Unraveling the Myths & Mysteries of ERM and Global Credit Risk Management June 20, 2012 Presented by: Robin D. Hoag, CPA, CGMA, CMC Director, Financial Institutions Group
Overview Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Background Regulatory Environment Components of ERM Suggestions for ERM Implementation Benefits of ERM Barriers to ERM Upcoming Changes to COSO s Framework Myths/Mysteries Answered DM 2012 2
ERM BACKGROUND DM 2012 3
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) Major objective: identify factors causing fraudulent financial reporting and make recommendations to reduce incidences Issued Internal Control Integrated Framework report in 1994 DM 2012 4
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) Joint initiative Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) American Accounting Association (AAA) American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Financial Executives International (FEI) Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) Provides guidance on ERM, internal control and fraud deterrence DM 2012 5
Committee of Sponsoring 1992 Organizations (COSO) Establishes common definition of internal control Creates framework for evaluating the effectiveness of internal control 2004: framework expands to create ERM; sometimes referred as COSO II February 2009: releases Guidance on Monitoring Internal Control Systems Provides assistance in setting up real-time intelligence for consistency and change management (more proactive vs. reactive) DM 2012 6
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) October 2009: Recommends improved board risk oversight Issues new thought paper Indicates challenge during this economic crisis January 2011 Issues two additional thought papers on ERM implementation DM 2012 7
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) December 2011: draft update on Internal Control Framework published Due to business and operating environments dramatic change in 20 years Should enable more effective application in practice Release postponed to 1Q 2013 (see appendix for detail of expected changes) DM 2012 8
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) January/March 2012: Additional thought papers Enhancing board oversight Understanding and communicating risk appetite DM 2012 9
Definition of ERM As defined by COSO: A process, effected by an entity s board of directors, management and other personnel, applied in strategy setting and across the enterprise, designed to identify potential events that may affect the entity, and manage risk to be within its risk appetite, and to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of the entity s objectives. DM 2012 10
Elements of ERM Aligning risk appetite with organizational strategies Enhancing rigor of riskresponse decision Reducing frequency and severity of operational surprises and losses DM 2012 11
Elements of ERM Identifying and managing multiple and crossenterprise risks (across silos) Proactively seizing on opportunities presented along with threats Improving effectiveness of capital deployment DM 2012 12
Key Players Board has overall responsibility for ensuring risks are managed Management is responsible for ERM execution Identifying risks and managing them ERM requires everyone in an organization to participate to ensure success DM 2012 13
Regulatory Environment Currently no specific regulation exists requiring ERM; however: FFIEC Information Security Booklet indicates IS risk assessments consider potential risk in all business lines and risk categories GLBA [Section 501(b)] establishes requirement for financial institutions to safeguard privacy of customer financial information Many references by Federal Reserve, FDIC, NCUA and state examiners in recent exams Focus on board s fiduciary responsibilities for general direction and control of the financial institution DM 2012 14
Regulatory Environment 2009: Securities and Exchange Commission Requirements for proxy disclosure on board s overall risk oversight 2010: Federal Financial Reform legislation Mandates risk committees for boards of institutions and other entities overseen by the Federal Reserve 2010: Recent rule for corporate credit unions Requires establishment of risk management committee DM 2012 15
Regulatory Environment January 2012: Supervisory focus Credit risk/responsible lending Interest rate risk and liquidity Concentration risk May 2012: Interest rate risk and policy requirements issued Focus on compliance Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Unfair and Deception Practices (UDAP) for overdraft and lending DM 2012 16
ERM COMPONENTS DM 2012 17
COSO Cube Objectives focus on: Strategy Operations Reporting Compliance Distinct but overlapping categories DM 2012 18
As outlined in COSO s 2004 Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Framework DM 2012 19
Internal Environment Encompasses entity s tone or risk culture Sets basis for how risk is viewed: top level support Strong ERM leader/team Knowledge: risks / industry / regulation Credibility / acceptance across organization Understands core strategies Good relationship with board / senior management DM 2012 20
Internal Environment Establish Risk Committee (suggestion) Representation from key departments Board liaison Assistance in acceptance and understanding Not always necessary DM 2012 21
Objective Setting Must exist before management can identify potential events affecting its achievement ERM ensures management has a process in place to set objectives ERM ensures objectives are in line with entity s mission and consistent with its risk appetite DM 2012 22
Objective Setting Definitions: Risk Appetite: amount of risk on a broad level an entity is willing to accept in pursuit of value Use of quantitative or qualitative terms Risk Tolerance: range of acceptable variation DM 2012 23
Event Identification Internal and external events can affect achievement of objectives Events must be identified and distinguished between risk and opportunities Understanding of the difference between key performance indicators (KPI) and key risk indicators (KRI) DM 2012 24
Event Identification KPI Performance metrics in place Department Overall entity Almost exclusively on historical performance Untimely warning indicators KRI Metrics that early on identify increasing risk exposure Can be simple (key ratio) or elaborate model DM 2012 25
Event Identification Objective: Manage loan portfolio losses to a minimum KPI examples Charge-off ratio for June 30, 2012 Delinquency ratio for June 30, 2012 KRI examples Unemployment data Property value trends Financial concentration trends of commercial borrowers Financial trends of community employer Loan Officer experience levels concentration Combinations of items DM 2012 26
Event Identification Opportunities/risks are channeled back to management's strategy or objective setting Linkage to core strategy Assists in identification of type of information necessary to timely alert of emerging risk DM 2012 27
Risk Assessment Risks should be analyzed considering likelihood and impact Analysis should be basis for determining how risk should be managed Risks should be analyzed on an inherent and residual basis Linkage of top risks to core strategies DM 2012 28
Risk Assessment Regulators have recommended utilization of a stress testing framework within ERM Forward looking Ultimate steps of cause and effect Traditional risk management usually focuses on one step in the process DM 2012 29
Risk Assessment Stress test example Step 1: Asset shrinkage will improve net worth ratio Step 2: Decline likely will impact earnings Step 3: Asset decline could effect liquidity Step 4: Negative earnings and reduced liquidity could impact net worth and CAMEL rating DM 2012 30
Risk Response Management should determine how to respond to risk Develop action plans to align risks with risk tolerances and appetite DM 2012 31
Control Activities Establish and implement policies and procedures Should help ensure risk responses are effectively carried out Effective controls for managing critical risks DM 2012 32
Information & Communication Relevant information should be identified, captured, measured and communicated Risks within acceptable limits, right level of information reported? Appropriate individuals informed? Should be in a form and timeframe enabling people to carry out their responsibilities DM 2012 33
Monitoring Entirety of ERM should be monitored and modified as necessary Accomplished through ongoing management activities and separate evaluations Use of dashboard reporting Visual displays with trigger points Consistency linkage to overall objectives Risks that should be stress tested frequency determined DM 2012 34
Effectiveness Risk is within the entity s risk appetite Directors and management have reasonable assurance they understand: Strategic objectives are being achieved Opportunities are being identified Reporting is reliable Applicable laws and regulations are complied with DM 2012 35
Effectiveness No material weaknesses in control Components don t function the same for all entities Potentially less formal in smaller organizations Limitations Cannot have absolute assurance due to human judgment (can be faulty) and controls (could be circumvented) DM 2012 36

ERM IMPLEMENTATION DM 2012 57
Five Steps For Implementing A Successful ERM Strategy 1. Select the appropriate team 2. Understand your institution 3. Documentation and analysis of processes and control techniques 4. Identify and monitor key risk indicators(kri) 5. Test controls and report test results DM 2012 58
1. Select the Appropriate Team Leader - specific skill sets Possible representation of significant business units include Lending Operations (branch/deposits) Finance Marketing IT Compliance/Audit Start in increments and build on each accomplishment DM 2012 59
2. Understand Your Institution Perform risk assessment to identify key processes, risks, and controls for Operations Compliance Financial reporting Identify key process owners DM 2012 60
2. Understand Your Institution Inventory/build on existing systems in place Quantify severity/frequency/probability Measure consistently DM 2012 61
3. Documentation & analysis of processes & control techniques Interview process owners Consistent documentation of the process Identify risks and related controls Analyze risk management techniques and take inventory Measurement of risks Benchmarks Metrics Consistency/defined DM 2012 62
3. Documentation & analysis of processes & control techniques Perform process and control reviews Identify control deficiencies Fill in gaps Remediate deficiencies Risk control strategies DM 2012 63

FINANCIAL SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
APPROACH SCENARIO PLANNING Routinely perform portfolio-level scenario and sensitivity tests (with your ALM/IRR management) to quantify the impact of changing economic conditions on asset quality, earnings and net worth. An example could be for concentration in Real Estate loans would be the risk to earnings if unemployment in the area doubled while housing market values declined by 20%. DM 2012 70 #

ERM BENEFITS DM 2012 73
Benefits of ERM Helps entity manage risks to protect and enhance value by: Focusing on establishing sustainable competitive advantage Optimizes cost of managing risk Helps management improve business performance Helps management to effectively deal with uncertainty and associated risk and opportunity DM 2012 74
Benefits of ERM As a result, institutions are more likely to: Identify and correct internal control problems on a more timely basis Produce more accurate and reliable information for use in decision-making Prepare accurate and timely financial statements Be in position to provide periodic certifications or assertions on the effectiveness of internal control DM 2012 75
BARRIERS TO ERM DM 2012 76
Barriers Industry observations: Lack of Board/Senior management support Lack of appropriate resources to champion the project Not taking it slow Lack of a consistent definition of risk measurement/approach DM 2012 77
MYTHS AND MYSTERIES ANSWERED DM 2012 78
I need to implement ERM in its entirety at the start of the project. No; it is more beneficial to start slow and focused (one or two business functions/units) in order to finetune the process and not get overwhelmed. I need a department or Chief Risk Officer on staff to implement ERM. No; organizations have been able to utilize current staff and committees, as long as they possess the appropriate skill sets as noted previously. DM 2012 79
I need to have a system model to implement ERM. No; Models could be useful; however, as long as risk measurement and documentation format is consistent and defined, it is not mandatory. My current risk monitoring is appropriate and constitutes ERM. These monitoring functions are essential and a good base; however, traditionally they haven t been focused on the whole organization s objectives and are not woven into the company s culture/process/capital/objectives. DM 2012 80
Once a credit union implements ERM, it does not have to change. No; ERM is constantly evolving and modifying to the current environment and strategies of the organization. DM 2012 81
