In today's increasingly complex business environment, businesses face increasing risk. In order to effectively respond to these risks and ensure the sound operation of enterprises, the Guidelines for Comprehensive Risk Management of Enterprises issued by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) in 2006 put forward the establishment of three lines of defense for risk management.
The first line of defense: all relevant functional departments and business units
This line of defense is the first line of risk management and involves all functions and business units in the day-to-day operations of the organization. They need to have a deep understanding of their business processes, operational practices, and potential risks. To this end, companies should ensure that each department has clear risk management responsibilities and that risk management is integrated into their daily work. In addition, risk awareness training for employees is indispensable to ensure that every employee can identify and respond to possible risks.
The second line of defense: the risk management function and the risk management committee under the board of directors
This level of defense consists of a dedicated risk management function that is responsible for developing risk management strategies, monitoring risk indicators, and providing expert risk assessments. At the same time, the Risk Management Committee under the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the risk management of the entire enterprise, ensuring that the risk management strategy is consistent with the overall strategy of the company, and making decisions on material risks.
The third line of defense: the internal audit department and the audit committee under the board of directors
Internal audit departments are the last line of defense for enterprise risk management, and they are independent of other business units and are responsible for reviewing the internal controls and compliance of the enterprise. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the work of the Internal Audit Department, ensuring the independence and effectiveness of audit activities, and reporting the results of the audit to the Board.
To maintain these three lines of defense, companies should consider adopting an advanced compliance management system.
