In which the JC has made up some swap talk, inexpertly cribbing from actual terms used in actual calculus, about which the JC knows 0.
In risk management, the first-order derivative of an event “ƒ” is the effect that event would have, were it to actually happen in the practical world. So, for example,
The second-order derivative, of function ƒ is a derivative of the first-order derivative of that function. So, for example, the warning light on a control panel, the RAG status indicator on a management PowerPoint, or the numerical quantity of an item (completed ISDA negotiations); reviewed legal netting opinions) whose quality one doesn’t have the subject matter expertise to assess.
Operations people deal with actual risks; legal eagles and fellow controller subject matter experts tend to deal with first-order derivatives of those actual risks — what the consequences are if the risk comes about — and middle management and internal audit deal with second-order derivatives of risk: what the RAG status on the opco dashboard should look like if the risk comes about, and what should happen if that template is not reviewed within the six-month time limit arbitrarily prescribed by some policy somewhere.
