ARTICLE Aligning Executive Pay with Risk Management Recent director surveys indicate bank directors find current legislative and regulatory
actions unwarranted, and that existing plans do not encourage imprudent behavior or
excessive risk. These opinions are diametrically opposed to global public perceptions
that a serious problem exists with bank pay practices, and that substantial regulation is
required.With governments racing to shape policy around public perceptions, bank
directors will soon be left scrambling to retain talent if they do not use this current turmoil
as an opportunity for proactive re-evaluation of the entire bank executive pay process.
ARTICLE Internal Audit: Boosting Your ROI
The internal audit department within a bank is uniquely qualified to monitor the
institution’s compliance with the board’s objectives and test the effectiveness of
internal controls. Accordingly, a high-performance audit function can help the bank
and board achieve its risk-adjusted goals, while an underperforming audit function
can undermine the confidence of both regulators and external auditors, resulting in
greater scrutiny and the potential for higher external audit fees. THOUGHT LEADERSHIP 2009 Boardroom Liabilities Boardroom risk continues to grow, as does the onus on directors to
