• Assess incident and crisis management, including detection, escalation, invocation, command structures, regulatory notification, and post-incident learning.
• Evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal resilience governance policies, adherence to applicable resilience laws and regulations across jurisdictions, and the robustness of self-identification and self-assessment processes.
• Lead Internal Audit engagement on resilience-related regulatory examinations, thematic reviews, supervisory interactions and significant remediation programmes, providing independent challenge and assurance to senior management and regulators.
