- Assist in the development of the Risk Strategy and monitor its implementation.
- Assist in the development, maintenance, and implementation of the group-level standards, such as the risk governance standards, risk appetite framework, and internal control framework.
- Assist in the development of the risk assessment and risk appetite statement at the group level, monitor the utilisation of the risk limits of the risk appetite statement, and prepare quarterly reports to the top management.
- Monitor the evolvement of risk-related regulations and guidelines (EBA, MNB, etc.) and assist in their implementation.
- Monitor the execution of the action plans in respect of high priority risk-related audit findings both in Hungary and in the subsidiaries.
