Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Alan Merriman:

Okay. And I think this deserves a full response. First of all, when I joined EBS, it wasn't intended that risk would be under my remit. At that point in time, there was a director who had that responsibility at board level. They resigned shortly after my arrival and after, you know, consideration, the chief executive and the board asked whether I would take on the responsibility of risk along with my other responsibilities. So that's how it evolved, and that was pre-cleared with the regulator at that point. So we had an explicit discussion with the regulator.
