Work environment

The Regulatory Risk & Transformation (RR&T) is a recently established department which forms an important role in executing the mandate of the Regulatory Committee. RR&T is organized in four teams which in practice will closely work together: a) Regulatory Supervisory Relations; b) Regulatory Change Management; c) Regulatory Findings Management; and d) Regulatory Risk Oversight.

The team of Regulatory Supervisory Relations (RSR) in the new set-up is responsible for managing and enhancing the bank's strategic relationship and dialogue with key supervisory authorities, like the ECB, DNB and the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets, and for the reporting on Wet op het financieel toezicht (Wft) related incidents to supervisory authorities. The team plays a critical role in shaping and steering the long term strategic dialogue with supervisory authorities and provides independent advice to senior management, the Executive Board (ExBo) and the Supervisory Board (SB) in this respect. RSR also has a coordination and oversight role when it comes to the quality of the written interaction with the supervisor, to support and enhance the ways the bank complies with supervisory expectations and ensures consistent and effective communication with supervisors across the bank, including the subsidiaries and countries.
