Abstract
In the case of the small banks, operational risk management generally takes on a secondary role compared to other risks, more closely associated with typical banking activity (in primis credit risk). This can be mainly due to the low degree of diversification of the activities carried out by smaller banks, which decreases the operational risk exposure and consequently the need to employ human, financial and technological resources in sophisticated systems of operational risk management. In this chapter we present the results of a survey on a sample of Italian cooperative banks . The survey explores different research areas: organizational aspects, measurement methods, Second Pillar , insurance coverage , and trade associations/outsourcing .
