Optial - leading supplier of proven Operational Risk and Compliance Management solutions

 

Lexington partners with Optial to deliver proven Risk and Compliance Management solutions for Financial Firms.

 

The Optial solution can help to deliver to a Board, at the touch of a button, a clear understanding of a Firm’s operational risk position and key risk drivers together with the mitigation processes and control infrastructure that have been set up to address these risks. It can also deliver the transparency across all operating territories and business units so that management teams can identify any endemic or systemic operational issues that could result in significant exposures or adverse publicity.

 

Every Firm has a unique business model and corresponding risk profile - even more pronounced for multinational Firms operating across several jurisdictions. Optial doesn't try to impose 'one size fits all' processes onto its clients; rather Optial helps their clients build Total Corporate Governance by mapping an organisation structure, operational performance criteria and control processes into an overall risk model.

 

Optial’s simple data entry techniques, loss/incident database, operational risk self assessments, key risk indicators and monitoring processes are underpinned by a strong workflow engine, which helps Firms achieve a cultural shift to embed operational risk and associated control processes into daily work routines globally. Workflow in Optial ensures that nothing is forgotten or missed; an alert is given to management if an activity is late.

 

Being able to demonstrate effective management of operational risk and compliance, which Optial delivers, is essential to protect shareholder value and can result in a reduced capital requirement under an Advanced Management Approach.

 

Optial can help management teams to understand and control their operational risks over the total enterprise, across the various businesses and geographies of a Firm, while supporting local management teams at the coal face, including local language user interfaces and reporting.

Optial has the largest installed blue-chip geographic footprint of any Operational Risk and Compliance platform: it is deployed across 50 countries by a client base including Standard Chartered Bank and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (SEB), whose global deployment covers nearly 20,000 users in 20 countries around the globe in 6 languages. SEB are now able to show clearly to their supervisor that they meet the criteria for Basel II AMA recognition. Optial is supported from centres in London, Atlanta and Sydney.
