Board of Directors

– Primary risk supervisor, exercising its role through various board committees

– Delegates day-to-day operations to management but remains accountable for ensuring operations are carried out in compliance with applicable laws and that they are consistent with safe and sound banking practices

End-to-end, forward-looking risk management framework

– In line with the Central Bank regulations with a view to eventual, advanced Basel III compliance

– Risks actively owned and managed by the respective business units supported by an integrated risk management hierarchy which utilizes, among other tools, a comprehensive risk register that records all extraordinary events (positive or negative) occurring across all departments in all subsidiaries

– The risk register is then coupled with a risk control self-assessment platform that enables area experts across the Group to offer forecasts of risk; to be reconciled statistically with subsequently registered events, by risk function analysts

– The combination of a historical register and forward-looking assessment system enables the risk function’s predictive analytics team offer strategic guidance to the business function heads that leverages both operations and experience: blending quantitative and qualitative elements

Predictive risk analytics

State of the Art Risk Management Framework

17

– Further driven by the identification of key risk drivers, considered in the formulation of quarterly and yearly forecasts as well as in the creation of stress tests

– Provisions/ capital compared against plausible forecasts and stressed scenarios to ensure adequate allocation of financial cushioning in any market condition

– Sensitivity of the Bank’s financial position outlines the Bank’s risk profile; risk limits assessed to ensure alignment with business objectives and market conditions

– The Bank continues to strengthen the risk management team by creating a more comprehensive structure that now comprises a globally experienced (Princeton University PhD) Chief Risk Officer and a Board Risk Management Committee that works with specialized units as well as the rest of the Senior Management team

Risk function’s compliance assurance docket

– Reviews compliance framework and specific compliance issues by all business units and supports and follows up on implementation of Internal Audit, External Audit and regulators’ recommendations; the compliance enforcement team works with businesses to close gaps identified through audit and business reviews

Internal audit department

– Plays a vital role in keeping the Board and senior management aware of risk and control issues while also assessing the effectiveness of risk management

– Objectively and independently evaluates the existing risk and internal control framework and analyses business processes and associated controls

Technology and business continuity

– Continued investment in building operational resilience by deploying a state of the art technology and migrating to a tier 4 data centre that will ensure high system availability, security and redundancy capability

Strong, Sustainable Margins Strong Net Interest Margin

• Strong Net Interest Margin of 13.6% in Q1 2012

– With deposit/ loan repricing, net Interest Margin is enhanced by Equity Bank’s low-cost, efficient funding base

• Low cost of interest bearing liabilities of 3.8% in Q1 2012 results from underlying business model of the bank:

– Large volume, small ticket savings & short term deposits resulting in a low cost, broad deposit base

– Ability to sustainably attract deposits supports strong NIM

• Enhanced strong interest earnings of 17.4% driven by ability to reprice loans favourably to deposits
