Risk Management forms an integral part of our business as the Company is exposed to various risks related to its business and operating environment. Tata Capital has built a robust risk management framework across all its businesses and activities for managing internal and external risks.
The key objectives of the risk management framework are to:

A comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") Framework and Policy has been adopted through which the internal and external risks arising out of macroeconomic factors, regulatory changes and geopolitical scenarios are monitored. The Company's ERM Framework and Policy uses defined Key Risk Indicators ("KRIs") based on quantitative and qualitative factors. A heat map, a two-dimensional quantitative data management tool has been implemented, which enables management to have a comprehensive view of 11 identified key risk areas based on their probability and impact. The 11 categories of risks identified and monitored by the Company are Credit Risk, Market Risk, Liquidity Risk, Process Risk, People Risk, Outsourcing Risk, Compliance and Governance Risk, Information Technology Risk, Business Continuity Risk, Cybersecurity Risk and Reputation Risk. These KRIs align with the strategic objectives and business developments.
A structured Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process ("ICAAP") is in place to enhance Board and Senior Management's ability to understand the existence of capital flexibility in line with the defined risk appetite. The ICAAP evaluates capital requirements under different stress scenarios.
Further, the Management has laid down internal financial control framework covering set of standards, processes and structure across the organization with reference to financial and non-financial controls to ensure that controls are adequate and are operating effectively. Testing is performed for each control confirming the adequacy and effectiveness of controls and highlighting material deficiencies or design ineffectiveness of controls, if any.
