Investor Presentation - FY 2023

Investor Presentation - FY 2023 Completion of our Financial Crime Transformation Programme Danske Bank Establishing a robust compliance function In the recent years, the Bank has made significant investments to ensure that a robust, well-resourced and expert compliance function is in place across our operations to effectively combat financial crime. The Bank has made significant changes to ensure that it has the right people, structures and controls in place to continue to achieve and maintain a culture of integrity in everything it does, deliver on the financial crime transformation and manage compliance issues that arise in the future. In designing the Group Financial Crime Plan, Danske Bank has, to the extent possible, sought to execute the programme in a risk-prioritised way. Wherever possible, the Bank has been adopting an approach of trying to mitigate the most material residual risks first. The completion of the Group Financial Crime Plan was one of the bank- wide objectives set by the ELT for 2023. Completion of the Group Financial Crime Plan The purpose of the Financial Crime Plan has been to design and implement a financial crime control framework that (i) meets the regulatory requirements applicable to the Group; and (ii) is reasonably designed to manage the Group's inherent financial crime risk in line with the Group's risk tolerance - by harnessing global best practice as appropriate. The Bank has now completed its Financial Crime Plan and sees this as a significant achievement. We will continue testing our controls, to ensure that what we have implemented is fully embedded and operating effectively. Should the outcome of the testing require further improvements, those will be addressed as part of normal procedure. The Bank also intends to enhance its controls to make them more customer-centric whilst maintaining risk management effectiveness as well as introducing greater automation which will reduce operational risk and increase cost effectiveness. 30
