Risk Oversight Management is principally responsible for managing the Company’s risks on a day-to-day basis. The Board, working together with the Audit Committee, reviews the Company’s risk profile and risk management strategies at regular intervals. Members of the Company’s finance team, led by the Chief Financial Officer and the Global Risk Committee, also review with the Audit Committee categories of risk the Company faces, including any risk concentrations, risk interrelationships, and financial and cybersecurity risk exposures, as well as the likelihood of occurrence, the potential impact of those risks and the steps management has taken to monitor, mitigate, and control such exposures. The Company’s Chief Information Security Officer also frequently participates in these reviews. The Company’s Chief Information Security Officer reports at least quarterly to the Audit Committee and at least annually to the full Board regarding cybersecurity incidents, threats, risks, and the plans and policies to address them. Updates on risks deemed material to the Company are reviewed at regular meetings of the Audit Committee and reported to the full Board. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation programs for consistency and alignment with Lazard’s strategic goals, and in connection therewith reviews Lazard’s compensation practices to assess the risk that they will have a material adverse effect on the Company.
