the board, internal audit, external audit, the risk committee, the corporate governance committee,
the central risk function, employees and third party contractors in implementing risk management. A
policy statement defines a general commitment, direction or intention. A policy on risk management
expresses an organisation’s commitment to risk management and clarifies its general direction or
intention.
