Banking Sector in Ireland: Bank of Ireland

Mr. Liam McLoughlin:
I am not aware there is a chief risk officer under legislation. There may be in the public sector but not in private sector companies I am aware of. As part of the management structure of the bank, there is a risk manager who reports up to the group CEO and, through the risk framework, to the board of the bank. There is also an independent internal audit function which is independent of the risk managers and the CEO who reports to the chair of the audit committee. They do a range of internal audit reviews on an ongoing basis. Those reports go back to the business element and also the group audit committee on a monthly basis. Therefore, there is a very extensive risk framework, at both second and third levels.
