					<description><![CDATA[Michael Barr, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s Vice Chair for Supervision, published his review of Silicon Valley Bank&#8217;s failure on April 28, 2023. The report found SVB breached its own long-term interest-rate risk limits in 2022, then changed the limits instead of the balance sheet, while the chief risk officer seat sat empty for eight months.

					<description><![CDATA[In March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank collapsed inside 48 hours. The post-mortem was brutal: the bank had a documented risk appetite statement, a formal risk tolerance policy, and a board-approved risk capacity figure. All three existed. None of them talked to each other. Interest-rate risk exposure had quietly outgrown appetite, drifted through tolerance, and was ... <a title="Risk Appetite vs Risk Tolerance vs Risk Capacity: Definitions and Board Reporting" class="read-more" href="https://riskpublishing.com/risk-appetite-vs-risk-tolerance-vs-risk-capacity/" aria-label="Read more about Risk Appetite vs Risk Tolerance vs Risk Capacity: Definitions and Board Reporting">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in March 2023, post-mortem analyses revealed a finding that stunned even seasoned risk professionals: the bank had no formally documented risk appetite statement that connected interest rate exposure limits to its board-approved strategy.

					<description><![CDATA[When Wells Fargo&#8217;s cross-selling scandal erupted in 2016, exposing millions of fraudulent customer accounts created over five years, investigators traced the failure to a risk management policy that existed on paper but was never enforced at the frontline. The policy defined risk appetite. It assigned accountability. It required escalation.
