The Basel II Capital Accord is compelling large, internationally active banks to see operational risk in a new, brighter light. By formally introducing operational risk into risk management and capital calculation, Basel II is moving these institutions to explicitly identify, measure and report information related to operational risk. Many smaller banks and non-bank financial institutions are following suit.

Yet precisely what Basel II will require remains a work in progress. Institutions are being directed to meet compliance deadlines as regulations are still being written, leaving them uncertain whether the approaches they take, and the expenditures they make, will ultimately pass muster.

BearingPoint has identified seven pitfalls that financial institutions should consider as they attempt to comply with the still-evolving operational risk requirements of Basel II and offers insights on how to generate enterprise value as institutions address compliance.
