2. To better understand the evolution of risk management and the development of the Chief Risk Officer function • To share our Point of View on emerging trends in Risk Management and the Risk Intelligent Organization • A large number of companies in search of similar ideas and solutions • Share what we are hearing and incorporate our thoughts to validate or enhance direction that the financial services industry is pursuing CAS definition of ERM The process by which organizations in all industries assess, control, exploit, finance and monitor risks from all sources for the purpose of increasing the organization’s short and long term value to it’s stakeholders Introduction

3. Why is integration required? • Risks are often interrelated but are being managed as single impact events. • Organizational complexity and ineffective communication processes result in an incomplete or incorrect understanding of risks actually faced. • Varying levels of risk appetites exist across an organization – Are managers taking on risk levels consistent with the expectations of executives? How much risk does the organization have the capacity to take on? • Opportunities to offset unrelated risks within the organization are not taken advantage of. • Lack of learning from common risk management practices and experiences.

4. What is Enterprise Risk Management? A systematic and disciplined way to: • Identify, assess and prioritize the major risks associated with the organization’s key values and corporate goals • Gather risk intelligence about current operations and future growth opportunities within and across the extended enterprise • Install a risk infrastructure that is appropriate to the enterprise and the volatility of its business • Integrate risk intelligence into decision-making across the organization • Identify inter-dependencies and correlations across risks and specializations • Establish early warning and rapid response systems • Provide assurance that key risks and exposures are understood, appropriately mitigated and cost-effectively controlled

5. Common Needs • Organizations today are challenged with a set of common needs as well as those unique to their organization. • All organizations must manage risk whether or not they choose to do so systematically • Chaotic environment / post Sept 11 • Risk and risk management are “top of mind” for everyone • Board does not know what to expect from senior management re: risk management • Need “Risk Intelligence” for better decision-making and governance • Risk exposures increase as interconnectedness and interdependencies increase • Organizations need to be able to understand interrelatedness, correlations and domino effects of risks • Increasing scrutiny from key stakeholders • A new approach is required because of weaknesses in traditional approaches – need to protect profitability from existing operations (Assets in Place) as well as grow future opportunities

6. Common Questions

9. Evolving Role and Responsibility of the Chief Risk Officer “… risk management will begin to act as a kind of central nervous system for the financial institution, with ‘nerves’ relaying information back and forth and warning of potential hazards, as well as ‘brains’ performing high-level risk calculations on enterprise-wide data. These functions will work tightly together - and be constantly aware of what is going on in the rest of the institution.” Risk Professional March 2000

10. Why a Chief Risk Officer? • Assure continuity and consistency in risk management with a single organizational unit that bears direct responsibility for directing the organization’s entire risk management process. • Provide a solid foundation for developing and implementing a successful risk management strategy, process and culture. • Centralize risk management to ensure that a common risk framework, policies, and measurement methodologies are implemented and sustained: • Provide senior management and decision-makers a more clear, consistent and complete view of the organization’s risks and its readiness to manage them • Enable the company to make better cost/benefit decisions in its risk management and mitigation efforts • Increase board and management confidence that its current operations and facilitates proactive thinking about future risks.

11. The role of the CRO • Developing a common risk management strategy and instilling a consistent level of risk awareness throughout the company. • Provide the focal point for risk management strategy development, deployment and communication. • Should have close reporting ties to the CFO, CEO and the board of directors and have direct reporting from the heads of the major risk management disciplines (e.g. Internal Audit, Ethics, Compliance, Legal, Health & Safety, Loss Prevention, etc.). • Risk committees developed within the organization typically report to the CRO. This includes the IT function, internal audit, market risk, credit risk, insurance, ethics, and strategy.

12. The role of the CRO • Responsible for: • maintaining an awareness of risk issues throughout the organization • developing a risk management strategy and setting risk policy • measuring risk, reporting exposures, and proactively thinking about operational and other related risk • Should not be responsible for the day to day performance of risk management activities or for directing or managing business operations or administrative areas. • Responsibility for actively managing and mitigating risk on a day to day basis remains the responsibility of each business unit manager and staff person.

13. The role of the CRO • The primary core functions necessary for success depend on the industry • Skills vary by corporate objectives and strategies. • Typically, CRO’s have strong skills and experience in market and credit risk. This is primarily due to the strong influence of CRO positions in the financial and utility industries. • A growing trend for CRO’s to posses a strong operational risk perspective. • The CRO typically is a member of risk governance and approval committees and has authority for specific risk management policies, such as strategic and operational risk. • The CRO is the one who is trusted to make decisions about how the organization’s various risks tie to its strategy and initiatives.

14. Building Blocks for Effective Risk Management & Control Future Growth Value Strategy Tactics Assets -in-Place Operations D&T’s Point of View

15. Intangibles Matter More Than Tangibles Share value has two major components • Assets in Place • Profitability from current operations = tangible • Future Growth Opportunities • Intangibles – people, relationships, brands, reputation • Drive the multiples of valuation • Anything associated with the word “NEW” • The market disproportionately rewards Future Growth Opportunities • It under-rewards the growth of Assets in Place and severely punishes any deterioration D&T’s Point of View

16. The Risk Intelligent Organization • Organizations are increasingly seeking risk as a source of competitive advantage to exploit the upside and protect the downside • Success demands excellent risk management as a core competency • More and more organizations are demonstrating a desire to become Risk Intelligent • Risk intelligence is the ability to think and learn about outcomes - it is how an organization gathers information, analyses, applies and then learns from the results • Risk intelligence requires effective systems, information and timely reporting to enable organizational learning and successful adaptation – a “risk nervous system” D&T’s Point of View

17. The Risk Intelligent Organization Characteristics of the Risk Intelligent Organization: • Risk analysis is built-in to the decision-making process • There is a systematic process for identifying, assessing and prioritizing business risks • There is an appropriate risk infrastructure to support sustainable risk management capability D&T’s Point of View

18. Our definition of risk includes strategic, tactical, and operational risks (not just financial and accounting or insurance) Our risk identification process adequately addresses current operations as well as future growth opportunities We make appropriate use of qualitative and quantitative assessment methods We have established our risk tolerance policy applicable to all areas of the company We apply a consistent company-wide risk–reward trade-off rule to all of our decisions Risk assessment and prioritization are integral parts of the organization’s business planning, budgeting, capital allocation, and audit planning processes. The Board, Audit Committee or Executive are asking broader questions about risk and exposure e.g., strategic and tactical not just operational Senior management and board members are promptly informed of issues that may have a significant impact on risk management and control. We have appropriate oversight of the key risks faced by the company. Risks, controls, and exposures are systematically reviewed at intervals that are appropriate to the volatility of our organization’s business conditions. Timely and reliable information is available to personnel to manage the risk inherent in current and future growth objectives. Our disaster recovery plan enables us to be up and running within 24 hours or less. We have clearly defined metrics and early-warning indicators to identify when risk thresholds are about to be exceeded. We use appropriate risk-based valuation methodologies to assess current operations and future growth opportunities. Credit risk is coordinated and integrated across the entire organization Risk / reward calculations are an explicit part of our decision model. Risk / reward trade-offs are systematically evaluated from a portfolio perspective When a risk occurs, the organization systematically conducts reviews to identify and correct root causes. The organization follows up to ensure that mitigation strategies and corrective actions are effective. Risk-management and internal-control best practices are shared to accelerate organizational learning. Risk management is accepted as an integral part of everyone’s job There are effective processes in place for communicating and managing change Authority, responsibility and accountability are clear. We trust each other and communicate openly about our objectives and risks. We understand what is expected of us and the scope of our freedom to act. Assessing Risk Intelligence D&T’s Point of View
