Produce clear, decision-useful fund risk reporting and dashboards for the DP, senior management, governance committees, and the Board, including commentary on trends, limit utilisation, and escalation items
Coordinate breach management and remediation with delegates and service providers; track actions to closure and identify recurring themes indicating control weaknesses
