If you are still interested in setting up a Risk Committee, I would be glad to speak with you.  I have been a Senior Risk Office for the Financial Services industry for over 30 years. You can reach me at agoldberger9@gmail.com.

Thank you.

Hi Vincent: I'd be happy to discuss this topic with you as I previously worked at a large Southeastern bank and during my time there I helped develop and build out two risk committees: one risk committee was in the wholesale bank and one was for regulatory reporting. I'm in Atlanta and looks like you're in Houston so If you want to discuss via phone please feel free to email me at rogercolden@comcast.net or text me at the number below so we can set up a time to talk further.

 Here's a high level outline of key components of a risk committee: to consider:

1) Purpose/scope e.g. is it an approval and decision making body or is it for information sharing, advisorypurposes

2) Meeting frequency - e.g. weekly, monthly, quarterly, ad hoc/as needed, both, who schedules and organizes the meetings

2) Membership - voting and non-voting

3) Members Roles & Responsibilities - what is the role of each member

4) Documentation e.g agenda, attendance, minutes, presentation materials, who is meeting organizer, how far in davnce are meeting materials distributed

5) Decision Making: quorum, approval authorities and voting delegation rights, escalation processif approval needed outside of committee authority-when and to whom,

6) Issues:  identification, issue owners, deliverables. due dates, monitoring, on-going reporting to committee, resolution

7) Stakeholder Communication: reporting and communication to other stakeholders outside of the committee, e.g executive management, internal auditors, outside regulators, other committees, project teams and working groups

Please feel free to call me as I believe that based on being an investment type firm you will need to establish some risk analysis for review by the committee.

Happy to share my guidance as a fellow member of FENG.

Are you looking for a service provider or a framework that exists within a member's company? Since a risk framework may vary from company to company, I suggest finding a partner that could perform an initial assessment. If you are interested, I do know of a firm that can provide that service. Feel free to send me an email if you want their contact info.
