Basel Committee publishes Principles for the Sound Management of Operational Risk

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has published Principles for the Sound Management of Operational Risk: see here (pdf). There are eleven principles in total and several of these are explicitly concerned with the role of the board of directors.  For example, Principle 1 makes clear that it is the responsibility of the board to ensure that a strong operational risk management culture exists throughout the organisation.
