ABOUT THE PROJECT

Our client, as a credit institution and an investment firm, is subject to the requirements of the French Order of 3 November 2014, modified the 25 February 2021, related to internal control of banking sector companies, payment services and investment services, under the supervision of the ACPR (Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution), and the European regulation that requires that the second lines of defense carry out independent reviews on all the risks held by HBCE, including medium and low
risks, following a risk-based approach aiming to implement a permanent control framework applying a control frequency
depending on the level of the Inherent Risk rating. The Risk and Compliance Testing team within the Second Line of
Defense (2LoD) is responsible for testing of the permanent control activity of our client’s company and having a cross-
sectional view of the entity’s risks. The role supports the Global Businesses and Global Functions across HBCE in meeting their 2LoD obligations, related to reviewing and testing of controls which mitigate Low, Medium and Locally Significant Risks to ensure the required level of oversight is in place.
