Principal risks and uncertainties Careful risk management Managed risk-taking is an important ingredient in our growth and success. We are, therefore, focused on comprehensively assessing risks and understanding which risks can be controlled and mitigated and which are outside of our control. Where we believe there is a sensible balance of reward against any potential risk, then we will proceed with specific business developments including new contracts and acquisitions. Systems and procedures are in place across the Group to identify, assess and mitigate major business risks that could impact the delivery of our growth strategy. Monitoring our exposure to risk is an integral part of the Management Operations Business ("MOB") Review process. The MOB process is supplemented across many of our businesses, including all the regulated financial services businesses, by formally constituted risk committees. A `Black Hat' process is additionally in place to discuss and seek Group Board approval regarding acquisitions and major bids. At Group level, risk management is independently facilitated and challenged by the Group Risk and Business Assurance function. In respect of financial services regulated businesses, there is also a Group Compliance function. Both of these control functions report to the Group Finance Director and independently to the Audit Committee. In addition, for regulated financial services, there is a Financial Services Governance Forum which assists with the Board's oversight of risk in this sector.
