The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic issued Communication “A” 8315 to update and replace pages in the ordered text governing risk management guidelines for financial entities, specifically incorporating changes from Communications A 8249 and A 8204. The regulation mandates that financial institutions implement a proportional, integral operational risk management framework encompassing defined loss event categories, a three-line defense model, and clear responsibilities for the Board, Senior Management, and dedicated risk units. It further requires systematic identification, assessment, and monitoring of operational risks through standardized tools, periodic reporting, and stress testing to ensure capital sufficiency, risk appetite alignment, and operational resilience.
