 business. The Operational Risk Management Framework is a set of interrelated tools and processes that are used to identify, assess, mitigate and monitor the bank’s operational risks. Its components have been designed to operate together to provide a comprehensive, risk-based approach to managing the bank’s most material operational risks. Operational Risk Management Framework components include the Group’s approach to setting and adhering to operational risk appetite, the operational risk type and control taxonomies, the policies and procedures for operational risk management processes including the respective tools, and the bank’s operational risk capital model. Organizational and governance structure While the day-to-day management of operational risk is the primary responsibility of business divisions and infrastructure functions, where these risks are generated, Non-Financial Risk Management (NFRM) oversees the Group-wide management of operational risks, identifies, and reports risk concentrations, and promotes a consistent application of the Operational Risk Management Framework across the bank. NFRM is part of the Group’s risk function, the Chief Risk Office, which is headed by the Chief Risk Officer. The Chief Risk Officer appoints the Head of NFRM, who is accountable for the design, oversight and maintenance of an effective, efficient and regulatory compliant Operational Risk Management Framework, including the operational risk capital model. The Head of NFRM monitors and challenges the Operational Risk Management Framework’s Group wide implementation and monitors overall risk levels against the bank’s operational risk appetite. The Non-Financial Risk Committee is responsible for the oversight, governance, and coordination of the management of operational risk in the Group, by establishing a cross-risk and holistic perspective of the key operational risks of the Group. Its decision-making and policy related authorities include the review, advice and management of all operational risk issues that may impact the risk profile of business divisions and infrastructure functions. Several sub-fora with attendees from both the 1st LoD and 2nd LoD support the Non-Financial Risk Committee to effectively fulfil its mandate. In addition to the Group level Non-Financial Risk Committee, business divisions have established 1st LoD non-financial risk fora for the oversight and management of operational risks on various levels of the organization. The governance of operational risks follows the bank’s 3LoD approach to managing all of its financial and non-financial risks. The Operational Risk Management Framework establishes the operational risk governance standards including the core 1st and 2nd LoD roles and their responsibilities, to ensure effective risk management and appropriate independent challenge.
