CONDUCTI NG RISK MONITORI NG AND TREATMENT PROCESS:

Process Overview General Description

RMI and Risk Coordinators are constantly required to interact; to measure; aggregate; communicate; and treat risks. In order to perform comprehensive risk treatment activities, RMI is required to obtain and analyze internal as well as external data to ensure detailed understanding of the current status and exposure to risks. Centralized and local risk treatments activities should then be performed accordingly, with reference to the Risk Monitoring and Treatment Plan. Preparation and distribution of reports is required to ensure systematic monitoring of risk exposures, violations, and the completeness and effectiveness of risk treatment activities across ABCD. 

Process Objectives:

  • To create risk specific guidelines for treatment & monitoring.
  • To gather enough information to determine and analyze risk exposure across ABCD.
  • To monitor and report risk exposures and risk limit violations.
  • To perform and evaluate centralised and local risk treatment.
  • To create and share risk monitoring  and treatment reports  (including information on risk exposure, effectiveness of risk treatment, etc.) with the ROC and ABCD Management

Participants:

The process has the following participants:

  • RMI provides guidelines, calculates risk exposure, work with teams to facilitate identification of risk treatment plans, aggregate and evaluate risk treatment performance information, and distribute risk management reports.
  • Teams provide inputs to RMI to calculate risk exposures, monitors risk management performance and perform local risk treatment.
  • Risk Coordinators act as point of contact for concerned team.
  • Portfolio Owners provide the status of risk treatment activities in progress and the aggregated monitoring data about risk metrics.
  • Single Risk Owners provide all risk treatment related information and updates to the Portfolio Owners.

Triggers

This is an ongoing process and the monitoring and treatment plan for each risk portfolio has its own triggers (the process could be periodic or triggered by specific events, like: new contract; new counterparty, etc.).

Inputs to the Process

  • Existing risk register.
  • Existing risk monitoring & treatment plan.
  • Inputs  from  Teams on risk management  (e.g., data on defined risk metrics,  results  of risk monitoring and treatment, etc.).

Outputs from the Process

  • Guidelines on metrics/ limits/ risk treatment issued by RMI IAffiliated Teams to other teams.
  • Risk management reports (risk exposure, results of risk monitoring and treatment).
  • Treatment of risks.

Operation Procedures

1. Provide Guidelines

The procedure provide guidelines aims at studying the existing exposure of ABCD to risk and its causes and providing high level guidelines to Teams in order to measure and track risks.

  • RMI team to study the current exposure(s) of ABCD risks and its causes.
  • RMI team shall provide high level guidelines to teams in order to measure and track risks.

This is not a trigger for initiating a treatment plan but is essentially a starting step which allows ease of data collection post an event or trigger.

2. Collect Inputs

The procedure Collect Inputs focuses on producing clear, accurate, systematic and detailed documentation on internal and external information collected pertaining to risk measurements and current monitoring and treatment activities.

  • Risk Coordinators from each team I group representative shall collect information requested and update/report them to RMI.
  • Required items to be collected/conveyed for reporting such as Risk ID from existing risk, risk name, risk descriptions, risk likelihood and risk impact.
  • RMI Team responsible to collect the team input, review and organize information received.
  • RMI Team also responsible to collect external input (such as change in Political environment I generic analysis of political conditions)

3. Calculate Risk Exposure

The procedure Calculate Risk Exposure focuses on producing periodic reports on risk exposures and risk limit violations, based on sufficient and accurate information provided by respective teams.

  • RMI team responsible and as the reviewer in calculating ABCD exposure to risk, utilizing data /information collected from teams as input to risk metrics/severity.
  • RMI team responsible to monitor/ compare risk exposure to agreed limits.
  • RMI Team has the responsibility to report risks exposure (include report on risk exposure and items exceeding the limit @ risks that is considered VH Risk) and share with ROC and Top Management.
  • RMI Team needs to review the calculations and analysis as well prepare required reports.
  • RMI team shall decide for any limit exceptions (Risk with severity in Very High Status),
  • Risk needs to be treated (given prioritization I centralized or local risk treatment)
  • Risk that has not exceed limit exceptions (Risk not in Very High Category) shall be reviewed and reported /documented as regular risk register at local risks treatment.

4. Treat Risks

The procedure Treat Risks focuses on performing central and local risk treatment activities by the relevant parties.

  • Portfolio owner /Risk owner shall decide if the mentioned risk could be treated centrally (refer to specific risk monitoring and treatment plan), else it can be treated as Local risk treatment.
  • Central Risk Treatment activities for risk that cannot be effectively treated by any single team shall be the responsibility of Portfolio owner.
  • Activities and performing local risk treatment (risk mitigation with jurisdiction of the team) shall be under responsibility of the team (risk owner)

5) Track Performance

The procedure Track Performance focuses on tracking the performance of risk treatment activities, based on sufficient and detailed analysis of information provided by the respective teams.

  • Risk Coordinators or Portfolio owners are responsible to provide performance information by collecting the performance and progress of risk treatment activities & reporting such information to ERM Team
  • RMI team are responsible in tracking risk management performance by aggregating, evaluating, and reviewing the risk performance info and progress.
  • In the event of further information required regarding risk performance, RMI to collect further info from Portfolio owner or Risk Coordinators (whichever applicable)
  • RMI shall proceed to report /update report for all other risk

6. Report

The procedure Report focuses on producing periodic reports on ABCD’s risk management activities and outcomes for the ROG and ABCD Top Management. These reports should incorporate clear and concise documentation of all relevant information, either internal or external.

  • RMI Team responsible for Reporting Risk Management Performance
  • RMI team shall prepare and report risk management performance to ROC and ABCD Top Management & Portfolio Owner (if any). Key Risk / Very  High-Risk Report are requested by KPC on quarterly basis.
