Jakarta – PT. Solmit Bangun Indonesia has once again demonstrated its commitment to promoting risk management and digital transformation in the financial sector, particularly in Islamic banking. Through a training program titled “Strategies to Enhance the Quality of Operational Risk Self-Assessment (ORSA) Implementation to Strengthen GRC and Digital Resilience in Banking,” Solmit presents a systematic approach to address the industry's need for adaptive, accountable, and future-oriented risk management.

The event took place over two days, May 20–21, 2025, at the Grand Syahid Hotel in Jakarta. The training was attended by participants from Bank Aceh Syariah and Bank Riau Kepri Syariah, who actively participated in the series of materials and discussions facilitated directly by Dr. Abdurrahman, MT, President Director of PT. Solmit Bangun Indonesia.

Responding to the Strategic Needs of the Banking World

Amidst the acceleration of digitalization, banking institutions are faced with increasingly complex challenges, not only in terms of technology, but also regulation, security, and risk management. ORSA, as part of operational risk management, plays an important role in creating a robust system that is capable of adapting to change.

“Digital transformation will only yield sustainable benefits if accompanied by the strengthening of a holistic risk management system. ORSA is its foundation,” said Dr. Abdurrahman in his opening remarks at the training session.

This training was designed not only to introduce the conceptual framework but also to present actual case studies, implementation techniques, and a roadmap for measurable improvements in ORSA quality. This aligns with the needs of financial institutions to continue innovating without compromising governance and risk control aspects.

Training Material: From Theory to Practical Action

During the two-day training, participants will receive comprehensive material covering:

• The concept and urgency of ORSA within the GRC (Governance, Risk Management, Compliance) framework.
• Strategies for developing a risk catalog for mapping unit risks.
• Implementation of Risk Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) and analysis of the Loss Event Database (LED).
• Utilization of Key Risk Indicators (KRI) for early detection of critical risks.
• Integration of ORSA in digital transformation and efforts to build resilience against cyber risks.

With an approach that combines classical methods, group discussions, and exploration of real-world issues in the field, this training successfully created an active, collaborative, and contextual learning environment.

“We don't just convey theory, but invite participants to explore the real challenges they face in their respective institutions,” explained Dr. Abdurrahman, who also holds doctorates from ITB and UIN Sunan Gunung Djati and more than 20 international certifications in GRC, PMO, and digital transformation.

Active Participation and High Enthusiasm

This training was not only a forum for knowledge transfer, but also a forum for the exchange of experiences between banks. Participants actively discussed and shared the challenges of ORSA implementation, and even proposed risk mapping strategies in accordance with the context of their respective work units.

Based on the evaluation conducted at the end of the session, the majority of participants stated that they gained new insights that were highly applicable and relevant to their daily work. Some even mentioned that the training opened new perspectives on how they view risk, not merely as a compliance obligation but as a key strategy in supporting sustainable innovation.

Concrete Steps: Follow-up Action Plan (RKTL)

One of the things that sets this training apart is the development of a Follow-up Action Plan (RKTL), which ensures that the knowledge gained does not stop at the training room.

Here are some of the action items included in the RKTL:

1. Development of an Integrated Risk Catalogue; Participating banks will create a structured list of risks to facilitate risk mapping and reporting across all departments.
2. Revision of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) Based on Digitalization Trends; Regular adjustments to KRI parameters to ensure alignment with current conditions, including the dynamics of digital services and potential cyber threats.
3. Stress Tests and Information Technology Audits; Conducting system disruption simulations and IT audits to measure the resilience of digital infrastructure, while anticipating extreme risk scenarios.
4. Reformulation of ORSA Policies and GRC Integration; Reviewing internal ORSA policies to align them with the latest organizational structure and regulations, and fully integrating them into the bank's GRC framework.

With this RKTL, the bank is expected to not only improve risk documentation but also mature the risk culture across all organizational lines.
