HC-1.2.2

The Board is ultimately accountable and responsible for the affairs and performance of the bank. The Board must establish the objectives of the bank and develop the strategies that direct the ongoing activities of the bank to achieve these objectives. The strategies should be communicated throughout the bank, and be disclosed publicly (e.g. via the website or in the annual report in an abbreviated form as applicable). In its strategy document, the Board must demonstrate that it is able to proactively identify and understand the significant risks that the bank faces in achieving its business objectives through its business strategies and plans.
