independent non-executive directors with capital market expertise are appointed to the board. The
TSD board submits all approvals to the SEC directly and is independent of the SET board in this
respect. The TSD board reviews and approves the risk management
framework of the TSD on an
annual basis. The TSD Board should seek a set of documented guidelines for operationalizing the
recovery and orderly wind-down plan. These guidelines should also include measures to mitigate
general business and investment risk. The guidelines should be reviewed and endorsed by the TSD
Board. The governance arrangements could be improved by submitting the board's annual review of
its performance to the SEC. Such a measure would enable the regulator to monitor the performance
of the TSD board and ensure that it is adhering to the charter of the board and
is fulfilling its
mandate.
27. The risk management framework requires business departments of TSD to identify,
monitor, and manage their risks as outlined in the enterprise-wide risk management
framework of the SET. In addition to this bottom-up approach, the TSD board
decides on risk
management limits. The risk management framework is reviewed on an annual basis by the TSD
board and the risk management department (RMD) of the SET reports to it on a quarterly basis.
Internal audit of the SET assesses the implementation of the risk management framework and
reports to the TSD board. The risk management framework scope should be widened to include a
greater focus on recovery
and orderly wind-down plans, general business and investment risk. The
risk management framework explicitly mentions strategic, operational, and compliance risks and lays
down a set of measures to mitigate these. While there is a high-level recovery and
wind-down plan,
detailed effective recovery tools in line with the guidance provided by the standard setters (the
CPMI and IOSCO) should be adopted. A set of documented operational guidelines should be drawn
up including arrangements that ensure critical services continue to be provided, and that the
winding down is carried out in an orderly manner including
for instance, transferring critical
operations and services to an alternate entity. Such a plan should be endorsed by the TSD board,
including measures to mitigate general business and investment risk and
should be tested on a
periodical basis. The lack of such a plan is an issue of concern, given that TSD is
the sole CSD and
SSS in Thailand.
