In order to organize risk-oriented management, timely response to changes in the external and internal environment, as well as reduce possible losses in the implementation of risks, the Company ensures the implementation and improvement of the corporate risk management system: risk coordinators of structural divisions responsible for risk management are appointed, a Risk Committee is formed for preliminary consideration and approval of issues related to risk management, quarterly reports on key risk management are generated, internal regulatory documents on risk management are updated.
The Company's Board of Directors approved a consolidated register, a risk map, and quarterly reports on key risk management with a description and analysis of key risks. In order to apply a risk-oriented approach, the Company's Board of Directors approved restrictions (risk appetite) for the types of the Company's activities – investment, operational and financial.
When identifying risks, the Company relies on expert assessment, statistical data, a database of losses that have occurred, the results of audit and other inspections, etc. The identified risks are formed in the register and the risk map of the Company for their subsequent assessment, management and monitoring. The risks included in the register and the risk map are regularly (annually) reviewed to determine the relevance and level of materiality.
