    RMD acts as an independent and neutral party in providing comprehensive and independent views of Bank-

    wide risk of the Bank.

    As a full-fledged investment bank, the Bank has established robust and comprehensive risk management

    policies and framework, supported by Group Risk Management Framework and Policies based on best

    practices, to ensure that the salient risk elements in the operations of the Bank are adequately managed and

    mitigated. The Banks framework for the management of financial risks is congruent with the primary

    corporate objective of creating and enhancing shareholders value, guided by a prudent and robust framework

    of risk management methodologies and policies.

    The Banks risk management policies and framework are reviewed periodically to ensure that they are

    comprehensive in addressing the multi-faceted risks associated with the investment banking sector.

    The Risk Management Department (RMD) is primarily responsible for the development and maintenance of

    the risk management policies and framework of the Bank and supports the functions of Assets and Liabilities

    Committee (ALCO), Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee ("CROC"), the Board Risk Management

    Committee (BRMC) and the Board Credit Review Committee ("BCRC") as well as Group committees of the

    Affin Banking Group.

    Appropriate risk governance structure is cascaded throughout all level of the Bank which comprise of Board of

    Directors ("Board"), relevant committees, business units and support units.

    The Board is ultimately responsible for assuming the risks inherent in the Bank's business activities and

    defining the policies for governing those activities. BRMC is responsible to support the Board in the oversight

    of the Bank's risk management.

    BRMC is authorised by the Board in overseeing all risk-taking activities in the Bank. Its key responsibilities

    involve reviewing and recommending risk management strategies, risk tolerance, new products, capital

    allocation process; and assessing the adequacy of risk management policies, framework, infrastructure and

    resources for implementation of risk strategies. For monitoring purpose, BRMC reviews periodic reports on risk

    exposures, risk portfolio composition and risk management activities. These reports, prepared by RMD which

    covers credit, market, liquidity and operational risks.

    At management level, CROC and ALCO assist the BRMC and Board in their supervisory roles in the

    management of credit, market, liquidity, and operational risks as well as assets and liabilities management of

    the Bank. These two committees provide an executive forum for discussion and decision on all aspects of

    credit, market, liquidity and operational risks; and assets and liabilities management matters.

    Risk Measurement

    Stress Testing

    Risk Reporting and Monitoring

    The risk measurement tools employed by the Bank are commonly used in market practices and commensurate

    with the size and complexity of the Banks business operations.

    The Bank has deployed stress testing in assessing the impact of stressed market conditions on its capital,

    profit, liquidity and asset quality in accordance with the Group Stress Test Framework and Methodology.

    Risk limits are reviewed on an annual basis or as and when required, to ensure their relevance with regards to

    the risk taking activities of the Bank and current banking regulations.

    Internal Audit acts as an independent party in performing an annual review of the Banks stress testing policy,

    procedures and processes including the stress scenarios used to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the

    programme.

    The stress testing methodology covers a range of risks and business areas and there are two types of stress

    testing currently in use:

    Sensitivity Analysis, which moves a single risk factor by a magnitude of shock. This method can be

    processed relatively quickly and can be used to form a first approximation and assessment of the impact.

    Scenario Analysis, which contains simultaneous moves in a number of market risk factors (e.g. equity

    prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates and etc.). A stress test scenario analysis can be based on

    historical scenario, hypothetical scenario, forward looking scenario and second round/spill-over effect.

    Scenario analysis can be performed on a portfolio-driven approach or event-driven approach.

    The stress testing is performed periodically in meeting both internal and regulatory external reporting

    requirements.

    The Banks risk appetite (i.e. risk tolerance) and business plans determine the amount of risk capital set aside

    (i.e. risk capacity) to support its operational and market activities as well as capital allocation to respective

    business units. This forms a basis in setting risk limits for business units.

    RMD is responsible for the monitoring and timely reporting of risk exposures against the established risk limits.

    Any breaches in risk limits are subject to the exception escalation procedures that aim to rectify any excesses

    within practical time and within the specified authority level. There is a formal process for risk reporting to the

    CEO, business units, relevant management/ board committee such as CROC, and BRMC as well as Group

    Risk Management of Affin Bank Berhad to facilitate the making of informed decisions and strategies. BRMC

    reviews and monitors any significant risk issues and reports to the Board.

    Stress testing results are periodically reported to ALCO and BRMC to enable them to consider the implications

    on the Banks overall business strategy, capital management, risk profile and to consider appropriate

    corrective measures when necessary.

    4 CREDIT RISK

    Risk Governance

    Credit Risk Identification and Measurement

    (a) Corporate Credit and Financing

    Credit evaluation is the process of analysing the creditworthiness of the prospective customer against the

    Banks underwriting criteria and the ability of the Bank to make a return commensurate to the level of risk

    undertaken. All corporate loans, underwritings and share margin financing applications above specified limits

    are evaluated by Credit Management Department (CMD) and forwarded to the relevant approving authorities

    based on the Credit Authority Framework approved by Board.

    The corporate credits and financing accounts are reviewed by the Business Units on periodic basis and

    independently commented by CMD to complement the risk identification, early warnings detection as well as in

    ensuring creditability and financial performance of the corporate where applicable to protect the Banks position

    in debt recovery. Remedial action is taken where evidence of deterioration exists.

    A critical element in the evaluation process is the assignment of a credit risk grade to the counterparty. This

    assists in the risk assessment and decision making process. The Bank adopts internal rating models to support

    the assessment and quantification of credit risk as guided by the internal Credit Risk Grading Model. A number

    of relevant risk factors such as competitive position, operating performance, cash flow strength and

    management strength are taken into consideration when identify and analyse counterparty credit risk.

    Credit risk refers to the potential risk of financial loss arising from defaults by counterparties in meeting their

    obligations. The Bank's exposure to credit risks arises primarily from share trading, share margin financing,

    corporate/inter-bank lending activities, bonds investment, foreign exchange trading, equity and debt

    underwriting as well as from participation in securities settlements and payment transactions.

    The management of credit risk is governed by a set of approved credit policies, guidelines, circulars and

    procedures to ensure that the overall lending objectives achieved are in compliance with the internal and

    regulatory requirements. The policies are subject to review by the BRMC, a sub-committee of the Board that

    reviews the adequacy of the Banks risk policies and framework.

    The Banks credit risk framework is further strengthened with an established credit authority framework for the

    approval of new, restructured and review of loans, bond investments, debt and equity underwriting proposals.

    The approving authorities are Chief Executive Officer, Underwriting Committee, Group Management Loan

    Committee (GMLC) and Board Credit Review Committee (BCRC).

    GMLC is established within senior management to approve complex and larger loans, bond investments, debt

    underwriting as well as workout/recovery proposals beyond the delegated authority of the concerned individual

    senior management personnel of Affin Hwang Investment Bank (AHIB). BCRC is established to assist the

    functions of the Board in respect of its inherent authority over the credit and underwriting proposals which are

    considered by the GMLC. BCRC reviews proposals that exceed specified limits and criteria, as well as to

    consider whether to reject the proposal or modify the terms of the proposal.

    Credit Risk Limit Control

    Risk Reporting and Monitoring

    The credit risk exposure for derivative and loan books is managed as part of the overall lending limits with

    customers together with potential exposure from market movements.

    Internal risk management reports are produced on a regular basis, providing information on credit related

    issues to CROC and BRMC for risk monitoring and appropriate level of management decision making.

    For stockbroking brokerage business, daily management and monitoring of credit risk associated with securities

    brokerage is undertaken by Credit Control team to ensure compliance with approved policies and procedures of

    the Bank and regulatory requirements.

    In addition, RMD reviews the overall stockbroking credit exposures and CMD assess/approve trading limit

    proposals that exceed specified limits. The assessment is based on clients and/or dealers representatives risk

    profiles, creditworthiness, past trading records and pledged collaterals.

    Credit risk exposures are mitigated via preventive risk management measures in limiting the exposure in

    accordance with the Bank's risk appetite as well as regular monitoring of credit exposures.

    The Bank establishes internal limits and related lending guidelines to manage large exposures and avoid undue

    concentration of credit risk in its credit portfolio. The limits include single counterpartys groupings, connected

    parties, broad property sector, geographical and industry segments. These risks are monitored regularly and

    the limits reviewed annually to best reflect the bank portfolio strategy and market environment.

    For share margin financing, all new margin applications as well as applications for additional facilities are

    subject to credit review by the Margin Operations. It will be forwarded to CMD for independent credit evaluation

    if the proposals exceed specified limits before recommending to the Approving Authorities. Credit risk

    exposures associated with share-margin trading are reviewed and monitored closely on daily basis by

    designated staff from Margin Operations, Credit Management and independently by RMD, who will review

    amongst others, credit limit utilization, exposure to single security or client/ group of counterparty and equity

    positions against collateral.

    PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES

    4.2 Past Due And Impaired Loans, Advances And Financing

    (i) Loans

    (ii) Share Margin Financing

    Loans are considered as past due once contractually agreed payments are due from the borrowers and not

    settled. Whilst impairment means the Bank considers it probable that it will suffer a loss on a financial asset as

    a result of issuers/borrowers inability to meet their commitments according to the contractual terms and the

    absence of any alternative means of repayment of recovery.

    Impaired exposures comprise of loans, advances and financing where individually identified impairment

    allowance has been provided. Impairment allowances are provisions in the Statement of Financial Position as a

    result of the charge against income statement for the incurred losses in loans, advances and financing. An

    impairment allowance can be individually or collectively assessed.

    The Bank will assess at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that loans, advances and

    financing are impaired. Regular reviews are also conducted to determine whether there is evidence of

    impairment on individual assessment. The Bank recognises impairment losses as follows:

    For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, loans are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk

    characteristics. Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such

    assets by being indicative of the debtors ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the

    assets being evaluated.

    If in the subsequent period, the amount of impairment decreases, which can be objectively related to an event

    occurring after the write down, the impairment loss is to be reversed and recognised in the income statement.

    The reversal should not result in the carrying amount of the loans, advances and financing exceeding the

    amortised cost at the date the impairment loss is reversed.

    For individual impairment assessment, impairment loss is measured as the difference between the assets

    carrying amount and its present values of estimated future cash flows discounted at the assets original

    effective interest rate. The amount of impairment loss shall be recognised in the income statement. For

    collateralised loans, the Bank will estimate future cash flows from the collateral or/and other sources of

    repayment.

    For individual impairment assessment, impairment loss is recognised when the equity ratio (collateral to

    outstanding amounts) of the margin account falls below the threshold set by the Bank. Impairment loss is

    measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount (net of collateral and interest-in-suspense)

    and its present values of estimated future cash flows discounted at the assets original effective interest

    rate. The amount of impairment loss shall be recognised in the income statement.

    Pursuant to Paragraph 13 of the Guideline on Classification and Impairment Provisions for Loans/Financing,

    Bank Negara Malaysia ('BNM') had issued a letter on 4 February 2014, which require banking institutions to

    maintain, in aggregate collective impairment provisions and regulatory reserves of no less than 1.2% of total

    outstanding loans/financing (excluding loans/financing with an explicit guarantee from the Federal Government

    of Malaysia), net of individual impairment provisions. Banking institutions are required to comply with the

    requirement by 31 December 2015.

    As at reporting date, the Group and the Bank have maintained the collective impairment provisions and

    regulatory reserves of no less than 1.2% in the books by transferring from retained profits to regulatory reserves

    (Group and Bank: RM3.57 million).

    The Bank uses ratings assigned by the following ECAIs:

    Standard & Poors Rating Services (S&P)

    Moodys Investors Service (Moodys)

    Fitch Ratings (Fitch)

    RAM Rating Services Berhad (RAM)

    Malaysian Rating Corporation Berhad (MARC)

    These ratings are used in the calculation of the following exposure classes:

    Sovereigns and Central Banks

    Banking Institutions

    Corporate

    Insurance Companies, Securities Firms and Fund Managers

    In the assessment of credit risk under the Standardised Approach, the Bank uses ratings assigned by

    recognised External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAIs) in determining risk weight for certain exposure

    classes.

    Each exposure class above must be assigned with rating if a rating issued by the recognised ECAIs is available

    in order to determine the risk weight percentage. If more than one rating is available for a specific counterparty,

    the selection criteria as set out under the Single and Multiple Assessment in BNM RWCAF are applied in

    determining relevant risk weight for the capital calculation. Exposures cannot be assigned with a risk weight

    that is lower than that of the sovereign risk of the country in which the asset is located. Where a rating is not

    available, the Bank follows the provisions stipulated under BNM RWCAF and deems the exposures as unrated.
