Resilience in a risk management framework is achieved by ensuring that there is comprehensive knowledge, awareness and ownership of risk.  This resilience requires a clear definition of roles and responsibilities, providing for action, oversight, and assurance in executing a business strategy: 

• The 1st LoD executes and manages the risk.

• The 2nd LoD provides expert oversight and control.

• The 3rd LoD delivers assurance.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations have become among the most pressing challenges in Financial Services.  The challenge is not limited to shareholders and regulators but encompasses all the constituent parts of public opinion, including employees, customers, clients and activists.  Furthermore, it represents a set of risks that traditional risk frameworks can’t measure.  They require a different mindset and tools over different time horizons.

The frequency of material risk events that test accepted risk models and frameworks will continue.  Their fallibility will also continue.  The resulting governance and regulatory response add cost, complexity and challenge to practitioners.  Timely and experienced assurance will help minimize the impact and cost of future tail risk events.
