| 摘要: | 近年來由於國際間金融環境瞬息萬變，金融自由化與全球化整合的趨勢正方興未艾。隨著資訊科技技術日新月異，金融產品多樣化，促使金融業頓時面臨前所未有的激烈競爭。台灣自1989年以來，政府為因應金融自由化潮流，採行一系列的金融改革措施，陸續解除各項金融管制，諸如「價格自由化」，造成存放款利率差距降低，金融機構利率、匯率等價格風險提高。「市場自由化」，開放民營銀行的設立，金融機構分支機構大幅增加，競爭程度提高。「業務自由化」彈性放寬銀行之業務範圍，打破以往「市場區隔」之規劃。益以於 2000 年公佈「金融機構合併法」及 2001 年公佈「金融控股公司法」，金融機構總分支機構因此如雨後春筍般紛紛設立，業務量成長迅速，業務内容日趨複雜，金融業除了面臨激烈的競爭及獲利率降低外，相對地亦造成金融機構的經營風險隨之增加及突顯出其內部控制與風險管理之重要性。
近觀國內外的重大金融弊端，如1995年國際票券弊案，交易員楊瑞仁盜開商業本票賣給台銀，另方面利用人頭戶進行附買回，待台銀匯入買票款項時，順利的轉入人頭戶帳上；國票損失台幣一佰多億元。又如英國頗具歷史盛名之霸菱銀行（Barings Bank），於1995年2月26日一夕之間倒閉，其原因是一位名為尼克•李森（Nick Leeson）的交易員在投資衍生性金融商品的超額交易時，投機失敗，導致損失14億美元。霸菱銀行在倒閉後，以1英鎊的象徵價格賣給荷蘭的ING集團。由此可見金融業內部控管不當所導致的嚴重損失。
巴塞爾委員會有鑑於內部控制與風險管理之重要性， 於1999年6月發布一個更具風險敏感度的「新資本協定」(The New Basel Capital Accord,以下簡稱Basel II)，用以取代1988年所公布之銀行資本適足協定。並於2001年1月發布第二版咨詢文件、2003年4月發布第三版咨詢文件，多次尋求業界意見後，於2004年6月發布「新巴塞爾資本協定」定案版本，預計自2006年底起實施。巴塞爾銀行監理委員會（Basel Committee on Banking Supervision）將「作業風險」定義為「肇因於不適當或失敗的內部作業流程、人員與系統、或由外部事件而造成損失之風險」。 該定義包括法律風險，但排除策略及聲譽風險。
Basel II 首度將「營運風險」又稱「作業風險」(Operational Risk) 納入整體資本適足率 (Capital adequacy) 的計算中。並藉由「最低資本需求」(Minimum Capital Requirement)、 「監理審查」(Supervisory Review Process) 及「市場制約」(Market Discipline) 等三大支柱，期強化金融機構風險管理制度。「監理審查」即主管機關依據法律，發布各項業務法規，並藉由監督、檢查、處分等作業，督促金融機構健全經營。 所謂「市場制約」的前提為金融機構必須將其財務業務資訊公開揭露。 新協定要求金融機構必須建置一套可以辨識、衡量、監視和控管的風險管理系統，不僅衝擊著國內金融業者本身的資訊技術能力，更攸關甫經歷金融金融改革後的國內金融業者，所面臨的國際市場的競爭力。
因此，本研究除了探討「新版巴塞爾資本協定」對「營運風險」的定義、「資
本適足率」的計算方法、「監理審查」及「市場制約」三大支柱規範外、主要針
對 ″Ｓ″ 外商銀行對於因應「新版巴塞爾資本協定」所採行的策略研究。由於 ″
Ｓ″ 外商銀行之總行實施新巴塞爾資本協定已臻成熟階段， 且在台灣分行風險

With the integration of global financial market and relative reformation of financial policies adopted in respective countries aiming to achieve the degree of globalization and liberation, financial industries face not only more and more challenging of market competitiveness but also increasing of managing risks.
Having observed several well-known financial events occurred due to the failure of internal processes, people and system such as Barlings Bank bankruptcy event in 1995. Another famous financial crimes like dealer ‘Yang Ruei-Ren’ of International Bills Financial Corporation (hereafter IBFC) which resulting in IBFC lost more than NTD100 billion in 1995. These failures of corporate governance were identified due to a lack of proper internal control.
Further, in view of Taiwan’s recent banking environment since 1990, government proactively promoted financial liberation and globalization by relieving respective financial restraints consecutively and by conducting a series of financial reforming measures. In relation to financial market liberation, the numbers of financial institutions and branches in Taiwan increased substantially due to government loosened the limitation of private banks and branches establishment since 1990. Taiwan’s financial market has since moved forward to be a monopolistic competitive market from being a oligopsonistic market over past decades. Additionally, due to the booming of similar nature of competitors in a short time while the banking products diversification were not developed simultaneously, which leads to aggravating competition among banking industries and increasing of risk incidents accordingly.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (hereafter BCBS) is a committee of banking supervisory authorities that was established by the central bank governors of the Group of Ten countries in 1975. It consists of senior representatives of bank supervisory authorities and central banks from Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Basel Committee on Banking Supervision considered the criticality of risk management and introduced “The New Basel Capital Accord” (hereafter the Basel II) in January of 2001 which aimed to strengthen risk management system among financial market under three pillars of “Minimum Capital Requirements”, “Supervisory Review Process” and “Market Discipline” in view of most financial institutions were not well structured to deal with Operational Risk. The Basel II will require banks to establish a comprehensive Risk Management System which is capable to identify, measure, monitoring and control internal operational risks which is not only impact on domestic financial institutions technical system capability but also on the upcoming competitiveness of global financial market.
Therefore, this paper will focus on the research of “Operational Risk” under the New Basel II, the study of three pillars: the calculation methodology of “Minimum Capital Requirement”, “Supervisory Review Process” and “Market Discipline” and how the “S” bank implemented the requirements of the New Basel II and the strategies taken locally. It is observed that the Group of “ S ” bank has followed the Basel II to a mature state and the top-down approach has rolled out to its subsidiaries in Taiwan not only on risk management know-how training, system & MIS support but also comprehensive risk management system establishment as well. Additionally, the “S” bank announced the acquisition of “H” bank locally since October 2006, this paper will further conduct gap analysis between the “S” and “H” bank in relation to the Operational Risk Management. The recommendation will be made to “ S ” bank’s Group for reference in future acquisition investment in other countries or other foreign banks future acquisition of local banks in Taiwan. |
