RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
0.
Liquidity Risk (continued)
The Group considers Information and related processes, systems, and networks as an important and
valuable asset. These assets are required to be protected to ensure their confidentiality, availability and
integrity at all times.
The Group has established a comprehensive cyber security framework based on three line of defence model.
The framework ensures the Group is resilient to sustain cyber security threats in an evolving and increasingly
complex digital environment.
Business Continuity Management
Business Continuity Management (BCM) is defined as a holistic management process that identifies potential
threats to an organsation and the impacts to business operations that those threats, if realised, might cause,
and which provides a framework for building organisational resilience with the capability for an effective
response that safeguards the interests of its key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value-creating activities.
The business continuity process across the Group is based on the international standard ISO22301:2012 (E).
The BRC is responsible for providing oversight and strategy for Business Continuity Management. Business
and support units are responsible to ensure appropriate Business Continuity Plans are in place and tested
for their respective areas. The effectiveness of the Business Continuity Plans is monitored independently by
Group Operational Risk.
O.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity Risk refers to the inability of the Group to fund an increase in assets and meet obligations as they
become due (Structural Funding Risk), or the inability to convert assets into cash at reasonable prices (Market
Liquidity Risk). The risk arises from mismatches in the amount and timings of cash flows.
Objectives and Governance structure
The objective of the Group's liquidity and funding management framework is to ensure that all foreseeable
funding commitments (under both normal and stressed conditions) can be met when due, and that access to
the wholesale markets is coordinated and cost effective. To this end, the Group maintains a diversified funding
base comprising core retail and corporate customer deposits and institutional balances. This is augmented
with wholesale funding and portfolios of highly liquid assets diversified by currency and maturity which are
held to enable the Group to respond quickly and smoothly to unforeseen liquidity requirements.
Policies and Procedures
Specifically, liquidity and funding management process includes:
Projecting cash flows under various stress scenarios and considering the level of liquid assets necessary in
relation thereto;
Mis-match analysis between assets and liabilities for different periods with a focus on shorter time frames.
These gap reports are based on contractual cash flow, retention and decay assumptions for non-maturing
assets and liabilities and potential liquidity demand through undrawn commitments;
Monitoring balance sheet liquidity and advances to deposits ratios against internal and regulatory
requirements;
Maintaining a diverse range of funding sources with back-up facilities;
Managing the concentration and profile of debt maturities;
Maintaining debt financing plans;
Monitoring customer depositor concentration in order to avoid undue reliance on large individual
depositors and ensure a satisfactory overall funding mix; and
Maintaining liquidity and funding contingency plans. These plans identify early indicators of distress
conditions and describe actions to be taken in the event of difficulties arising from systemic or other
crisis, while minimising adverse long-term implications for the business.
