sharesRisk management and internal control
Risk management refers to actions aimed at systematically surveying, identifying, analysing and preventing risks as part of daily management of the business. The objective of risk management is to support the smooth implementation of strategy and income generation, to ensure adequacy of own funds in relation to risk positions, and to ensure the correct pricing of risks to achieve sustainable profitability. The main areas of risk management are credit risk, market risk including interest rate risk, liquidity risk and financial risk, and strategic and operational risks.
Alisa Bank defines risk as an event or series of events that jeopardise the company's income generation over the short or long term.
Alisa Bank's Board of Directors is primarily responsible for the Alisa Bank Group's risk management. The Board of Directors has determined the level of risk that the company is willing to accept in order to achieve its strategic goals. The accepted level of risk is based on a risk appetite framework, on which the key principles and rules guiding risk-taking are also based.
The aim is to ensure sufficient risk tolerance in relation to all relevant identified risks. Risks are managed in accordance with risk limits and guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. The Board has also set up a credit and risk control committee that briefs the Board on risk-taking proposals.
In addition to the general principles of risk management, Alisa Bank Group's risk management is founded on the "three lines of defence" model. The first line of defence: the business units; the second line of defence: risk control and compliance; and the third line of defence: internal audit.
The first line of defence consists of the business units. The managers of the business units are responsible for ensuring that risk management is at a sufficient level in each respective unit.
The second line of defence consists of the Risk Control and Compliance functions.
Risk Control
The Risk Control function oversees compliance with the risk limits granted to the business units, as well as compliance with risk-taking policies and guidelines. In addition, the risk control function supports the implementation of systematic, proactive and comprehensive risk management. The Risk Control function reports its observations to the Credit and Risk Committee, the Management Team and the company's Board of Directors.
Compliance
The Compliance function is responsible for ensuring compliance with the rules in all Alisa Bank Group's operations by supporting operating management and the business units in applying the provisions of the law, regulations and internal guidelines, and in
identifying, managing and reporting on any risks of insufficient compliance with the rules in accordance with the separate compliance policy confirmed by Alisa Bank's Board of Directors. The Compliance function reports on its operations regularly via the Audit Committee to Alisa Bank's Board of Directors.
Internal audit
The third line of defence comprises of Internal Audit. The internal audit is a support function for the Board of Directors and senior management that is independent of the business functions. It is administratively subordinate to the CEO and reports administratively to the CEO and functionally, via the Audit Committee, to the Board of Alisa Bank Plc.
The internal audit assesses the functioning of the Alisa Bank Group's internal control system, the appropriateness and efficiency of the functions and compliance with guidelines. It does this by means of inspections that are based on the internal audit action plan approved annually by the Audit Committee of the Board of Alisa Bank.
The internal audit complies not only with the internal audit guidelines, but also with the internationally acknowledged framework of professional practices (the Institute of Internal Auditors) and corresponding guidelines on information systems audit standards (the Information Systems Audit and Control Association).
Financial reporting process
The objective of internal control over the financial reporting process is to ensure that Alisa Bank Plc's operations are effective, that decision-making is based on reliable information and adequate identification of business risks, and that the financial reports published by the company provide materially accurate information about the company's finances. Internal control measures are aimed at ensuring that the financial assets are protected against misconduct and that the financial reporting has been conducted accurately and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The Alisa Bank Group's financial reporting is managed centrally by the financial administration. Alisa Bank Plc's Group budget is approved annually by the Board of Directors.
