This eventually poses challenges when normalizing the way identified risks are measured, managed and mitigated. One way organizations keep their risk assessments focused and structured is through Bow-Tie analysis. Named for how the risk assessment resembles a picture of a "bow-tie" when completed, the Bow-Tie analysis method is used for risk assessment, risk management and especially for effective risk communication. 2011-08-16T00:00:00Z 2011-08-16T00:00:00Z 2011-08-16T00:00:00Z http://www.curarisk.com/pages/News_List_Display.asp?NewsSectionID=5&NewsID=141&More=Risks Facing Business in South Africa (IRMSA 2011 Recap) The Institute of Risk Management South Africa (IRMSA) in association with The Cruywagen / IRMSA Risk Foundation and the Institute of Directors Southern Africa, hosted the inaugural Risk Lab conference on 19 July at the Sandton Southern Sun in Johannesburg.

Bad? Who Knows? A few weeks ago new capital requirements for banks were agreed to, called Basel III, which were surprisingly less stringent than expected. The new Tier 1 capital ratios released are for more onerous than before, with regulators agreeing to test a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3%, which in simple terms means that banks can only lend 33 times their capital - certainly much lower than before. To understand this a bit better, Tier 1 is a percentage of the risk weighted assets. Now, much hinges on what banks are allowed to include in their Tier 1 calculations. If its only equity and retained earnings, we should be fine. But is it starts being watered down to include car-loans, home-loans etc. then we should be concerned. And banks have plenty of time to argue for changes to Basel III, coupled with the "think global, act local" changes each country will adopt. 2010-09-23T00:00:00Z 2010-09-23T00:00:00Z 2010-09-23T00:00:00Z http://www.curarisk.com/pages/News_List_Display.asp?NewsSectionID=5&NewsID=128&More=Compliance Challenges in South Africa Howard Zev, Executive Vice President, Cura Software Solutions chatted to Enterprise Risk about the compliance challenges CEOs and compliance officer's face and the latest solutions. 2010-06-07T00:00:00Z 2010-06-07T00:00:00Z 2010-06-07T00:00:00Z http://www.curarisk.com/pages/News_List_Display.asp?NewsSectionID=5&NewsID=127&More=Global Risks to Consider in 2010 This article is based in part on our advisory and management feedback as well as from having surveyedour global customer base, asking them what was at the top of their minds. 2010-05-04T09:52:00Z 2010-05-04T09:52:00Z 2010-05-04T09:52:00Z
