– Strong involvement of the BoD and ExB in risk process

– Balanced mix of members in the bank’s risk management committees

– Clear responsibility / accountability: each risk has an owner

– Concept of 3 lines of defense1st line: Front office is ultimate risk (P&L) owner

2nd line: Independent risk organization

3rd line: Internal and external audit
