The 1st Line Risk & Control Deep Dive has now passed, but keep an eye out as we will be taking interest for the 1st Line Risk & Control Deep Dive 2025 very soon. 

Join our virtual event

Despite its existence it is hard to escape discussions around enhancing the 1st line risk and control function, with a particular focus on managing non-financial risks (NFR), and given the increasing pace and evolution of risks, we are at a crucial time in assessing the roles and responsibilities of the 1st line of defence and then listing off some of the challenges.

Throughout the 1st Line Risk & Control Deep Dive, we will focus on four key themes including:

  • Strategic Integration of NFR Management: financial institutions to shift from a governance and process-centric approach towards prioritising risk and outcomes in non-financial risk (NFR) management. How does re-evaluating current methodologies, particularly in risk and control self-assessments (RCSA), and exploring technological advancements enhance these processes?
  • Evolving Risk Culture and Responsibilities: Recent banking sector failures have highlighted not structural issues within the 1st line, but rather a broader issue with risk culture. What necessitates a gradual evolution of the 1st line to align with changing regulatory and business landscapes, and how does refining the structured approach to roles and responsibilities within the 1st line improve risk and control management?
  • Emphasis on Control over Governance: There's a growing recognition of the need to move away from a governance-heavy framework towards one that significantly emphasizes control. How does the subjective nature NFR evaluation, the unreliability of historical data, and the lengthy timelines associated with remediation programmes drive the shift in NFR management?
  • The Role of Technology and Automation: Technology and automation are deemed crucial in advancing the capabilities of the 1st line of defence. The adoption of unified automated Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) tools, which support continuous monitoring, testing, and auditing, is seen as essential. How are technological advancements key to managing non-financial risks with the same diligence as market and credit risks, and how can they lead to more efficient control cost management relative to risk?
