2. Risk management & Key risk factors 2.1 Overview of TMBThanachart’s Risk Management Risk management is an integral part of the Bank‘s business activities and strategic planning with the objective to optimize risks and returns and create sustainable shareholder value whilst remaining in compliance with regulatory requirements. The Bank has established a solid risk governance framework which serves as the foundation for consistent and effective risk management. The risk governance framework mainly consists of a clear risk governance structure, risk appetite, risk management policies, consistent risk management processes and an embedded risk culture. All of this translates into a straight forward risk management strategy in which: • Products and portfolios are structured, underwritten, priced, approved and managed appropriately and within established risk appetites; • Compliance with internal and external regulations and guidelines is monitored continuously; • Our risk profile and risk appetite are transparent and consistent; • Delegated authorities are consistent with the Bank’s overall strategy and risk appetite; • Communication to internal and external stakeholders on risk management and value creation is transparent. 2.1.1 Risk Governance Structure The Bank maintains a risk governance structure that is intended to strengthen risk management by ensuring that risk-taking authorities are properly cascaded down from the Board to the appropriate committees and functional levels. Risk issues and the changing regulatory and business environment are managed in an efficient and effective manner. To maintain the independence of the Compliance function, Compliance has a dual reporting line to both the Audit Committee and Chief Risk Officer.
