Abstract

[fre] Le renforcement du contrôle des risques, notamment ceux qui se rapportent aux activités spécifiques de la banque d’affaires (gestion de patrimoine, le «haut de bilan» ainsi que les activités de marché liées notamment aux services rendus à la clientèle et à la gestion des fonds propres) est une préoccupation constante des autorités de tutelle. Cet article montre ainsi qu’un contrôle efficace de ces risques est à l’image de la banque d’affaires : diversifié dans ses modalités et dans ses domaines d’intervention. L’attention encore accrue qui doit être apportée au contrôle interne est ainsi un gage de sécurité interne et externe. Interne car la maîtrise des risques générés par les activités de banque d’affaires constitue un enjeu croissant dans la mesure où les activités de «haut de bilan» produisent des résultats de plus en plus récurrents pour les établissements de crédit. Externe car dans le contexte actuel d’intensification de la concurrence entre les banques d’affaires, l’émergence de risques de marché ou opérationnels, et partant, de pertes comptables ou de litiges avec la clientèle, porte en effet préjudice aux résultats de la banque comme à son image et donc à la pérennité de son fonds de commerce. [eng] Risk control in investment banks. The strengthening of the risks control, notably those related with specific activities of investment banking is a constant preoccupation of trust authorities. This paper indicates that an efficient risk control is like the investment banks : diversified in its modalities and in its intervention domains. The attention offered to internal control can be considered as a proof of internal and external reliability : internal because risk control generated by the activities of investment banks constitutes a increasing stake since «high of the balance sheet» activities produce more and more recurrent results. External because, in the actual increasing competition between investment banks, the emergence of operational and market risks and the financial losses or the possibility of lawsuits associated with theses risks, can inflict on the financial results of the bank, on his image and on the perenniality of his activity.
