Devido à grande volatilidade e ao dinamismo do mercado financeiro, a gestão do risco operacional é fator preponderante para a sobrevivência de qualquer negócio. A lógica existente na disciplina de mercado pressupõe que este possui mecanismos coercitivos de maneira a induzir os gestores a administrar prudentemente os negócios. Ou seja, a sua eficiência depende da atuação ativa dos participantes do mercado no sentido de beneficiar ou recompensar as instituições mais bem geridas e penalizar as empresas mal administradas. Tradicionalmente, os bancos divulgam dados acerca das exposições ao risco de crédito e de mercado, a fim de auxiliar a compreensão do seu perfil de risco. Entretanto, também estão expostos a outros tipos de riscos, tais como o risco operacional, o qual pode prejudicar significativamente o desempenho futuro, podendo levá-los até a falência. Logo, verifica-se a importância da divulgação dessas informações para a disciplina de mercado. Buscando proteger o sistema financeiro dos resultados negativos advindos dos riscos inerentes às suas atividades, o Comitê da Basiléia publicou o Novo Acordo de Capital, previsto para entrar em vigor no final de 2006, sendo que nesta data as instituições financeiras deverão obedecer a certos padrões mínimos no gerenciamento de seus riscos, entre eles o operacional. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar a avaliação e gerenciamento do risco operacional em uma instituição financeira nacional de grande porte, detectando instrumento de medida e análise e o estágio de desenvolvimento quanto ao gerenciamento do risco operacional. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia de Estudo de Caso e as evidências foram obtidas por documentação, registros em arquivos, entrevistas e observação direta. Os resultados sugerem que o banco pesquisado encontra-se em estágio intermediário na administração dos riscos operacionais, contudo, está desenvolvendo técnicas e processos tanto para se adequar às exigências dos órgãos supervisores, quanto para a melhoria de seus resultados. / Due to the great volatility and to the dynamism of the finance market, the management of the operational risk is a preponderant factor for the survival of any business. The logic that is in the market discipline, implies that it has coercive mechanisms that induces the managers to manage carefully theirs business. In other words, the efficiency depends on the active performance of the participants of the market, on the sense of benefiting or to reward the institutions that are good managed and to penalize the bad managed one. Traditionally, the banks give data concerning the exposure to the credit market risks, in order to assist the comprehension of their risk profile. However, they are also exposed to other kinds of risks, such as the operational risk, which can injure significantly the future performance and could even conduct them to the bankruptcy. Soon, they can verify the importance of the divulgation of these information for the market discipline. Seeking to protect the financial system from negative results of the inherent risks to its activities, Basel Committee published the New Capital Accord, foreseen to go into effect at the end of 2006, and in this date the financial institutions should obey some minimum standards in the management of their risks, among them the operational. The goal of this dissertation is to analyze the evaluation and management of the operational risk in large financial institution, detecting measure and analysis instrument and the stage of development regarding the management of the operational risk. For that, the methodology of Study of Case was used and the evidences were obtained by documentation, records in files, interviews and direct observation. The results suggest that the searched bank is on an intermediary stage in the administration of the operational risks, however, it is developing techniques and processes to adapt to the supervisors\' demanding and to the improvement of its results.

The thesis is focused on issues of effective cost control. It, in detail, discusses the structure and dividing of costs and introduces the main instrument of cost control - calculations. The first part of the thesis covers theoretical findings concerning the given issue. The second part is comprised of cost control analysis in a particular manufacturing company. In conclusion, the present method of cost calculation in use is evaluated and the new method is proposed.

The main aim of this thesis is to acquaint the reader with the possibilities of economic management of enterprise information technology field by using tools provided by financial controlling and to propose an appropriate metrics for performance measurement of this area. The thesis is logically divided into three comprehensive parts. Firstly, the reader is acquainted with the historical evolution and general principles of controlling management approach, which is then applied to IT field. Along with them are in this section divided and described details of IT costs and IT effects, which are specific for field of enterprise information technology. The second part is dedicated to the application of controlling tools from the perspective of each phases of the IT component life cycle. The methods mentioned in this section include: calculating of Return on Investment, Net Present Value calculation, Life-cycle costing, budgeting or Activity Based Costing, which represents the modern calculation approach. The last part is intended to perform the measuring of enterprise information technology, along with the proposal of metrics and dimensions that might be used with applying business intelligence tools, as appropriate support for controlling the management approach.
