Risk awareness, identification and assessment, reporting, and active management are key elements in overall risk management. Controls include, among others, effective segregation of duties, access management, and authorization and reconciliation procedures, as well as staff education and a disciplined assessment process. We use a multi-faceted approach to risk governance. It begins with the Board of Directors, which has defined our risk appetite as aggregate moderate-to-low, through-the-cycle.

We classify/aggregate risk into seven risk pillars: credit, market; liquidity, operational, compliance, strategic, and reputation. More information on risk can be found in Item 1A Risk Factors below, the Risk Factors section included in Item 1A of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC. The MD&A included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with this MD&A, as this discussion provides only material updates to the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information contained in this report. Our definition, philosophy, and approach to risk management have not materially changed from the discussion presented in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
