Risk Management, Internal Control, and Internal Audit

During the year, FPC continued to develop and formalise its risk management, internal control, and internal audit as recommended by the Bank of Russia’s Corporate Governance Code.

Currently, all FPC’s units are involved in the risk management process within their scope of responsibility.

The key actors driving the risk management process in the Company are its Board of Directors, the Audit and Risk Committee, and the General Director.

The Company has stand-alone Risk Management and Internal Audit units.
