Team/Role Overview

As an organization, we set objectives, engage in business activities, and design and implement business processes. Risk is inherent in our business through the decisions we make. Risks are potential events which might have an impact on our ability to achieve those objectives, conduct our business activities safely, or execute processes effectively. Citi mitigates risk through the implementation of controls. Controls are important to Citi as they help to mitigate risks, comply with regulations, protect assets, and maintain the trust of customers and stakeholders. Citi uses the Risk and Control Self Assessment (RCSA) Program to identify, measure, monitor, control, and report Operational and Compliance risks. RCSA is the Citi-wide Program that enables the recording and management of Key Controls in accordance with the Control Standard. RCSA provides a well-controlled environment that builds trust, enables speed and scalability, and improves client experience as our business evolves.

Our roles entail ensuring we operate in a robust control environment, whilst in a fast-paced workplace. We comply with global regulations and internal policies and adopt a proactive approach to identifying opportunities to reduce risk through the continuous evaluation of our controls; to protect our clients, the firm, and our reputation.
