ROLE OVERVIEW

The Asset & Wealth Management (AWM) Control Office is a group in the AWM Risk organization overseeing the division’s control capabilities and maintaining confidence with the regulators and our clients. The AWM Risk division is responsible for the execution of a risk governance framework, and for establishing appropriate risk management best practices holistically across our business, including identification, measurement, monitoring, escalation and remediation of applicable risks within AWM. This group comprises of three critical risk programs, including the (1) Control Program, (3) Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) and Resilience Program and the (3) Testing Program. Our primary objectives are to establish a best-in-class operating platform for risk data, insights, remediation and certification; ensure operational resilience by preventing, responding to, and adapting from significant disruptions that could impact our clients, partners or the firm; and strengthen the effectiveness of our risk and control environment, and identifying opportunities for control improvement through convergence and automation.

Third party risks are risks resulting from introducing external parties into the firm’s ecosystem, infrastructure or supply chain, as well as associated with the provision of service between the firm’s affiliates. Failure to manage third party risk may result in a range of impacts, including regulatory action, consumer or client harm, financial loss and/or reputational damage.
