Note 27.8 Financial Risk Management
Risk Management is an integral part of the business practices of the Company. The framework of Risk Management
concentrates on formalising a system to deal with the most relevant risks, building on existing Management practices,
knowledge and structures. With the help of a reputed international consultancy firm, the Company has developed and
implemented a comprehensive Risk Management System to ensure that risks to the continued existence of the Company as a
going concern and to its growth are identified and remedied on a timely basis. While defining and developing the formalised
Risk Management System, leading standards and practices have been considered. The Risk Management System is relevant to
business reality, pragmatic and simple and involves the following:
i) Risk identification and definition: Focused on identifying relevant risks, creating | updating clear definitions to ensure
undisputed understanding along with details of the underlying root causes | contributing factors.
ii) Risk classification: Focused on understanding the various impacts of risks and the level of influence on its root causes. This
involves identifying various processes generating the root causes and a clear understanding of risk interrelationships.
iii) Risk assessment and prioritisation: Focused on determining risk priority and risk ownership for critical risks. This involves
assessment of the various impacts taking into consideration risk appetite and existing mitigation controls.
iv) Risk mitigation: Focused on addressing critical risks to restrict their impact(s) to an acceptable level (within the defined risk
appetite). This involves a clear definition of actions, responsibilities and milestones.
v) Risk reporting and monitoring: Focused on providing to the Board and the Audit Committee periodic information on risk
profile evolution and mitigation plans.
a) Management of liquidity risk

generated from operations. The Company believes that current cash and cash equivalents, tied up borrowing lines and cash
flow that is generated from operations is sufficient to meet requirements. Accordingly, liquidity risk is perceived to be low.
