NAMA advises that it operates a number of safeguards to ensure that staff are equipped to successfully carry out their function on behalf of taxpayers. These safeguards include a rigorous appointments process, which deals fully with any actual or potential conflicts of interest, induction and on-going compliance training, and regular compliance updates. Other safeguards include the NAMA Credit Committee which is in place to approve credit decisions on amounts that exceed credit approval authority delegated to the NAMA CEO. All delegated authority decisions below NAMA Credit Committee are undertaken on a dual sign-off basis, and the appointment of at least two case managers to each individual debtor connection.
