RISK - FINANCE RISK

The Risk division is responsible for credit, market and operational risk, model risk, independent liquidity risk, and insurance throughout the firm. The mission of Risk Division is to effectively identify, monitor, evaluate and manage the firm’s financial and operational risks (including reputational risk) in support of the firm’s strategic plan, and in a manner consistent with the objectives set out in the firm’s Board-approved Risk Appetite Statement. Through comprehensive processes, which include critical analysis, evaluating stress scenarios, dynamically managing risk, and prudently balancing risk and reward, the Risk Division plays a critical 2nd line of defense role. Finance Risk is the independent risk management function responsible for identifying, quantifying and managing the firm’s liquidity and accrual rates risk. We work closely with Corporate Treasury, Global Banking and Markets, Asset and Wealth Management and Platform Solutions, as well as the broader Risk organization to provide independent risk assessment and oversight of the firm’s risk taking. Key functions include:

• Stress Testing: Review of methodology and assumptions
• Risk Oversight: Monitor, govern, and challenge Corporate Treasury execution activities, including liquidity and funding projections, accrual rates risk management, liability management, cash & collateral management, funds transfer pricing, balance sheet usage
• Risk Limit Governance: Setting risk appetite, calibration of risk limits, sign-off on limits frameworks, and ongoing monitoring of limit utilization and remediation
• Governance & Reviews: Ongoing evaluation of compliance with key regulatory regimes, new activity impact assessments and approvals, engagement with key committees and governing bodies, and maintenance of key policies and procedures
• Active and ongoing engagement with risk taking businesses to understand, monitor, and govern risk taking activities
• Direct engagement with Risk Leadership and global regulators regarding material risks, current risk exposures, and limits governance
