地方商业银行信息科技风险初探

正随着银行业对信息技术的依赖程度日益提升,信息科技风险亦随之上升。信息科技风险具有影响范围广、突发性强、技术含量高、复杂度高、隐藏性深等特点,直接影响商业银行的稳健经营,关乎商业银行声誉、金融安全和社会稳定,是商业银行面临的主要风险。特别是规模比较小的地方性商业银行,如何在快速推进信息系统建设的同时,加强信息科技风险管理,减少或杜绝银行因信息科技而给自身或客户带来损失,是目前信息化建设需要研究的重要课题。     

IT审计发展新思路

商业银行在金融体系以及社会发展和进步中扮演着越来越重要的角色,同时信息技术已经渗透到商业银行经营的各个层面。在信息技术高速发展的今天,几乎每一个银行业务的处理都高度依赖信息系统的支持,商业银行的信息科技能力逐渐成为商业银行参与市场竞争的银行核心竞争力之一。信息科技也逐渐从银行业务支持者的定位向银行业务引领者演变。商业银行信息科技已经成为银     

商业银行信息科技领域操作风险防范的研究

随着信息科学技术的发展和运用，商业银行对信息科学技术的依赖性越来越大，而信息科学技术领域在使用过程中对业务经营可能造成的风险驱动因素和危害也越来越多。为实现对信息科技领域风险的识别、评价、预警和控制，有效防范银行业信息科技领域在业务处理、经营管理过程中产生的风险，促进我国商业银行安全、持续、稳健运行，需要将信息科技领域及其使用过程中的安全性、可靠性和有效性置于重要位置，在提高信息科技领域运行保障能力、完善信息科技风险管理制度及信息系统安全运行体系等方面下功夫，在此基础上加大风险防范力度，以有效、安全的信息     

银行信息科技风险管理架构及实施建议

随着金融信息科技的发展,银行业务对信息科技的依赖逐渐加深,目前已发展到没有信息科技的支持银行将无法开展业务、信息系统一旦发生大面积瘫痪甚至会导致银行无法正常营业的风险,因此,对于信息科技风险的有效控制和管理成了商业银行内生的强大动力。事实上,在《新巴塞尔资本协议中》,信息科技风险是银行操作风险中"系统、人员、流程"中最为重要的组成部分,中国银监会更是将信息科技风险作为单独的风险予以监督和     

用IT审计管控信息科技风险

当前,信息科技为各项业务的运营提供着后台支持保障,对各项业务稳定持续的发展起着至关重要、不可或缺的作用.可以说,离开了信息科技这个平台的支撑,银行的对外服务和日常内部工作就无法进行,因此控制信息科技风险、保证信息系统稳定运行对商业银行I生命攸关.特别是我国的大型商业银行,都已经不同程度地实现了数据大集中,IT运行风险也...     

商业银行信息系统研发风险管控新思路

随着商业银行信息化水平的逐步提高,以业务信息系统为核心的科技部门越来越有力地发挥着基础支撑作用;与此同时,随着网络互联放程度的逐步加深,信息系统面临的信息安全风险也日益加剧。本文从商业银行信息系统风险的现状出发,结合国际、国内相关安全标准,以及国内行业监管要求和佳实践,提出基于安全研发过程的信息系统风险管控方法,以促进商业银行提升信息科技风险防范能力,在系统风险管控方面做到未雨绸缪。     

地方性商业银行信息安全管理建议

目前,我国地方性商业银行发展迅速,异地化经营带来发展活力的同时也增加了操作风险。我国地方性银行与国内大型商业银行相比,存在着科技风险治理体系薄弱、信息安全管理水平和科技风险防范水平低等不足,科技风险防范不当会威胁区域金融稳定,因此,加强信息安全管理已成为地方性商业银行面临的紧要任务。     

加强信息系统安全保障，有效防范信息科技风险

随着金融信息化的进一步深入,银行业已经成为信息科技成果应用最快、最广的行业之一,同时也是受信息科技风险影响最大的行业之一。一方面,在信息科技的推动下,银行的经营方式、服务手段和服务理念都发生了深刻转变,信息科技成为银行最重要的核心竞争力之一;另一方面,随着银行业务的快速发展,其对信息技术也呈现出高度依赖趋势并不断加深。信息系统的安全运行和稳健发展直接影响到银行稳健经营,关乎银行声誉、金融安全和社会稳定。在当前银行信息系统向总部高度集中的态势之下,加强信息系统安全保障,有效防范信息科技风险尤为重要。     

Almanac of anticipations: The age of affluence—of anticipation—of anxiety—of automation—of discontinuity—of longing—of overkill—of space exploration

With this survey of developments in the futures field since 1945, I.F. Clarke completes his present series for Futures. He makes two major points: that forecasting techniques have become essential tools in the management of change; and that nuclear weapons and ecological problems have added a moral dimension to the study of the future. In the next issue of Futures he will start a new series on the range of future-thinking in the USA, from the expectations of the first settlers to the Star Wars programme.

对基层人民银行科技工作的几点建议

银监会分设后,人民银行将专司货币政策、金融稳定、金融服务三大职能。作为人民银行的分支机构,基层人民银行的工作重心也将从金融监管调整到这三大职能上来。人民银行的科技部门,就要积极运用科技手段,为人民银行履行新的职能发挥“服务、支持、促进、发展”的作用。一、围绕三大职能搭建五大平台经过“六五打基础、七五作准备、八五大发展”几个阶段后,人民银行相继实现了核算电算化、清算网络化和办公信息化。特别是近一两年来,陆续开通了大额支付系统、信贷登记咨询系统、会计四集中系统、金融信息服务网站等系统,人民银行信息化水平又…     

The Usefulness of Measures of Consistency of Discretionary Components of Accruals in the Detection of Earnings Management

Abstract:  Prior research has shown the prevalence of measurement error in models used to estimate aggregate discretionary accruals. In these models, the incremental information content of the various components of accruals is ignored. Limited prior research and data gathered from firms under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) litigation indicate that managers use either one or more than one component of accruals simultaneously, in a consistent way to manipulate bottom-line earnings in a given direction. I propose two measures that capture the consistency between the discretionary components of accruals and test their significance in earnings management (EM) detection in firms that have artificially added accrual manipulation and firms that were targeted by the SEC for accrual manipulation. There is evidence that this information is incrementally useful in detecting EM. This finding paves the way for improvements in the discretionary accruals measure by including consistency information from the components of aggregate accruals.

Summary of Results of Survey of Seminar Attendees

Abstract

The Society of Actuaries undertook a three-phase research project on mortality improvement in the three NAFTA countries: Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. Phase 1 consisted of a literature review of papers on projecting mortality levels in the future and a study of the trend in mortality improvement during this century. Phase 2 consisted of a discussion of different facets of modeling mortality rates at a seminar attended by 79 experts (actuaries, demographers, economists, and medical researchers) representing different countries. The last session of the seminar consisted of the completion of a survey by the attendees to obtain input for Phase 3, which would analyze the impact of mortality improvement on the social security system of each country. This paper summarizes the results of the survey.

The survey results illustrate the difficulty in forecasting mortality levels, because the effects of many factors that could have significant impact on mortality rates are unknown. This suggests the need for dynamic forecasting, which allows for the possibility of random shocks. A majority of the survey respondents believe that stochastic forecasting models, despite their complexity, have significant potential to add value. Respondents also believe that both historical data and cause-specific mortality forecasts are useful as input and also in validating forecasts of the aggregate levels of mortality. The challenge is to develop more sophisticated forecasting models to produce results that are relatively easy to interpret and to communicate these results to the desired audiences, including the public and policymakers.

The survey results suggest that the aggregate effect of lifestyle changes, medical advances, diseases, catastrophe, and physical environmental changes is an increase in life span. However, there is much uncertainty about the future. Respondents expect that beyond the year 2020 the mean annual rate of reduction in mortality for males age 65 and over will average about 0.58% for Canada, 0.76% for Mexico, and 0.67% for the U.S. The results for the female age 65 and over population are 0.64%, 0.83%, and 0.70%, respectively. The age 65 and over population is expected to see larger percentage reductions in mortality than the 0–14 and 15–64 populations. The reductions in male and female mortality will be ultimately the same, and the mortality levels in the three countries will ultimately converge, although differences may persist for decades.     

银行软件项目外包管理分析

一、引言随着国民经济的不断发展,银行业务与外部企业的联系越来越密切。银行正逐步成为现代经济活动的中心,作为数据处理核心的银行业务应用也越来越大型化、越来越复杂化,因此许多银行也把软件项目逐步由原来的自主开发转变为与公司合作的方式,或直接外包开发的方式,银行本身的技术人员也逐步由开发转向项目管理。二、项目外包的分类银行项目的外包有以下几种情况:①部分子系统外包,有时由于银行的软件项目太大,单靠银行自身的开发力量基本无法在预定的时间内完成项目,只好把相对独立的部分外包;②直接购买软件公司的成熟产品,有些金融软…     

银行管理信息平台建设发展的思考

一、目前国内银行IT发展现状及面临的问题 银行数据集中工作的完成,标志着银行的业务由电子化建设阶段转入信息化建设阶段.一方面银行数据的集中提供了丰富全面的基础数据,面对日益庞大的数据源,如何将数字转化为对银行有用的信息,并从中发现知识,为银行的经营决策提供支持,是摆在银行IT人员面前的一个亟待解决的问题.另一方面用户对银行信息的需求日益增长,如果银行没有一套完整、实用的信息管理系统,将对业务发展非常不利.南京爱立信公司倒戈花旗银行事件曾经轰动一时,其中一个重要原因就是中国本地银行不能满足爱立信全球总部对南京爱立信公司的要求:每周财务上报和每天贷款限额管理.这一事件为中国商业银行的未来发展敲响了警钟,如果不加快管理信息系统的开发,迅速提升业务管理水平,类似的事件还会接连不断地发生,并最终导致国内商业银行在同国外商业银行的竞争中全面溃败.     

Separation of Unit of Account from Medium of Exchange

The separation of a unit of account (UoA) from a medium of exchange (MoE) in the commodity–money system is investigated by considering explicitly a seller's choice of UoA in terms of either an MoE or a unit of metal weight. If the likelihood of debasement of an MoE and its rate are high enough, the price is posted in terms of a unit of metal weight rather than an MoE. Interestingly, this MoE–UoA separated equilibrium yields the flexible nominal price, whereas an MoE–UoA integrated equilibrium yields the sticky one. This implies the nominal price rigidity in the fiat‐money system where MoE and UoA are integrated.     

Properties of time-series estimates of degree of leverage measures

Empirical studies suggest that time-series regression estimates of the degrees of operating and financial leverage have a tendency to produce measures less than one. According to ex ante theory, these measures should be greater than one for firms operating above the breakeven point. There have also been suggestions that the biases in these estimates may be attributable to an underlying increase in unit sales. This work presents evidence that these counter-intuitive measures are produced by changes in the firm's operating parameters (unit price, variable cost, fixed cost and interest payments). It further suggests that attempts to control for the underlying change in unit sales substantially increase the volatility of predicted estimates.
