• Supporting independent monitoring and reporting on risk versus appetite to Executive and Board Committees.
• Developing and enhancing reporting templates and processes for domain‑level and risk‑type‑level reporting.
• Defining target‑state reporting cadence, audiences and artefacts, and assisting with standing up the operational infrastructure to deliver these.
• Identifying investment‑related standards requiring updates to reflect Line 2’s revised role and coordinating updates through a structured work plan.
