Mumbai: IndusInd Bank has appointed the consultant KPMG to advise for developing risk management system. KPMG will conduct an enterprise-wide risk management exercise to help the bank select a state-of-the-art treasury software solution.

KPMG will advise the bank on developing and implementing an enterprise-wide risk management framework covering credit risk, market risk, operational risk and other systems. This initiative will also deal with the revamping of the banks existing asset liability management system and also transform its existing internal audit system into a risk-based audit mechanism. The risk management exercise will be done in three phases and will be completed in a year.

Post this exercise IndusInd Bank should be on the path to conform to Basle II guidelines for the adoption of international good practices in risk management.
