This chapter outlines the “Map Processes and Resources” for the critical business service (CBS-6) of Treasury and Capital Markets Operations at Metrobank.
In accordance with established operational resilience regulations and supervisory expectations (including mapping practices referenced in the OR framework), this mapping exercise identifies the critical sub-processes, operational resources, and internal and external dependencies required to deliver Treasury and Capital Markets services.
The purpose is to establish a comprehensive view of dependencies that support core market-facing and treasury support functions, thereby enabling Metrobank to assess potential single points of failure, critical resource concentration, and resilience vulnerabilities across front, middle, and back-office workflows.
The mapping exercise encompasses human capital, technology applications, infrastructure, third-party vendors, and upstream and downstream process linkages.
This systematic approach lays the foundation for effective scenario testing, impact tolerance assessments, and eventual remediation of operational resilience gaps.
