The England & Wales Chapter of the Institute of Operational Risk exists to support the IOR’s members in the region. The Chapter was established in 2012 and has provided many successful events over the years. The chapter continues to evolve and grow. We believe that the IOR, as a professional institute for operational risk management, should set an example for good governance and sound management. The Chapter is governed by a Chapter Executive Committee with clear assigned roles and responsibilities within the leadership team.

We aim to deliver value for money to our members by offering a variety of events, including interactive workshops, seminars presented by top industry professionals and networking events (most of them are free of charge for members). We will also continue to partner with other organisations to offer access and discounts at their events for our members. Please see our programme of upcoming events at the bottom of this page. We also aim to strengthen our membership base so you can make the most of networking opportunities.

Operational risk management has never been more important and is a focus of global and national regulators. We will keep you updated on material regulatory developments through ad hoc briefings and insight papers (as well of course as through events).

We also want to be closer to you and get in touch more often via email, social media and the IOR website. Of course, we will also want to hear back from you about the things you like and where we can improve. The Chapter welcomes suggestions from members for events and activities both in London and elsewhere in England and Wales – please email suggestions to David Goodyear

Implications of climate risk for operational risk management

Stories around climate risk are on the news daily, increasingly climate related factors are impacting our lives and at the forefront of risk management strategy and planning for financial services. But how does it fit in the risk management framework and what are the implications and impacts to operational risk?

This event will address these questions and will focus on three topics in particular:
1) Regulatory expectations regarding climate risk management.
2) Climate risk implications for operational risk management.
3) Quantification methodology and challenges.
