    Basel II and Operational Risk - A Primer
    The operational risk requirements of Basel II (International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards) place a heavy emphasis on the identification, assessment, monitoring and control of operational risk. The ultimate requirement for reserving capital against operational losses are closely linked to the actions that a bank needs to take to manage these risks. Keeping a banks capital allocation against Operational Risks is a hands-on business, based on controlling and mitigating risk.Credit risk is well catered for in exceptional detail. Credit risks are clearly understood by all players, for credit is the reason why banks exist. In the current mad scramble to meet the Basel II requirements, credit risks have been getting the lion’s share of attention while far less attention has been given to the operational risk issues. Basel II is more than just reserving capital against credit and operational risk. Now for the first time, banks have to take into account the operational risk aspects as well.To start with, Basel II provides a range of options for determining the capital requirements of credit and operational risks. This allows banks and bank supervisors the opportunity to select the most appropriate option for their operations and their financial market infrastructure. Additionally, allowance is made for a limited degree of national discretion in the way in which each of these options may

      Six Best Ways To Make Money Online
      On the internet, there are many ways to make money online. Below are the six best ways that I recommend to explode your online income.1. Make money from web sites that don't have an affiliate program by doing a joint venture. Set up the affiliate program through a third party for them. By doing that for them you could require that you become their only affiliate. You would instantly become a super affiliate because you would be the only one with no competition.2. Offer an affiliate program with your product. This increases the perceived value because people can also make money with your product. For example, you could say, "Make ($) per sale selling this product!" Another example, "Make (cents) per visitor you send to our web site!"3. Make money selling advertising space in your e-book. You could charge for full page color ads, classified ads or banners ads. You could also trade advertising space in your e-book for other forms of advertising. For example, you could say, "Promote Your Business In Our Free E-book For Only ($). It's been downloaded over 5000 times!"4. Make money by selling the reprint rights to those who would like to sell the e-book. You could also make even more money by selling the master reprint rights. This would allow other people to sell the reprint rights. You could also include your ads in the e-books. Every time someone reads it or sells one, you'll get exposure.Here's a little role-play for you.

      You've had a disagreement with a relative, let's say it's a cousin. You decide to speak to your cousin to try and clear the air. Do you:

      a) Arrange to meet your cousin in a quiet location and discuss the matter privately.

      b) Talk to your cousin over the phone talking as loudly as possible to ensure that anyone overhearing can tell how upset you are.

      c) Arrange a big family gathering and then have a noisy arguement with your cousin, allowing everyone to take sides and join in.

      It doesn't take a family psychologist to work out that option 'a' is the least likely to amplify the problem and the most likely to result in a peaceful outcome.

      It's said you should never wash your dirty laundry in public. Well internet marketing is no different. It might not be a family, but marketing in isolation is impossible for most and whether you like it or not at some point you will need the help or collaboration of others in the industry.

      To be effective at this, you need to learn how to get along with your fellow workers.

      Disagreements are bound to occur and on occasion someone may do something (intentionally or unintentionally) that upsets you. I'm not talking about simple differences of opinion, normal in a forum, I'm talking about a perceived personal attack or slight. How you deal with that scenario will speak volumes about the kind of business person you are.

      At NO point does arguing with someone publicly (ie - in a forum) help the situation. The vast majority of the time it simply makes both parties look unreasonable and juvenile.

      Regardless of who is in the right or the wrong, public squabbling is no good for anyone.

      So next time, someone upsets you or you upset them, take the high road.

      Send a friendly email, make a polite phone call, or type an apologetic private message.

      Try and resolve the situation in private and, if you can't find a middle ground, agree to disagree and go your seperate ways. And hey, you might just find the whole thing was a misunderstanding and you finish up with a good friend at the end of it.

      I come into contact with a lot of very intelligent, very affable people that spoil their good reputation by arguing in public or showing a lack of respect for others. Sometimes all that's needed is a simple apology.

      Ok, I'm off my soapbox now. There are a lot of really great people in this industry and I'm grateful to know all of you.

        Is PayPal Really Your Friend?
        Those of you who know me most likely know I've been a big fan of PayPal for a long time. I've been using them and recommending them for six years now and, for the most part, they've been a wonderful alternative to a costly merchant account.Today, I have a different story to tell. One which you will certainly want to hear if you use PayPal and plan to continue using them as your business grows.A couple of months ago, I met a Chinese supplier of designer clothing. He seemed very nice and was looking for people to help him sell his wares on E-Bay. He had a web site to display his stock and he guaranteed $600 per month or more for sales agents. "Ok," I said, "I'll give it a try." I had a friend who was working with him already and making more like $600 per week for what amounted to a couple hours work per day.I started listing sales. Being the gung ho kind of person I am, I listed many sales. When I sent in my orders, I was shocked to hear, "I don't have these items in stock." OMG! His web site said they were in stock! What to do?! I looked for other suppliers who might have what I needed. It took a little time, but I found some. I quickly sent all the orders and cash I had collected in the hope that these new suppliers would be able to get the merchandise to my customers within the time frame I had promised.Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of a long list of trials and tribulations asso

        Invoice Discounting - A Tool To Finance Your Business
        Are your clients taking up to 60 days to pay their invoices? This is a very common situation and a significant cause of stress to many business owners. Unfortunately, having a profitable business does not necessarily mean that you have a reliable cash flow. Quite the opposite, many times a business may have great profits and a very unreliable cash flow.How can this be? Simple. Your clients are paying you in 60 days, but you need to pay employees every week, rent and suppliers. Although the numbers may work in the long term, in the short term you are left with very little cash. This is unless you have a lot of money in the bank to cover the deficits.But, what do you do if you are new, growing or just don’t have a lot of funds in the bank? Get a business loan? Unlikely. Business loans are hard to get. A better option would be to use invoice discounting. Invoice discounting is a form of financing that is not offered by a bank – it’s offered by a factoring company.Invoice discounting, as it name implies, involves selling your invoices for immediate cash, at a small discount. Its value proposition is very simple. Are you willing discount between 1.5% to 6% from your invoices to get paid now? Consider that many business owners offer a 2% discount to businesses that pay within 10 days. So, invoice discounting offers a similar proposition.Of course, invoice discounting (or invoice factoring as it is
