Basel II proposes three approaches to estimate capital for operational risk:
- Basic Indicator: the entity's average "gross operating margin" for the last three years, which is defined as the sum of financial revenue and revenue from services less financial costs and service costs.
- Standard: the entity's activities are classified into eight lines of business and it calculates the average "gross operating margin" of each line of business for the last three years.
- Advanced Measurement: is based on:
- Data from internal loss events.
- Data from loss events outside the entity.
- Scenario analysis.
- Business environment and internal control factors.
