GOVERNANCE

The specialised Committees of the Board of directors (see part 2.1.2, Corporate governance of BNP Paribas of chapter 2 Corporate governance and internal control), which examine the risks taken and the risk policies on a Group scale, are:

■ the Internal Control, Risk Management and Compliance Committee (CCIRC);

■ the Joint Committee that combines the CCIRC and the Financial Statements Committee.

In line with the Group s Risk Appetite Statement, Executive Management gives the broad direction for the major guidelines based on the three key dimensions risk, capital and liquidity through the following bodies:

■ Risk Forum: examines all risk topics considered as important and identifies those requiring additional analyses or risk decisions by the appropriate committees;

■ Capital Committee: described under Capital management in section 5.2, validates the Group s objectives in terms of solvency

ratios and Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) requirements as well as the trajectory to achieve these targets, monitors the compliance with this trajectory and, when relevant, proposes corrective actions. As the Group s competent Executive Management authority for all issues related to the internal credit and operational model, the Capital Committee is informed of decisions made in the MARCo Committees (Model Approval and Review Committee);

■ Group ALM Treasury Committee (Group ALCo): responsible for the management of the liquidity risk, interest rate risk in the banking book and structural foreign exchange risk over the whole Group.

Moreover, the Group Supervision and Control Committee (GSCC) brings together the Group s control functions at Executive Management level and takes a Group-wide approach to tackling all aspects of risk exposure.

The following figure shows the main governance bodies at Group level for risk management.
