During November 2017 DCV obtained certification of its internal audit process from the Institute of Internal Auditors of Spain, which is an entity authorized by the Global Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA Global), the world’s highest authority on the matter.
The Quality Assessment (QA) shows the commitment of DCV’s control and compliance management team in connection with the compliance with International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing and to continuously improve its quality, professionalism and best practices.
This certification confirms that DCV is a company constantly searching for best practices and standards at a global level.
In 2014, DCV reengaged Thomas Murray services, a British company specializing in rating the risk of entities that form part of the capital markets’ infrastructure globally, with the purpose of performing an update of the rating carried out in 2011.
The assessment of the global risk performed that year has positioned DCV in a low-risk level by ratifying the A+ rating over the average risk of depositories in America, surpassed only by Brazil in Latin America, and by Canada and the United States in North America.
The measurement considered six risk dimensions and in this occasion, two new ones have been added: Asset Commitment Risk and Governance and Transparency Risk (G&T Risk). “Asset Commitment Risk” considers the risk involved by the time where the securities or the money are withheld until it is received by the counterparty. In turn, “Governance and Transparency Risk (G&T Risk)” reflects the risk of a participant incurring in loss on account of DCV not acting according to the laws or regulations, or not submitting complete or accurate information concerning its activities or the securities market activities.
These two new assessments have affected the global results of the Company, so maintaining the A+ rating obtained in 2011 has resulted in significant progress for DCV.
The assessment implies a global revision of DCV processes, projects and environment, including controlling entities and participants, who through interviews, provide information for the global assessment.
