What's inside

  • Start with the banking service

    Deposits, payments and time-sensitive lending — what happens when a service customers rely on becomes unavailable, unreliable or unsafe to use.

  • Nine questions to ask now

    Services, exposure, controls, oversight, dependencies, local options, authority, recovery and action — each with the evidence to request.

  • Demonstrate effective oversight

    Prompts for showing board capability, visible challenge and follow-up, with Basel Committee governance and operational resilience reference points.

  • A five-minute confidence check

    Eight statements your board either can or cannot yet evidence — complete it together, or compare answers to see where understanding differs.
