Compliance risk is the threat posed to Danske Bank’s financial, organizational and reputational standing that could arise from violations of laws, regulations, codes of conduct, or organizational standards of practice. To fully understand risk exposure, we identify and assess all Compliance risk themes, and assess the controls in place to mitigate those risks. Taking the assessment of the controls, Group Compliance then test the controls and ensure on an ongoing basis that the controls meet the needs of the organisation to mitigate the inherent risks identified.
Within the Group Compliance, we have identified a need to introduce a standard approach to risk assessments across all Compliance risk themes and ensure a sustainable programme is in place to keep risk assessments up to date and continuously able to identify and assess the risks and controls in a consistent way (with a methodology that can be leveraged across a number of different Compliance risks). This approach which is repeatable (at least annually) in a sustainable way (incorporating full traceability to the Enterprise Risk Taxonomy, and ultimately to the legal obligations and regulatory requirements and expectations).
In parallel, the team is embarking on a period of expansion following consideration of an update to the operating model where the execution focus of the teams involved in Risk Assessment being centralised.
This operating model evolution, and the ongoing need to align to the changing landscape of laws and regulations with which the organization is required to comply (in all jurisdictions where it conducts business), requires co-ordination, strong management and collaboration with the Financial Crime Compliance, Business, and those teams where risk management has been out-sourced internally to Operations teams. This strong link to the Business, and the Operations and Compliance teams that support the Business ensures; focus on the areas of the risks and control frameworks that require development, and assessment of controls in the context of effectiveness that are candidates for control testing, to ensure that the Business and Compliance teams can prioritise the control weaknesses that present a residual risk to Danske Bank.
In addition, Group Compliance has implemented a number of SLAs with other Branches and Le-gal entities (in Denmark and other locations), which will require oversight and management, recognising there are a number of deliverables that require co-ordination from the Risk
Assessment Team.
The cascading of the outcome of the risk assessments to risk owners is a key responsibility of this role and vital to ensure that an effective risk and controls environment can be matured across the organisation, by identifying and agreeing on risks, framework and weaknesses with the respective risk owners so that they are able to take action to resolve identified issues. The importance of this activity as a foundation of the Compliance Programme is paramount to the success of the Group Compliance department
