Risk management framework

Bouwinvest has implemented a risk management framework based on the principles of The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). It is an Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF), covering all activities of the Fund at all levels. To ensure that its risk management framework is operational and effective, Bouwinvest has established an Accountability and Monitoring policy, consisting of the ‘Four lines of defence’. This policy puts risk management into practice by using Management (1st line), Risk-compliance-control (2nd line), Internal audit (3rd line) and External audit - Supervisory Board (4th line) as defence functions.
