Risk Management Framework

We have a defined risk management strategy and framework, which is devised to identify, measure, monitor and mitigate various risks. A Risk Management committee, guided by the policy, directs appropriate systems to mitigate all material risks faced by the Company. The risk management framework draws inspiration from ‘Three Lines of Defence’ approach. Within this, the Company management acts as first line of defence, functional team such as risk management and compliance act as second line of defence and the internal audit acts as third line.

Risk Assessment Methodology

Risk management is integral to the Company’s strategy. The comprehensive understanding of risk management throughout the various levels of an organisation aids in driving key decisions related to risk-return balance, capital allocation and product pricing. The Company has a well-defined Risk Management Strategy and a Framework which is designed to identify, measure, monitor and mitigate various risks. Additionally, it is also ensured that appropriate focus is on managing risk proactively by ensuring business operations are in accordance with laid-down risk. A Board approved Risk Management Policy has been put in place to establish appropriate systems or procedures to mitigate all material risks faced by the Company

The Company is exposed to different types of risks emanating from both internal and external sources. A strong risk management team and an effective credit operations structure ensures that risks are properly identified and timely addressed, to ensure minimal impact on the Company’s growth and performance.

Risk Management team, identifies, analyses, and takes measures to mitigate risks faced by the Company. The team is guided by the Company’s Risk Management Committee and the Senior Management to develop and implement Risk Assurance practices on a pan-organisational basis.
