Risk
Mitigation
Governance risk which includes:
•
Trustees are recruited through open
and transparent member elections
or through the advertisement and
appointment of co-opted positions
managed by the Board of Trustees
Nominations Committee.
•
Board of Trustees approval of
delegated authority is regularly
reviewed and clearly communicated.
•
In-depth reporting framework to the
Board of Trustees is maintained.
•
We review and continually update our
compliance and regulatory reporting
to reflect legislative and regulatory
changes, an example of which includes
data-protection control reports.
•
We have improved our online
monitoring systems, such as
quality-monitoring systems, the
online complaints system, online
incident-reporting system and online
management compliance audits to
provide improved visibility, evidencing
good performance.
•
A robust whistle-blowing policy is in
place, which is accessible and known
to all employees. Any issues arising
from a disclosure are promptly and
properly investigated, and reported.
•
lack of compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements
•
conflicts of interest
•
lack of appropriate oversight or
delegations of responsibility.
These risks could have an indirect impact
on our operational delivery and the degree
of regulatory scrutiny we may face.
