Support the development and maintenance of risk and control assessment frameworks, helping to strengthen the overall control environment. Assist in producing governance reports and briefing materials for senior leadership, committees, and external supervisory bodies.
- Risk Culture and Accountability: Promote a proactive approach to risk management across the organisation by encouraging strong ownership of risks and controls. Work with business stakeholders to ensure significant risk and control issues are identified, addressed, and appropriately monitored.
