  • Ensure issue records meet minimum standards prior to escalation to 2LOD Effective Challenge

4. Risk & Control Alignment

  • Ensure issues are appropriately aligned to:
    • Enterprise Risk Taxonomy and Intermediate Risk categories
    • Control framework and identified control failures
  • Confirm that issue documentation clearly articulates:
    • Control deficiencies or breakdowns
    • Impact to risk exposure and control environment

5. Governance & Reporting Support

  • Support preparation of issue reporting outputs, including:
    • Issue status, aging, and severity trends
    • Overdue issues and remediation progress
  • Ensure issue data supports transparent and accurate reporting to governance forums and committees

6. Stakeholder Engagement

  • Partner with:
    • Issue Owners, Action Plan Managers, and Business Units
    • Risk and governance teams (e.g., 1LOD, 2LOD)
  • Provide guidance on issue management standards, expectations, and best practices
  • Escalate concerns where issues do not meet required standards or timelines

Qualifications & Experience

Required

  • 5+ years experience in risk management, internal audit, controls, or governance
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Issue Management frameworks and lifecycle
    • Risk, control, and governance principles
    • Three Lines of Defence model
