Concerns raised by industry experts at the Enterprise Risk Management Summit (ERM) organized by National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM) and Institute of Risk Management (IRM) India Affiliate
Risks identified are in line with IRM’s Risk Predictions 2021 report
Mumbai, 14 October 2022: Climate change, cybersecurity, geopolitics-driven inflation and ESG emerged as key business risks, identified by Chief Risk Officers (CROs) in a poll conducted during the first ERM Summit, organized by the NISM (an educational initiative of Securities and Exchange Board of India) and Institute of Risk Management (IRM), India Affiliate, the world’s leading professional body for ERM examinations. The concerns raised by the attending CROs are in line with the IRM’s Risk Predictions 2021 report.
Various regulatory bodies in India have also recognized the criticality of these risks and the need to proactively manage them with risk experts and committees. In November 2021, SEBI amended the Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR), which already mandated the constitution of a Risk Management Committee (RMC), to include the top 1000 listed entities by market capitalization. SEBI has also mandated a Risk Management Framework (RMF) for all Mutual Funds and Asset Management Companies, along with requiring the appointment of a CRO. Additionally, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) also requires banks, as well as Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) with assets over INR 5,000 crores, to appoint a CRO to institute and oversee risk management. Similarly, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) mandates all insurers to have an RMC in place, under the supervision of a CRO.
The Enterprise Risk Management Summit, was organized exclusively for Chief Risk Officers, risk management committee members, and independent directors, and was attended by business and risk leaders from a variety of sectors, including pharmaceuticals, technology, real estate, retail, banking, and finance.
