Mapping processes and resources for Investment & Wealth Management is a foundational step in strengthening operational resilience. For AmBank, these services support clients’ financial growth, protection, and legacy planning, and any disruption can directly affect customer trust, regulatory compliance, and revenue stability.

A structured mapping of sub-CBS components to processes, people, technology, and dependencies enables clear visibility of how services are delivered end-to-end.

This chapter translates regulatory expectations on operational resilience into a practical mapping for CBS-5. By systematically identifying supporting resources and linkages, AmBank can better perform scenario testing, identify single points of failure, and prioritise resilience investments.

Banner [Summing] [OR] [E3] Map Processes and Resources

A comprehensive mapping of processes and resources provides AmBank with a clear, end-to-end view of how Investment & Wealth Management services are delivered and sustained. This visibility is essential for identifying concentration risks, interdependencies, and potential single points of failure across people, processes, technology, and third parties. It also enables more meaningful scenario testing, where disruption scenarios can be assessed against real operational linkages rather than theoretical assumptions.

By maintaining and regularly updating this mapping, AmBank can strengthen its ability to remain within impact tolerances during disruptions, prioritise resilience investments, and enhance cross-functional coordination. Ultimately, robust process and resource mapping support regulatory compliance while reinforcing client confidence that their wealth services remain dependable under a wide range of stress conditions.
