Our ability to accomplish sustainable business growth, secure the company's assets, protect shareholder investments, ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and prevent significant surprises of risks is made possible by implementing effective and appropriate risk management systems and structures.

As Allcargo Group is a logistics company that provides integrated business solutions for national and international trade, warehousing, transportation, and handles different kinds of cargo, the company is exposed to inherent business risks. To identify, evaluate, monitor, control, manage, minimize, and mitigate these risks, the Board of Directors has formulated and implemented an Enterprise Risk Management Policy. The Enterprise Risk Management Policy is intended to ensure that an effective risk management framework is established and implemented within the Company.

Setting up a robust organisational structure for the implementation of risk management systems and structures

ensures that they are effectively governed. The roles and responsibilities defined for each group identified in the organisational structure are governed in the Enterprise Risk Management Policy, and the Risk Management, Finance, Strategy and Legal Committee oversees potential negative impacts from the risk management process. During the reporting period, the Risk Management, Finance, Strategy, and Legal Committee met four times to discuss and review the Company's risk management practices.

In order to ensure that we have a deep understanding of our risk landscape and are better positioned to mitigate and prevent the same, we work towards making risk management an integral part of the day-to-day operations of our businesses. All our employees are responsible for promoting sound risk management methods in their respective fields and are actively engaged in risk management within their own areas of responsibility.

We have in place a broad risk management framework which is formulated in line with the ISO 31000 Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines. The risks are identified, classified, and managed in a timely and accurate manner, and information about risks is escalated to all management levels so that informed decisions can be made. The below illustration depicts how the ISO 31000 are integrated into both our risk management framework and the process adopted to manage the identified risks.

Under the guidance of the Board, the Risk & Compliance Head facilitates dedicated risk workshops for each business vertical and key support function. In these workshops, risks are identified, assessed, analyzed, and accepted or mitigated to an acceptable level within the organization's risk appetite. The Risk Management Committee monitors the risk management activities of each business vertical and key support function. The Risk Management Committee also ensures that fraud risk assessment is an integral part of the overall risk assessment process.

The Board has laid down Internal Financial Controls and believes that the same are commensurate with the nature and size of its business. Based on the framework of internal financial controls, work performed by the internal, statutory, and external consultants, including audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting by the Statutory Auditors, and the reviews performed by the Management and the Audit Committee, the Board is of the opinion that the Company's internal financial controls were adequate and effective during FY2022-23 for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business including
