o Provide high quality and timely input to reports to meet internal and regulatory deadlines including for management and Board level Committees; participate in presentation at relevant management Committees as required. Further refine the reporting format linking to the firms ambitions on data and analytics.

· Work in a collaborative way with the business to understand, capture and assess new and changing risks (including emerging risks) to reflect the evolution of the firms Strategy and the changing internal and external risk and control environment.

· Work collaboratively with Internal Audit and Compliance to embed the risk culture including provision of coordinated assurance around:

o The risk framework and key risks to the business, including through potential deep dive reviews of key risk areas.
