  10. Intersection of Strategy and Risk Enterprise Risk Management resources and actions must be integrated into Strategic Planning process Tool for collaborative decision-making embedded into management routines such as strategic planning Engaging in discussion and dialogue with designated risk owners (senior mgnt) to keep abreast of emerging risks

  11. Assessing Risk Exposures Ensure consistency in the way risk is being assessed across the enterprise Is your organization conducting regular top down and middle-up assessments and alignment of them to create a comprehensive risk profile of the enterprise? Is Management focusing on those lower level operational risk that could frustrate accomplishment of the Board’s objectives for the company ? Are risks being aggregated and the inter-relationships identified to have a clear understanding of the velocity at which risks may occur. Is guidance provided to the business units and functional groups to ensure that they have a consistent approach that is focused on business objectives?

  12. Articulate Risk Appetite Develop a formal Risk Appetite Statement How do you know whether you have taken too much or not enough risk Calculate the monetary value at which a loss or risk event would jeopardize its credit rating Aggregate risk exposure monitored in monetary terms Risk appetite embedded into the business units and functional areas Risk Appetite Corporate Stress-test the resilience of their balance sheets by calculating the monetary value at which solvency would be jeopardized.

Three Lines of Defense Enhance Risk Management via Business Units, Risk & Compliance and Internal Audit functions 3 3 Are Risk Management capabilities keeping pace with the changing needs of the enterprise and expectations of stakeholders? Is consistent risk training being conducted across your three lines of defense? Are processes and technologies in place to monitor and measure risk in a way that get the three lines of defense closer in alignment? Is risk information between lines of defense visible, freely shared and communicated to support dependencies? Do your Board, shareholders and regulators understand your risk program? Is Risk Management embedded in business processes in a way that enhances transparency? 2 2 Business Unit Risk & Compliance Internal Audit

Barriers to Convergence Resources must be adequate to facilitate convergence or integration of risk and control functions Lack of executive support Lagging governance structures Stagnant risk and control oversight functions Insufficient numbers of people Lack of skills and human talent Absence of technology enablers Risk and control silos Obstructed flow of risk information Changing goals and less clarity of risk data Duplication and redundancy

  15.
