Risk Management
Risk taking is a core component of the business of VTB Group and, therefore, risk management is a core control function.
The principal risks facing our business are:
- credit risk,
- liquidity risk,
- market risk,
- operational risk.
Risk management at the Group level includes risk evaluation and monitoring, control over the size and distribution of risks, and the identification of efficient methods to optimise the balance between the risks and benefits of operations.
The main risk management principles that we have adopted are:
- The analysis and management of our financial risks on a consolidated basis, covering all the Group’s Russian and international subsidiary banks and key financial and
non-financial companies; - The delineation of Group members’ levels of competency, and the clear allocation of responsibilities among collective bodies and individual officers/managers in the decision‐making process;
- The independence of risk assessment and control functions from business and operational banking functions;
- The application of state‐of‐the‐art risk assessment methods and models;
- A rigorous reporting system at each level of management.
The standard organizational structures of the Head Bank (OJSC VTB Bank) and its each subsidiary bank include a Chief Risk Officer and Risk division responsible for risk management in the bank. In the subsidiary financial companies whose activity implies assumption of financial risks (such as OJSC VTB Leasing, VTB Factoring Ltd) the general principles of risk management organization are the same as in the subsidiary banks.
