Automated global risk management
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for managing risk related to a financial transaction, the method comprising:
- gathering into a computer storage legal and reputational risk information related to a proposed financial transaction, the legal and reputational risk information includingduty of disclosure risk information, andfinancial infraction prevention information;
receiving into the computer storage transaction information relating to details of the proposed financial transaction;
structuring with a processor the received transaction information according to risk quotient criteria associated with the gathered legal and reputational risk information;
assigning a numerical value representative of risk to the structured transaction information;
assigning the structured transaction information to an associated risk category having a category weight;
calculating a risk quotient by multiplying a weighted numerical value by the category weight, wherein the weighted numerical value is derived from the assigned numerical value of the structured transaction information;
determining a suitability of the proposed financial transaction according to the received transaction information and the calculated risk quotient;
generating a suggested action in accordance with the risk quotient;
generating a structured history derived from the received transaction information; and
creating a report from the generated structured history, the calculated risk quotient, the determined suitability, and the generated suggested action.

Abstract
A computerized risk management method and system for facilitating analysis and quantification of risk associated with a financial transaction. An automated global risk management system maintains a database relating risk variables including world events government advisories, and other information sources with potential risk for a financial institution. The system generates a risk quotient or other rating based upon a weighted algorithm applied to the criteria, wherein the risk quotient is indicative of risk associated with a financial transaction or account. The quotient can be monitored on a periodic basis, during the course of a transaction, or on demand. Actions commensurate with a risk quotient can be presented to a financial institution to help the institution properly manage risk associated with a particular entity or transaction. A log or other stored history can be created such that utilization of the system can mitigate adverse effects relating to a problematic account.

20. A computerized system for managing risk associated with a financial transaction, the system comprising:
a computer server accessible with a network access device via a communications network and executable software stored on the server and executable on demand, the software operative with the server to cause the system to; gather legal and reputational risk information related to a proposed financial transaction, the legal and reputational risk information including duty of disclosure risk information, and financial infraction prevention information; receive transaction information relating to details of the proposed financial transaction; structure the received transaction information according to risk quotient criteria associated with the gathered legal and reputational risk information; assign a numerical value representative of risk to each structured transaction information; assign the structured information to an associated risk category, wherein the risk category is associated with a category weight; calculate a risk quotient by multiplying a weighted numerical value by the category weight, wherein the weighted numerical value is derived from the assigned numerical value of the structured transaction information; determine a suitability of the proposed financial transaction according to the received transaction information and the calculated risk quotient; generate a suggested action in accordance with the risk quotient; generate a structured history derived from the received transaction information; and create with the processor a report from the generated structured history, the calculated risk quotient, the determined suitability, and the generated suggested action. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
