• Evaluate program effectiveness through quality assurance, scoring calibration, data quality reviews, coverage analysis, maturity assessments, and independent validation.
• Drive RCSA modernization by simplifying assessments, improving process-level insight, automating workflow and evidence capture, strengthening data lineage, and enabling trigger-based reassessments where appropriate.
• Integrate RCSA results with risk appetite, issues, operational risk events, control testing, key risk indicators, scenario analysis, business change, third-party risk, technology risk, and operational resilience reporting.
• Challenge residual risk conclusions, escalation decisions, and remediation plans using testing results, issue history, event data, metrics, and other documented evidence.
