leonard K | Posted in Financial Services |

I want to apply for an advertised job of risk manager in a bank but I have no idea what it requires. I've worked in a bank before but that position didn't exist.


It depends whether it's operations or loan related.
Though the position is usually within a compliance
department. A Risk Manager performs internal
audits to ensure compliance with regulations. They
must be versed in regulations set forth by the OCC
(federal) or State Banking Commisioner or FDIC
as well as the banks internal policies and procedures.
To a degree, all officers of a bank are responsible for
risk management. The operations supervisers at the
branch level are responsible for ensuring subordinate
personnel are performing within set perimeters that
reduce risk. Loan officers, especially commercial and
corporate banking officers, are responsible at a branch
level for ensuring compliance with all loan covenants
thus minimizing the risk for loss. At the highest level of
auditing, the person would most likely be fired if the
bank scored low on the community reinvestment act
CRA Audit or if a large percentage of loans went bad or the bank routinely erred in the filing of CTR large currency transaction reporting to the IRS... a bank
is subject to annual audits and the audits can be requested
by anyone who wants to see them. How well they score
in such audits affects whether that bank can expand, enter into negotiations to buy or merge with another bank, not to mention fines and penalties, etc...


a risk manager caculates the risk of giving people loans based on there credit history and employment histoey.By the way that is just a guess but a damn good one.

In making a decision what would be the amount of risk a manager is willing to take?

May 14, 2007 by rahul s | Posted in Corporations |

I mean to ask how good a manager should be in judging and taking a decision and what would be the factors that affects the risk...as a corporate manager sometimes i fall in dilemma in making a decision


This is going to sound crude, but I don't mean to be. At my last place of employment I was acting COO. I didn't make it that far by feeling insecure about making a decision. If you are unsure you think about it and sleep on it overnight and then decide. I have even gone so far as to do research before making a decision to make sure there will be no legal consequences. I have always made sure that any decision I made did not directly effect any particular person to avoid employee conflicts and employee morale issues. As a corporate manager you shouldn't be double guessing yourself in this manner. You may be looking at a termination some where down the line when your superiors realize you lack this very essential skill requirement. And for the record I was not fired. I had to leave due to illness and they have been gracious enough to allow me to work from home in a different capacity, but still management.
