Risk: E-banking improves a bank’s performance and competitiveness so that existing customers can be benefited from greater degree of convenience in effecting transactions. However, the banks are facing with different levels of risks and expectations arising from E-banking as compared to traditional banking services. There are various kinds of risks are involved with E-banking. It has sole distinctiveness that may enlarge an institution's overall danger profile and the level of risk associated with usual financial services, strategic, operational, reputation and legal risks. Due to the starter of E-banking technology, operational risks are on the rise and should be maintained in a proper way. The bank needs to manage these risks in the areas of security, data confidentiality, data system integrity, system availability and outsourcing. These risks are closely linked

Investment in technology involves significant start-up costs. Adequate opinion of experts is needed. Supervisors must ensure that management of banks are aware of these risks involved in E-banking and carefully access their strategic options so that the added uncertainties may be compensated by additional

Risk is a part of daily life, but our attitudes and approaches to risk vary depending on a range of factors such as context, time, situation, previous experience, etc. To assess different situation, we will use different approach as well as if we are considering risk that we are taking in personal life or risks that service user are taking in theirs. The risk assessment process is not about creating huge amounts of paperwork; it is about identifying and taking sensible and proportionate measures to control the risks. The provision of care and support should be tailored to meet the needs of the individual and should encourage them to do what they can for themselves.
One recent lawsuit dealing with a financial scandal is the Wells Fargo fake accounts scandal. In 2016, it was revealed that Wells Fargo employees had opened millions of unauthorized bank accounts and credit card accounts in the names of customers, without their knowledge or consent. This allowed the employees to meet sales quotas and earn bonuses. As a result of the scandal, Wells Fargo paid a $185 million fine to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other regulatory agencies. In addition, the company faced several class-action lawsuits from affected customers.
Potential risks can come in all shapes and sizes and if left undetected, risks can develop into hazardous consequences. “Risk identification is the process whereby the risk management professional becomes aware of risks in the health care environment that constitute potential loss exposures for the institution” (Carroll, 2009, 15). Risk managers seek to gather information to warn about potential risks through an array of sources, such as generic occurrence screenings (patient records, incident reports, etc.), patient surveys, incident reports and claims, state licensure surveys, the organization’s infection control and performance improvement units, The Joint Commission and other similar group surveys (the National Committee of Quality Assurance Surveys, liability insurers, risk management consultants), contracts, and last but not least informal discussions with managers and staff. Spotting risks before they happen is key (Carroll, 2009,
The two health hazards that I have chosen are Infections and Substances. Infections: If you are not following the correct procedures you are putting your own life and the service user’s life’s in risk. Food hygiene in care settings must be scrupulous as if you do not take care
However, like any other medical procedure, there are risks involved. Some examples of risk being identified are as following: a)
President Ronald Reagan once stated that “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” To many, this statement might infer that government is watching over its constituents and institutions by implementing systems of checks and balances so that moral, physical and financial harm are not done to one another. Unfortunately, Reagan’s administration is credited with beginning a 30-year period of financial deregulation which began with allowing savings and loan institutions to invest deposits into risky securities. The result of such deregulation was a 124 billion dollar bailout for these institutions funded by the American taxpayers.
Case File: Assignment One 1. What are the present dangers, safety threats or impending safety threats? Throughout the case file, we can see that the mother, Andrea S., has many types of personal and health issues: depression, schizophrenia, and bi-polar disorder.
Bank of America: Mobile Banking This essay is based on the case “Bank of America: Mobile Banking” which is dated on May 2012. We will first present benefits mobile banking provide to consumers and highlight reasons why many consumers haven’t adopted mobile banking yet. Furthermore, we will look into Bank of America motivation to offer mobile banking to its customers and review associated costs and risks of mobile banking implementation. Then understand what lessons can the bank learn from its online banking operations and analyze costs and benefits of having customers migrate to online banking.
The existing customer is the last group to ask about disruptive technologies, as they care more about sustaining technologies. This process could be too filled with bureaucracy, arrogance and poor planning. For this reason a recommendation should be made to house the Internet product in a separate independent entity. The independent entity will be able to test and validate at a much quicker rate and will not affect the main Schwab business when missteps are made.
And as discussed by Reinbeck and Fitzsimons (2013) organizations need to focus on safety as well as
To begin, The Wells Fargo cross-selling scandal arose from the opening of millions of fake savings and checking accounts on behalf of Wells Fargo customers without their permission. The deception became widely known in late 2016 when the corporation was penalized a total of US$185 million by different regulatory organizations, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Additional civil and criminal proceedings are expected to cost the corporation $2.7 billion by the end of 2018. The establishment of these bogus accounts is still having legal, financial, and reputational consequences for Wells Fargo and former bank officials as late as November 2022 (Wikipedia contributors, 2023). Importance of Ethics in Managing Business
At times the concepts have been used interchangeably without trying to understand the underlying factors. They have also been associated with a single cause that is to understand a physical phenomenon which was inevitable, as well as uncontrollable at the same time. Much clarity has now been arrived at understanding these two concepts. Vulnerability can be defined as the internal risk factor that a subject or system is exposed to while dealing with an external factor like hazard or other life changing situations. These internal risk factors or intrinsic factors can be defined as defencelessness or ability to cope.
Question 4 Case I. Big E. Bank Nancy Smith is the director of network infrastructure for Big E. Bank (BEB). BEB has just purchased Ohio Bank (OB), a small regional bank that has 30 branches spread over Ohio. OB has a WAN connecting five cities, in which it has branches, to OB’s main headquarters in Columbus. It has a series of MANs in those cities, which in turn connect to the LANs in each of the branches. The OB network is adequate but uses very different data link, network, and transport protocols than those used by BEB’s network.
Of particular relevance is the need to assess whether products, processes, situations and activities could increase the risk of significant health consequences for human populations. The department of health in Western Australia has endorsed the use of health risk assessments of potential impacts to health during the planning stages of new developments and to evaluate activities where potential risks to health are being considered (Henrici, 2005). The processes outlined in this document provide a more specific characterization of potential risks to the public than currently available and being developed to assist proponents and others required to undertake formal impact assessments for new developments. These processes may also be useful for other forms of assessments where risks to the public are being considered. Users are also referred to the following publications when undertaking risk assessments for health: health risk assessment in Western Australia (department of health) environmental health risk assessment: guidelines for assessing human health risks from environmental hazards (ehealth council, department of health and aging).
