Purpose of the procedure
The bodies responsible for monitoring the Company’s risks are:
The Risk Committee
The Committee’s mission is to identify the various risks facing the Company and to propose solutions to be adopted by the Company in the event of a risk occurring. Its role is therefore twofold: preventive and curative. The Committee also has a risk management role.
It is competent to deal with any question concerning risks: their identification, monitoring, and the actions taken or to be taken by the Company to avoid the occurrence of a risk. In the event of an update to the business or the creation of a new business, the Risk Committee must consider the risks arising from this new business or from changes in the business, and how to mitigate them. The Committee also updates the risk map and, if a risk is identified, the Committee is competent to define an action plan. It defines risk indicators and limits. Budgets for risk management are set by the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, following the expression of a need by the Committee, if any.
If procedures need to be adjusted due to the probable occurrence of a new risk, the Committee is competent to propose to modify / create procedures.
The Risk Controller
The Controller’s role is to independently audit and control risks within the Company.
Atlante Gestion also has a Risk Controller whose mission is the audit and the independent control of the risks within the Company. This mission is carried out by the legal manager – middle office as well as by the company PCI, delegated. The mission is carried out independently and continuously throughout the year. The Controller may address any issue relating to risk. Both the Controller and his delegate may ask questions at any time and question a transaction if it is likely to create a risk.
