Financial services organisations often find it challenging to maintain compliance with APRA's CPS 230 standard due to the complexity and breadth of operational risk management requirements. The extensive requirements for managing operational risk can be difficult to integrate into existing processes and frameworks. Achieving and maintaining compliance requires a robust and proactive approach to operational risk management.

Cevo's Operational Risk Assessment is designed to help APRA-regulated entities in Australia assess their compliance with the APRA prudential standard on operational risk management. Our assessment identifies gaps between your current operational risk management practices and CPS 230 requirements, providing you with a detailed report and prioritised recommendations to address these gaps and strengthen your operational risk management posture.

By proactively assessing your alignment with CPS 230, you can take the necessary steps to protect your organisation from operational disruptions, maintain customer trust, and demonstrate to APRA that you are a resilient financial institution.
