2021 RMA Internal Audit - Operational Resiliency Program On Demand

A Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”) enables a Firm and its employees to survive a disaster and to re-establish normal business operations within the timeframes set out by the business heads. In order to sustain business, we must assure that critical operations can resume normal processing within these reasonable timeframes. A disaster could result in short-term or long-term delays in production processing. Both types of delays could result in different recovery methods (i.e., normal backup / recovery vs. invoking “hot-site” recovery). 

The objectives of this webinar are to learn and understand the components and key risks of a Business Continuity Program including:

• The development, implementation, testing and maintenance of business continuity and emergency response plans enable the business to protect its assets and meet its business recovery objectives. 
• Prevention and mitigation activities reduce the likelihood and impact of a disruption. 
• Management provides an employee awareness program. 
• The Information Technology (“IT”) contingency plans (i.e., mainframe and distributed) support the business recovery objectives. 
• Reconstruction of physical locations needed to continue operations if a primary location is destroyed or uninhabitable for a long period of time.
