Department Overview

As an independent team within the Risk Management group, Operational Resilience works with business units and corporate partners to ensure ongoing management of operational risks across TD Bank Group. TDBG applies the “Three Lines of Defense” model to risk management. Risks are owned and managed by the first line, which is responsible to develop, operate, and monitor sufficient controls. Risk Managers (and other governance roles) form the second line. The second line is independent of the business; it provides policies, standards and methodologies, and has the accountability and authority to assess and challenge the first line to ensure compliance with same. Internal Audit is the third line of defense, providing periodic independent verification of first- and second-line activities ORM is accountable for the design and maintenance of TDBG’s Operational Risk Management Framework, which encompasses enterprise-level policies, processes and practices for identifying, assessing, mitigating and reporting operational risk. ORM also facilitates enterprise level reporting of operational risk exposures to senior management, the Operational Risk Oversight Committee (OROC) and the Risk Committee of the Board (RCoB.) To implement the ORM Framework across the bank, we collaborate with a broad network of risk management practitioners who form TD’s extended ORM Community and the bank’s Second Line of Defense against risk.
