Business Risk and Controls

The Business Risk and Control (BRC) organization’s mission is to balance risk and reward by effectively collaborating with and supporting lines of business to proactively identify, measure and manage risk, in a dynamic business and regulatory environment. One area within the BRC, the BRC Business Process Risk Identification (BPRI) team facilitates execution of an enterprise operational risk program focusing on enhancing visibility of end-to-end processes, enabling sustainable risk and control assessment processes, and identifying potential areas for enhancement. Another area within the BRC is the Centralized Testing Team (CTT). The CTT is primarily responsible for the completion of Risk and Controls Assessment (RCSA) testing with various lines of business across the organization. Team members are responsible for first line of defense risk management support for assigned line(s) of business, including the identification, measurement, and management of risk, and the development and implementation of sustainable controls.
