Overview
Todays Business world is a complex place where only the strong and well organized will survive.
A company must have robust systems of control alongside the procedures which gather the information which confirms that the company meets the international standards of corporate legislation , financial accounting standards and regulatory requirements at all times.
Together these controls are known as Corporate Governance and to meet the levels required Almaseer has installed,
- A robust team of technically competent employees who are constantly monitored and subject to ongoing training. (See Organogram)
- An independent international team of insurance, risk and compliance experts to audit the company. (See extracts of the annual survey questionnaire)
- We undertake a 3 stage approach to Risk Management, click here ‘Risk Management’ which will take you directly to an explanation of how this operates in practice

Governance Structure
We have adopted a “three lines of defence” governance framework. This details responsibility for risk management, risk control and risk assurance; and ensures segregation of duties between those who take on risk, those who control risk and those who provide assurance, the ‘Corporate Risk Management’ tab shows this in more detail. This governance design ensures independent oversight and scrutiny between each line of defence on risk management issues.
The specialist Risk & Compliance Function is positioned in the 2nd line of defence. As well as providing advice and support, the Risk & Compliance Function provides oversight, scrutiny and independent assurance that risk management policies and procedures are operating effectively and efficiently in accordance with the risk appetite set by our Board and meet the requirements of applicable laws, regulations, guidance and best practice statements.
