Control and Management of Risks
Several years ago
Atresmedia
implemented a Risk and Control Manage-
ment System that can identify, evaluate and mitigate any potential risks
through implementing specific controls and action plans.
In order to continuously improve the process, this model is revised and
updated regularly depending on the evolution of the Group's businesses,
the materialisation of risks, new regulations and the evolution of the or-
ganisation itself.
All of the Group's businesses and activities are covered by this risk and
control management model, and since it is a corporate system in the
Group, management and responsibility for it falls to the Board of Direc-
tors with the support of the functions entrusted to the Audit Committee
and with the participation and coordination of the Internal Audit and Pro-
cess Control Department. In addition to the risks that affect the company
as a whole, there are some specific risks that only affect certain units
within the organisation.
Objectives
