The Risk Management and Compliance (R&C) function at Country Office level provides risk and compliance services to:
Facilitate the implementation of risk management mandatory activities and the use of R&C systems and tools in the CO
Enable the office’s management to identify and respond to high-risk issues, especially those arising from cross functional aspects like corruption, data protection or COTER/sanctions
Provide assurance to CO management on the effectiveness of internal controls prioritised by the CO to address high risks (CO specific key controls)
Train and raise awareness among CO staff on existing or new high-risk cross functional issues (e.g. Data Protection, COTER/Sanctions, Safeguarding, Anti-Corruption, SSD)
The R&C technical officer supports the R&C team and the R&C Manager in delivering the above-mentioned objectives, through planning and delivering assigned risk and compliance services for the CO management and staff.
