Synopsis

Today's trust officer has to contend with today's new challenges. We have yet to see an investment or business that actually yields a positive return without risk. Trust Risk Management was designed to provide trust managers, trust compliance officers, trust auditors and trust committees with a tool to assess and manage risks in the fiduciary services areas.
The format of this handbook is by fiduciary business product lines. At the end of each chapter there is a fiduciary compliance risk management checklist which will assist in the management of compliance risk. Trust Risk Management attempts to cover major risk elements that could lead to losses. Some of these include errors in decision making, lost revenues, excessive expenses, destruction of assets, recordkeeping errors, fraud, competitive disadvantage, business interruption, and violations of laws and regulations.
Chapters one through five discuss the residual risks associated with the management decision to accept new appointments and in the administration of the account along the following product lines: personal trust administration, employee benefit trust administration, corporate bond trust and agency services, investment portfolio management and collective investment funds, and institutional custody services and securities lending.
Chapter six includes operational and management risk issues, addressed from a management perspective, for the fiduciary services area. Several appendices also serve as useful reference material to assist in managing risks.
Trust Risk Management will provide you, your trust colleagues and your institution with a valuable, hands-on approach to the management of risk in your fiduciary business services.
