Integrating Risk Appetite with Strategy Introducing a integrated risk appetite framework Prepared for Manigent webinar 14 February 2011
Objectives and background  Objectives  Provide an outline of the Risk Appetite framework within Risk- based Performance.  Provide clarification about the role Risk Appetite has to play in the overall strategy process.  Create a discussion around risk appetite.  Background  Risk Appetite is central to the Risk-based Performance approach.  Risk Appetite is a hot topic with our clients right now. Page  2
Risk-based Performance Management integrates traditional performance and risk management to enable sustainable strategy execution What are our Threats and What are we trying to Opportunities? achieve? Strategy What is our Risk Appetite? Management Appetite Are we operating Are we on track? Performance Risk within appetite? Management Management Culture and mindset Page  3
The Risk-based Performance Management model is designed to be a continuous process: the journey is the destination What-if analysis Scenario analysis Define Objectives War games Clarify Strategy Define Appetite Define Risks Define Drivers Communicate what could Communicate intent hit us ‘out of the blue’ & accountabilities Model future Sustainable Operationalise uncertainty Strategy change Communicate how we will Communicate where we are provide assurance whilst doing well & doing poorly driving change Monitor and analyse indictors, KPIs, KRIs and KCIs. Monitor & analyse Capture and analyse risk events and Define Controls losses results Define Initiatives and actions Page  4
Risk Appetite, and more specifically appetite alignment, is central to the Risk-based performance approach Risk Appetite is central to sustainable strategy execution Page  5
Failures around risk appetite were highlighted in governmental and regulatory post-credit crunch reviews Supervisors see insufficient evidence of board involvement in setting and monitoring adherence to firms’ risk appetite. Risk appetite statements are generally not sufficiently robust; such statements rarely reflect a suitably wide range of measures and lack actionable elements that clearly articulate firms’ intended responses to losses of capital and breaches in limits. Board-level engagement in risk oversight should be materially increased, with particular attention to the monitoring of risk and discussion leading to decisions on the entity’s risk appetite and tolerance. Remuneration structures for all such “high end” employees are appropriately aligned with the medium and longer-term risk appetite and strategy of the entity. In essence, the obligation of the board in respect of risk should be to ensure that risks are promptly identified and assessed; that risks are effectively controlled; that strategy is informed by and aligned with the board’s risk appetite; and that a supportive risk culture is appropriately embedded so that all employees are alert to the wider impact on the whole organisation of their actions and decisions. Page  6
What is Risk Appetite?
The definition of Risk Appetite is clear, but the application is less well understood Risk appetite is the amount and type of risk that is acceptable to be taken by an Risk appetite sets the boundaries within organisational entity over a defined time which strategy is executed – Manigent period, to achieve the objectives of that entity – COSO Enterprise Risk Management  The COSO definition provides ‘What, Who, When and Why’ of risk appetite  What: the amount and type of risk  Who: an organisational entity  When: over a defined time horizon  Why: to achieve the objectives of the entity Page  8
Risk Appetite is a multidimensional construct, which changes depending on the organisational entity and what they are trying to achieve Annual 90 days Investment Banking example We are willing to put £x million of Overnight capital @ risk to trade on our own account over the next 12 month Extreme period. We hold no more than x% of our capital in overnight positions. High We will accept operational losses of £x million per month. Moderate Water Industry example We have no appetite for causing Low customer illness by supplying poor quality water. We have no appetite for appearing in local press related to leaks or fines for more than 2 consecutive Strategic Market Credit Liquidity Operational days. Page  9
Cascading Risk Appetite through the organisation, is a powerful way of shaping culture and aligning risk- taking The nature of the organisational unit Organisational will influence the risk dimensions entity used to consider appetite.

This Risk Appetite framework is based on a ‘vital few’ drivers which shape thinking around risk appetite and how risk is assessed, and creates a ‘hard’ link to strategy Business drivers Objectives Shareholder value (What are we trying to achieve?) Capital Risk Appetite (How much risk do we want/ Share price need to take?) Risk Dimensions Income (How do we think about risk) Risk Exposure Economic Value (How much risk we taking?) Add Reputational Key Risks Return on risk (What are our uncertainties related to achievement of the objectives?) adjusted capital Regulatory uncertainty Risk Events Return on risk (What has gone wrong/right?) adjusted assets Technology innovation Scenarios (What could go wrong/right?)

When considering risk appetite, the Board and Executive should also develop a clear understanding of the organisational Risk Capacity  Risk Capacity is the absolute maximum amount of risk an organisation can withstand without causing its failure. Risk Appetite and Risk Capacity Risk Appetite Risk Capacity Take emergence Put the resolution action to reduce risk, plan into action to and get back into wind up the business appetite Low Moderate High Extreme Page  17
Using this approach enables the Board to be very clear about the operating boundaries for the business Time Capacity Risk Dimension Low Moderate High Extreme horizon Limit X% Capital X% Capital X% Capital X% Capital Above Capital Overnight @Risk @Risk @Risk @Risk X £M Up to X £M to X £M to X £M to Above Capital Annual X £M Y £M Y £M Y £M X £M Up to X Up to X Up to X Up to X Reputation Annual vol. Bad vol. Bad vol. Bad vol. Bad coverage coverage coverage coverage  This approach creates shared, clear and actionable understanding of the organisational appetite, within the Board, the executive and across the enterprise.  Using clearly defined risk dimensions and levels of risk, creates a common language for the organisation, at all level, to embed risk in a strategic or operational decision-making. Page  18
The Risk Assessment process is driven by the risk dimensions used to define risk appetite enabling exposure to be aligned to appetite Appetite sets the boundaries for the business within which they execute strategy and create value. Reputation Capital Therefore the Appetite Alignment Matrix provides @Risk @Risk a method of visually monitoring and managing our risk taking according to the strategy, identifying where too much or not enough risk is being taken. Impact x Likelihood (over a time horizon) Page  19
How this approach fits together to enable Boards and Executive teams to answer some ‘big’ questions. What is our Strategy?

    Failures around riskappetite were highlighted in governmental and regulatory post-credit crunch reviews Supervisors see insufficient evidence of board involvement in setting and monitoring adherence to firms’ risk appetite. Risk appetite statements are generally not sufficiently robust; such statements rarely reflect a suitably wide range of measures and lack actionable elements that clearly articulate firms’ intended responses to losses of capital and breaches in limits. Board-level engagement in risk oversight should be materially increased, with particular attention to the monitoring of risk and discussion leading to decisions on the entity’s risk appetite and tolerance. Remuneration structures for all such “high end” employees are appropriately aligned with the medium and longer-term risk appetite and strategy of the entity. In essence, the obligation of the board in respect of risk should be to ensure that risks are promptly identified and assessed; that risks are effectively controlled; that strategy is informed by and aligned with the board’s risk appetite; and that a supportive risk culture is appropriately embedded so that all employees are alert to the wider impact on the whole organisation of their actions and decisions.

We hold no more than x% of our capital in overnight positions. High We will accept operational losses of £x million per month. Moderate Water Industry example We have no appetite for causing Low customer illness by supplying poor quality water.
