Risk Control Tester

13-04-2020

Imagine…

Imagine working in an energised environment within Group Risk Management, where you are testing Key Controls and are contributing to the quality of financial services to our clients.

 

Making a difference by:  

  • Executing independent control testing.
  • Performing data driven analytics.
  • Review on remediation action(s) related to key controls (such as control weaknesses, KRIs/KCIs, etc.).
  • Delivering test results towards First Line Business/Control Owners.
  • Providing an independent opinion on Control Effectiveness.

With each other

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. Active Risk Management is very important to mitigate risks. By performing good Risk Management, we are able to anticipate on possible risks, so that we can take effective control measures (controls) to mitigate these risks. These controls are also intended to improve efficiency and quality of processes. The controls to mitigate Key Risks are called Key Controls. These have to be tested by both 1st line and the 2nd line. It’s not only about effectiveness itself, but also whether they are sufficient described and implemented to mitigate that specific risk.

Our Second Line Control Testing team brings talented people together to perform the Second Line Control Testing. Our team is part of the Group Operational Risk Management department with a dedicated focus on Wholesale and Rural Banking. With you as a Risk Control Tester, the team will consist of 11 diverse colleagues in a variety of roles, including:

  • Second Line Testing Team
  • BCBS239 Independent Validation Unit

 

As a Risk Control Tester you will be participating in and taking responsibility for the development, roll-out and execution of integrated Second Line Control Testing within Wholesale and Rural as your main focus area, but you may also be asked to participate in other domains like CIOO, CLR, CFO, CHRO, CEO domains of Rabobank.

Carola Kwint, Risk Control Tester: “In my role I provide Second Line Testing. We test both on design and operating effectiveness within the timeframe of our annual planning. Besides that, we accommodate oversight with additional information from our Second Line Control Testing as input for the risk cycle. The colleagues in our team have different backgrounds, we are tight knit and always willing to make each other better with constructive discussions.”

You will execute and improve the Second Line Control Testing within Rabobank and be part of the global control testing community. You will analyse and evaluate business processes, risks and controls on their design and operating effectiveness and act upon the testing results together with the control owners in the First Line and your Oversight colleagues in the Second Line. In this function you will be also in contact with Audit (Third Line). You will report to the Global Head Second Line Control Testing Wholesale and Rural within Operational Risk.
