Risk management involves identifying, measuring, monitoring and managing risks on a regular basis. To achieve this objective, the Company employs leading risk management practices and recruits experienced people.

The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.
The GRMC assists the Board in its oversight of various risks (i) Credit Risk, (ii) Market Risk, (iii) Interest Rate Risk, (iv) Liquidity Risk.
