A main concern of risk management in financial institutions is measurement of operational risk and its value at risk as a requirement of Basel II accord. Besides risk quantification, identifying causal mechanism leading to operational loss is necessary to plan risk mitigation activities. Bayesian belief networks (BBN) is a causal modelling method able to achieve both goals simultaneously. Eliciting BBN causal model and its parameters from expert knowledge is an alternative to data driven models in case of data scarcity. However, there is still a problem with parameter extraction for complex models with a number of multi parent and multi state nodes. In this paper, we proposed a method combining fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM) and BBN in order to improve BBN capability in modelling operational risks. In the first phase, a causal model is constructed by applying FCM and then a new migration method is proposed to translate FCM parameters to BBN ones. A case study of an Iranian private bank is then given to examine and validate the proposed method. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
