This chapter explores the identification of Severe but Plausible Scenarios (SPS) for CBS 2 Clearing & Settlement Services at Kenanga Investment Bank.
The objective is to assess how extreme yet credible disruptions could impact the bank’s clearing and settlement operations, ensuring the resilience of critical business services in alignment with regulatory expectations and best practices.
By examining SPS, the organisation can proactively strengthen its operational controls, safeguard client interests, and maintain financial stability even under severe stress conditions.
Purpose of the Chapter
The purpose of this chapter is to pre-emptively guide readers through potential high-impact scenarios that could disrupt CBS 2 operations. It provides a framework to understand the rationale behind each scenario, the expected impacts, and the proactive risk management measures that can mitigate these risks.
This ensures that Kenanga Investment Bank maintains operational resilience and can continue delivering critical services within its defined impact tolerances.
