“If you don’t invest in risk management, it doesn’t matter what business you’re in, it’s a risky business.”
The recently published MFSA Corporate Governance Code emphasises on the Board of Directors’ responsibility in ensuring proper execution of the essential pillars of corporate governance. A predominant corporate governance pillar which is required across all Authorised Entities is an effective risk management function. Directors should be confident that the Authorised Entities on which they sit, implement risk management systems which are properly established and seamlessly functioning.
A proper functioning risk management infrastructure should extend across all entity business lines and provide both awareness and consideration of all entity risk exposures with the aim of ensuring fully informed decision making. It should allow for the effective identification, monitoring, understanding and management of any current or potential risk exposures. Indeed, an effective risk management infrastructure provides Directors with the necessary tools to identify and manage or mitigate potential risk exposures.
