Abstract

Because financial industry is closely related to the daily lives of people, internal fraud such as embezzlement by the employees can cause serious damage to the national economy, including credit crunch and contagious bankruptcy, as once demonstrated in the Savings Bank Scandal in 2011. Therefore, the importance of financial industry security is being emphasized and developed into converged security that combines physical, human and cyber security. In this study, to prevent fraud caused by internal employees in Korean financial sector, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with a total of 16 participants including bankers, officials of financial regulators, and security experts, who were in charge of risk management in the industry. The collected data were analyzed at three stratification levels such as individual, organization, and socio-cultural factor. Based on this analysis, policy recommendations were suggested for the development of financial industry security and reducing internal fraud in banking institutions.

금융산업은 일상 국민 생활경제와 매우 밀접한 관련이 있다. 따라서 저축은행 사태와 같이 금융기관 임직원들에 의한 횡령, 배임 등 부정행위(fraud)가 발생할 경우, 신용경색과 연쇄파산 등 민생경제에 심대한 악영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 이에 외국에서는 금융산업 보안의 중요성이 특히 강조되고 있고, 물적, 인적, 사이버를 통합하는 융합보안(converged security)으로 발전하고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라 은행권에서 내부 임직원들에 의해 발생하는 부정행위를 방지하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여, 리스크 관리(risk management) 업무를 담당하고 있는 은행권 임직원, 금융 정책수립 및 규제기관 담당자, 보안전문가 등 총 16 명에 대하여 반구조화된 심층 인터뷰(in-depth semi-structured interview)를 실시하였다. 수집된 데이터를 개인, 조직, 사회 문화적 레벨 등, 세 가지 계층화 수준에서 분석하였고, 이를 바탕으로 금융산업보안(financial industry security)의 발전과 금융권 내부부정 행위 방지를 위한 정책적 권고사항들을 도출하였다.
