The reports are a chance to get analysis and insight into an unrivalled global dataset. They help you understand important trends and developments in operational risk.

The reports include analysis by business line, event type and explore regional differences in the data. The 'Event types in focus' sections explore key risks in more detail.

What's in the reports

The full versions of either the insurance or banking ORX Annual Operational Risk Loss reports are available for you to purchase for just £1,500.

Both reports  provide a comprehensive analysis of the operational risk loss data in the ORX global databases for each sector, including:

  • High-level annual trends
  • Business line breakdown
  • Event type breakdown
  • Impact of the distribution
  • Geographic breakdown
  • Event types in focus – External fraud
  • Event types in focus – Clients, products & business practices
  • Event types in focus – Execution, delivery & process management (insurance report only)

Separate reports for the banking and insurance industries

Because we understand that banks and insurers experience operational risk events differently, ORX members can submit their loss data to either the banking or insurance loss databases. This means they have access to sector-specific data for benchmarking and reporting (find out more about the ORX global loss data exchange).

This also means we're able to produce two different reports with data and analysis tailored to your sector. Just choose which report you'd like to purchase, and fill in the form above to request an invoice.
