Abstract

[fre] L’importance croissante prise par le risque opérationnel a conduit le Comité de Bâle à décider d’en imposer la couverture par des fonds propres. Cette décision suppose d’être capable de le mesurer avec précision, ce qui n’est pas sans poser des difficultés compte tenu de la nature particulière de ce risque. Une définition du risque opérationnel centrée sur ses manifestations visibles, les pertes, a ainsi été retenue. Toutefois, cette définition s’est traduite par l’exclusion de certaines composantes du risque opérationnel. Afin de capter ces éléments de nature avant tout qualitative, une approche globale, davantage centrée sur les causes et la prévention, est nécessaire. C’est ce que prévoient le pilier 2 de la réforme de Bâle II, mais aussi certaines évolutions réglementaires françaises récentes, en matière, par exemple, de plan de continuité, de conformité ou d’externalisation. . Classification JEL : G28, K23 [eng] The scope of operational risk under Basel 2 and beyond . Due to the growing importance of operational risk over the recent period, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision decided to establish minimum capital requirements for it. This decision implies a precise measuring of this risk, which is difficult considering its particular and diverse nature. Therefore a definition of operational risk based on its visible consequences, the losses, has been introduced. However, this definition is focused on financial, quantifiable elements and some components of operational risk are thus excluded from its scope under the first pillar of Basel 2. To capture all the dimensions of operational risk, a global and more preventive approach is necessary. To a large extent, this is addressed by the second pillar 2 of Basel 2, but also by some recent French regulations, dealing with for example emergency plans, compliance or outsourcing. .
