PJSC Mostotrest’s risk management policy ensures the timely detection of possible risks and focuses on risk reduction or mitigation to prevent or mitigate financial, material or business reputation losses.

The risk management process involves:
· Risk identification and assessment
· Elaboration of risk response measures and risk containment within admissible limits
· Continuous monitoring of risk factor dynamics
· Ensuring effectiveness of control measures and activities

The Board of Directors’ Audit Committee oversees the management’s performance with regard to its duty to control compliance with the adopted risk management rules and procedures. The Company’s Internal Control Service assists the Audit Committee in controlling and overseeing the system. The Internal Control Service carries out scheduled and random audits of risk management controls and procedures, and submits its reports to the Audit Committee.
