The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) has issued “Key Principles of Governance in Financial Institutions”, which contains seven primary principles that are in accordance with best practices recognized internationally. The Members of the Board of Directors and senior management of the Bank are required to apply these principles in addition to understanding the related risks within the Bank’s operating environment. The Bank also abides by the rules and regulations issued by the Capital Market Authority (CMA) that are designed to reinforce transparency and disclosure standards to safeguard investors and their decisions. The governance activities extend to complying with the requirements of Saudi Tadawul (Saudi Stock Exchange) in the listing of the Bank in the securities market in the country.
These governance principles are intended to assist the Bank in enhancing our corporate governance framework, and to help Board Members and senior managers to oversee the Bank’s activities. Corporate governance is a key element in improving economic efficiency and growth as well as in enhancing investor confidence. The governance framework is implemented through six (6) Board Committees.
The Bank has designed comprehensive disclosure policies and regulations that require all stakeholders to have unfettered access to material information and developments.

The Bank’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate and effective system of internal controls for implementing and assuring the strength and adequacy of strategies and policies that are approved by the Board of Directors.
Internal controls are defined on the materiality of financial and other risk factors taking into account the impact and the frequency of occurrence. They are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and, as such, provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material mis-statement and loss. In addition, the Audit Committee periodically reviews the reports submitted by the internal/external auditors. Such reports also include the evaluation of the effectiveness or otherwise of the internal controls. During the annual review of internal control procedures for 2022, there were no material observations by the Audit Committee in respect to the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control system and procedures, reaffirming the sound and effective system of internal controls in force at Alinma Bank.

Information on any Risks facing the Bank and the policy of managing and monitoring these Risks
During normal course of business, the Bank is exposed to various risks. Systems and procedures are in place in Alinma to identify, control and report the major risks that could be encountered by the Bank. The major risk types that might be encountered by the Bank are as follows:
a. Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may fail to meet its obligations towards the Bank and, therefore, could result in a financial loss for the Bank, making it the major risk faced by the Bank. Alinma actively manages its credit risk exposure through the establishment of Credit risk policies and procedures which provide guidance on target market, risk acceptance criteria, minimum disclosure from customers, review and approval process, and concentration limits in addition to day-to-day account management. To ensure the integrity of the credit check, the Bank formed an independent risk management group whose task is to implement and follow up the credit risk policy, credit operations and related documents after approval. Additionally, the Group is responsible for following up any credit problems that may arise in customer finances.
b. Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market variables such as equity prices, profit rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices. The Bank has a Market Risk Management team under the Risk Management Group that regularly monitors market risks, including liquidity risk of the Bank.
c. Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. Liquidity risk can be caused by market disruptions or credit downgrades, which may cause certain sources of funding to dry up immediately. To mitigate this risk, the Bank’s management has diversified funding sources, and assets are managed with liquidity taken into consideration, maintaining an adequate balance of cash and cash equivalents. Exposure to the above-mentioned risks is monitored by the Board of Directors and other management committees. The Board of Directors has also constituted a Risk Committee to assist it in overseeing the enterprise risk management process and to discharge related responsibilities.
