These plans should identify the bank’s risks, assess the likelihood and impact of these risks, and develop strategies to mitigate these risks. The various risk policies should also be adaptable to different business conditions and interest rate scenarios. The bank must also have a strong internal control system in place to prevent modeling issues and errors. Periodic risk assessments and stress testing of mode variables assist with this ongoing process. By following the same concepts of balance and preparation, banks can reduce their risks and increase the chances of longterm success.
