Which of the following statements are true:

Which of the following statements are true:

I. Top down approaches help focus management attention on the frequency and severity of loss events, while bottom up approaches do not.

II. Top down approaches rely upon high level data while bottom up approaches need firm specific risk data to estimate risk.

III. Scenario analysis can help capture both qualitative and quantitative dimensions of operational risk.
A . III only
B . II and III
C . I only
D . II only

Answer: B

Explanation:

Top down approaches do not consider event frequency and severity, on the otherhand they focus on high level available data such as total capital, income volatility, peer group information on risk capital etc. Bottom up approaches focus on severity and frequency distributions for events. Statement I is therefore not correct.

Top down approaches do indeed rely upon high level aggregate data and tend to infer operational risk capital requirements from these. Bottom up approaches look at more detailed firm specific information. Statement II is correct.

Scenario analysis requires estimating losses from risk scenarios, and allows incorporating the judgment and views of managers in addition to any data that might be available from internal or external loss databases. Statement III is correct. Therefore Choice ‘b’ is the correct answer.
