A key factor in determining a Companys capacity to create sustainable value is the risks that the Company is willing to take at the strategic and operational levels and its ability to manage them effectively.
Many risks exist in a companys operating environment and they emerge on a regular basis. The Companys Risk Management processes focus on ensuring that these risks are identified on a timely basis and addressed. In our company, audit committee has an additional oversight in the area of financial risks and its controls. The management of the Company from time to time is identifying other major operational risks.
However, constitution of Risk Management Committee is not applicable as it is applicable to top 1000 listed companies only.
