"Managing Our Risks

We are committed to effective risk management in support of delivery of our strategic objectives.

Our risk management process is designed to improve the likelihood of delivering our business objectives, protect the interests of our shareholders and key stakeholders and enhance the quality of our decision-making through the awareness of risk-assessed outcomes. It also assists in the safeguarding of our assets, including people, finances, property and reputation. We are committed to conducting business in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and in a manner that is consistent with our values.

Risk Governance Structure

The Board

Responsible for our system of Corporate Governance and overseeing execution of our strategy; risk management and policy; and financial performance.

Accountability for monitoring

Audit and Risk Committee

Responsible for reviewing and approving the adequacy and effectiveness of our risk management and internal controls.

Audit function

Reviews and reports on the system of internal control.

Chief Risk Officer

Reports on key risks and risk mitigation.

Executive Management Committee

Responsible for setting strategic direction, executing strategic decisions and implementing an effective corporate risk management system.

Business Divisions

Responsible for identifying, assessing and managing risks within their business subject to Group risk appetite.

Company Risk Map (Risk Register) & Divisional Risk Maps

Management teams in business units review risks through self-assessment methodology and develop risk registers which, together with risk maps that are developed from the risk registers, are submitted to the Executive Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee on a bi-annual basis.

Responsibility for implementing

BBA Aviation's risk mitigation strategy and risk appetite are matters that are overseen by the Board, with the support of the Audit and Risk Committee, which manages the processes that underpin risk assessment and our systems of internal control.

How we manage risk across BBA Aviation

The Board has established a framework for assessing risk in the context of likelihood and impact in financial and reputational terms. Each risk within the Group is assessed against this framework and the Board reassesses its risk appetite on a bi-annual basis when risk maps are presented to the Audit and Risk Committee.

Group policies, standards and internal controls, together with our Values and our focus on safety, underpin our approach to risk management. We are committed to being a responsible values-led business and our leaders are responsible for embedding this into BBA Aviation's culture, our decision-making and how we work.

Our employees are accountable for working to established standards and for identifying and escalating encountered risks so that they can be appropriately managed. The Group has comprehensive training programmes to ensure that employees are appropriately trained in BBA Aviation's ethics policies.

Risk Management Process

The key features of our risk management process are set out below:

Board, Executive Committee Review

Progress is monitored at global, divisional and business levels and risks assessed on an ongoing basis as part of the business review and risk management process.

Business Objectives

Our business objectives are established on a five year basis and drive our annual objectives.

Strategic Plan Development & Update

Our strategy informs the setting of shorter-term objectives across the Group and is widely communicated.

Portfolio & Investment Decisions

Portfolio and investment decisions are made based on resource constraints and risk/reward profiles against our strategic objectives.

Bi-Annual Risk Assessment Process

Annual Key & Emerging Risks Identification

Strategic Risk Mitigation

Ongoing Key Risk Monitoring

The bi-annual risk assessment process looks forward three years to create BBA Aviation's risk profile. These key Group-level risks are input into the scenario modelling for the Viability Statement, which is explained further on page 79 [of the Annual Report].

Progress in 2016

During 2016 we have updated our Risk Management Framework and continued to develop the alignment between our Risk Management and Internal Audit functions. The risk assessment process drives the internal audit scope, and the Chief Risk Officer and Head of Internal Audit attend Audit and Risk Committee meetings to provide regular updates.

We have improved the risk management process by:

-- Improving the Risk Register so that risk cause is clearly identified and the mitigating control addresses the risk cause. We also determine whether activity associated with every risk should be 'Treated, Tolerated, Transferred or Terminated' - which drives deeper understanding of risk management within the business.

-- A 'Deep Dive' process has been introduced whereby we probe more deeply into risk areas to provide additional and more specific information. We addressed Anti-Bribery and Corruption and Security risk areas during 2016

We continue to adopt a risk and controls-based approach and have improved our reporting to provide practical insight in executive summaries to enable senior management to understand issues quickly. All audit findings are reported in terms of risk and impact, which is aligned with BBA Aviation's Risk Model, and a structured follow-up process operates driven by action dates agreed collaboratively between Internal Audit and BBA Aviation's management and overseen by executive management.

Our project management capability on major projects continues to improve. For the carve-out and sale of the ASIG business we employed a specialist separation management consultancy to guide us through the planning process to ensure that we delivered an effective carve-out of the ASIG business to John Menzies plc.
