Report - November 2023

The Top Risk Review provides insights into the key current top operational risks facing the financial services industry 


Get an industry view of the risk landscape

Our twice-yearly Top Risk Reviews provide an industry-wide picture of risk profiles. It's based on insights from operational risk professionals from financial services firms around the world.

Each participating individual shares their personal views on the most concerning material risks facing the industry today. They also share what they believe is driving any changes.

You can use Top Risk Review to validate and challenge your risk profile against the 16 material risks assessed, with a focus on the top five material risks identified and the effectiveness of risk management practices. It also provides comparisons and commentary on changes in trends since last year.


More than 120 risk experts from 70 financial firms took part in the November 2023 review. The participants came from the first and second lines of defence in both the banking and insurance sectors, with responses from individuals based in Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe. This Top Risk Review report is available to all ORX members.

“As organisations continue to make improvements to their risk management practices, average materiality scores have reduced across all but three risks (Third Party, Technology and Model) since our last review.”
