Why ERM Meet Legal Requirements Letter of the Law Spirit of the Law • High profile corporate scandals in USA (Enron, Worldcom etc. ) followed by encouragement from SEC & NYSE to adopt Risk Management activities. • In India Clause 49 of the listing agreement stipulates Risk Management as mandatory compliance requirement. • Financial analysts and rating agencies are increasingly interested in a company’s ERM capability. – Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have ERM listed as one of their evaluation criteria – Even Indian Rating Agencies – CRISIL , ICRA , CARE consider quality of Corporate Governance and Risk Management while assigning their ratings to companies 6 © 2010 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India Private Limited

Why ERM contd. . • When a corporate catastrophe occurs, questions quickly arise as to whether the board was complacent in its oversight responsibilities. Perceived complacency can be costly: in case of Satyam the role of independent directors were questioned • S & P announced on Month X, 2008 that an analysis of ERM capability will be a factor in determining a company’s overall credit rating. Evaluations will be conducted as an integral part of their normal credit review process. Discussions with company managers will focus on the following major areas of ERM capability: • Risk-management culture and governance • Risk Controls • Emerging Risk Preparation • Strategic risk management • Maintaining and improving credit ratings will help reduce cost of capital and support greater flexibility in managing debt • Board directors are already demanding increased risk information - this issue will drive even higher expectations • Shareholders and other stakeholders expect management to take more effective steps to minimize the frequency and severity of losses and missed earnings projections • Now more than ever, directors are expected to exercise due diligence and care. Directors are understandably concerned about personal liability and reputation at risk. But without better risk intelligence that comes from an effective enterprise risk management (ERM) approach, it will be difficult for the board to meet stakeholder expectations. 7 © 2010 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India Private Limited

ERM – Key Challenges contd. . Key questions for Board to ask • What is the company’s policy and process for managing risks on an integrated, enterprise-wide basis? • What are the company’s key risks and vulnerabilities, and what are the plans to address them? • Who has the authority to take risk on behalf of the company? Some of the common ERM challenges are: Strategy • Unclear risk strategy and philosophy • Lack of actionable details and support from top management towards implementation of the risk strategy • Lack of transparency and understanding of risk issues at Board and Executive levels 11 Execution Behavior • Lack of consistent practices and critical success factors across organization • Ineffective change management and communication to manage organizational resistance to new ERM practices • Unclear definition of the roles and responsibilities of the riskrelated functions and risk owners • Risk related activities positioned as redundant except ones required for compliance • Business units treating risk management as interference of the management into their functioning • Decision-making driven by earnings rather than riskadjusted results © 2010 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India Private Limited
