Why Risk Management Is Essential Under MAS Regulations
MAS places strong emphasis on effective risk governance as a foundation for financial stability and institutional resilience. Having a robust risk management framework is not just a regulatory requirement — it’s a critical tool for safeguarding your business from financial, operational, reputational, and compliance risks.
MAS guidelines (such as those under the Guidelines on Risk Management Practices, Technology Risk Management, and AML/CFT) require financial institutions to:
Identify, assess, and manage key business risks
Establish clear policies, escalation protocols, and internal controls
Maintain oversight from senior management and board-level committees
Align risk practices with the nature, scale, and complexity of the business
Conduct regular reviews and updates of the risk framework
Failure to meet these standards can result in licensing delays, compliance findings, or regulatory sanctions.
