RISK MANAGEMENT USE CASE

Written by Jeroen van der Sluis | Jan 27, 2026, 9:00:00 AM

CHALLENGE

A multinational bank is facing pressure from regulators to demonstrate how it was managing its non-financial risks. The bank had a fragmented approach to risk management, and it was difficult to track and manage risks across the organisation.

SOLUTION

Development of an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework to:

  • Define Key Risk Indicators (KRIs).

  • Identify all stakeholders in the risk management process.

  • Redesign the bank's policy framework to align with the new ERM framework.

  • Develop a risk management tool to track risk data.

  • Implement effective risk controls across business units.

  • Develop clear reporting for committees and the board.

IMPACT

The bank has now a comprehensive and integrated ERM framework that allows it to:

  • Identify and assess all significant non-financial risks.

  • Develop and implement effective risk controls.

  • Report on risk management activities to stakeholders.

The bank is now able to demonstrate to regulators that it is effectively managing its non-financial risks.
