  • Internal Control

    Our risk management and internal controls, including compliance with Our Code, and policies are assessed through a self-certification process. We also have a programme to assess the Group’s Entity Level Controls. The results of the annual process, together with the conclusions of the internal reviews by Internal Audit, enable the Audit and Risk Committee, on behalf of the Board, to form and report their view on effectiveness.
