32、stralia there was significant downward pressure on industry profitability.Despite these challenges,our full-year statutory profit of$6.5 billion was 8%less than last years record financial performance and the second strongest revenue outcome on record.Along with financial risk being well managed,thi
33、s years cash profit was the next highest for ANZ since 2017.We also achieved a total shareholder return of 27%this financial year,resulting in a return of approximately 50%across the last two financial years.Our performance was driven by a solid performance in our core banking businesses,reinforcing
34、 the benefits of our diversified portfolio.Furthermore,our strong capital position,along with the successful sale of our stake in AmBank,enabled us to reduce our share count by over 30 million through$883 million of our ongoing$2 billion share buyback.The significance of the year was highlighted by
35、our successful acquisition of Suncorp Bank.This acquisition reshapes our presence and scale in the fast-growing Queensland market,and along with the progress of our new banking platform in Australia,ANZ Plus,the bank is well positioned for the future.As a result of our performance,your Boardwas plea
36、sed to declare a total dividend of 166 cents per share,which was down 5%on 2023,meaning morethan$4.9 billion will be returned toyou,our shareholders.The final dividend was partially franked which reflects the shape of our portfolio and percentage of ANZs profit generated outside of Australia.While w
37、e are pleased with the returns provided to shareholders,we have also made a meaningful contribution throughout the year to customers and the community.We are proud of this work,which is covered in our Chief Executives letter on the following pages.CapitalThe global economy passed through the most su
38、stained cycle of rising interest rates in decades.While deep recessions have not been apparent,inflation challenges persist with many customers and businesses confronting higher costs.Against this backdrop,ANZ is well prepared with sound levels of credit provision,capital,liquidity and funding.While
39、 the number of customers in hardship remains relatively low,our financial position allows us to stand ready to help customers in need.In the first half of the year,the Board approved an on-market share buyback of up to$2 billion one of our largest ever capital management exercises reflecting our str
40、ong capital position.We continued to protect and strengthen the balance sheet with your bank remaining among the best capitalised banks in the world.ANZs Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio was 12.2%.Non-financial RiskWhile the bank has a track record ofprudently managing financial risk,weare still building
41、capability in the management of non-financial risk(NFR).This has been emphasised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority(APRA)requiring ANZ to hold an additional operational risk capital overlay,due to concerns about our progress in this space,including issues within our Markets business.W
42、e have made progress in the delivery of our NFR program,I.AM Amplified,however it is clear there is more to do and ongoing vigilance is required.This will continue to be a significant focus in 2025.The actions we are taking on NFR are outlined in Box 1,while the Boards response on the specific matte
43、rs arising within the Markets business is covered in Box 2.As shareholders would expect,the Board has also taken these matters into account when assessing the performance of our Chief Executive Officer,Shayne Elliott,and the executive team this year.While there has been no finding of any direct acco
44、untability for members of the Executive Committee,as CEO,Shayne is ultimately responsible for all aspects of the Banks performance.This is why the Board applied its discretion and assessed Shaynes performance to be below target and determined the appropriate 2024 Short Term Variable Remuneration(STV
45、R)outcome was 65%of target opportunity(52%of maximum opportunity).4ANZ 2024 Annual ReportPaul OSullivan ChairmanIn addition,the Board considered it appropriate to hold the Executive Committee collectively accountable for the issues relating to NFR and this has been reflected in their final outcomes.
46、More details of the Boards actions are outlined in the Remuneration Report.Board RenewalThere has been ongoing renewal of our Board in recent times with a particular focus on appointing Non-Executive Directors with experience in financial services.This has been particularly beneficial as we have man
47、aged the NFR and Markets issues.In February,Richard Gibb joined the Group Board,while John Cincotta was appointed a Non-Executive Director of the Banking Group.Before joining ANZs board,Richard was Chief Executive of Credit Suisse Australia and previously held senior global roles at Deutsche Bank an
48、d Merrill Lynch.John,who was one of the founders of Barrenjoey Capital Partners had a long career at Deutsche Bank Australia and New Zealand.Then in March we welcomed the Chair of ANZ New Zealand,Scott St John,to the Group Board as a Non-Executive Director.Scott has served on our New Zealand Board s
49、ince 2021.Scott currently chairs Mercury NZ Limited and was formerly the CEO of First NZ Capital(now Jarden)and Chair of Fisher and Paykel Healthcare.This year Sir John Key retired from ANZ having served as both a Non-Executive Director for the Group and Chairman of ANZ New Zealand since 2018.Sir Jo
50、hn made an enormous contribution with his unparalleled international business and political experience playing a critical role in our ongoing success.As a Board,we will miss his wise counsel and global insights and we wish him the very best for the future.In closing,I would like to acknowledge the m
51、any thousands of ANZ employees who come to work every day to do their best for their customers and colleagues as we continue to build a bank that benefits all our stakeholders.Box 1:Non-Financial Risk Management at ANZFollowing the Royal Commission,ANZ commenced a major program to strengthen NFR man
52、agement across the Bank,including greater standardisation of risk tolerance,processes and reporting.In practice,NFRrefers to the risks that we face from managing our operations,our processes and systems as well as how we conduct ourselves.In 2022 the ANZ Board elevated its review of progress and acc
53、ountability forthe NFR program.At the time,steps included reinforcing the Executive Committees accountability and upgrading the technology platform underpinning the new program.The Board also appointed an independent external expert to monitor and report on progress.As of late 2023-24,the program wa
54、s making good progress and meeting keymilestones,while staff using the new systems were reporting an improved NFR capability.However,events associated with the Markets business in the Institutional Division(see box 2)highlighted the need for an ongoing uplift in ANZs NFR processes and drew a respons
55、e from APRA including a risk capital overlay.In addition to ensuring delivery of the existing NFR program,the Board is also requiring further focus from Management on strengthening risk culture and embedding the new NFR processes across the bank.The Board considers the final delivery of the NFR prog
56、ram,combined with the additional focus on embedding NFR controls,will provide the required outcome.We will continue to report on our progress to shareholders and regulators.Box 2:Institutional Division,Markets IssuesDuring the year,concerns were raised regarding an Australian Government bondissuance
57、 in 2023 where ANZ was the Duration Manager and a Joint Lead Manager.There were also conduct and data issues identified within our Marketsbusiness.The Board has direct oversight of the issue and taken a number of actions,including:Assessing reports from independent experts in financial markets appoi
58、nted toanalyse trading activity.Engaging external legal advisors,independent of Management,to ensure rigorous and thorough outcomes from the expert reviews.Establishing a sub-committee of directors with relevant experience,chaired byme,to evaluate and test technical issues on ongoing basis.Commissio
59、ning Oliver Wyman,in consultation with APRA,to undertake athorough independent review of culture and controls within the Marketsbusiness.While some of these reviews remain ongoing,the Board has ensured accountability and consequences are enforced where relevant,particularly fortheconduct and data ma
60、tters.Consequences for the Executive Committee are detailed in the Remuneration Report and include:A reduction in the Risk Modifier which reduced the outcome of the Group Scorecard and impacted variable remuneration for all employees.Collective accountability for the entire Executive Committee regar
61、ding NFR matters,resulting in a reduction in 2024 STVR and a reduction in 2025 Long Term Variable Remuneration(LTVR)restricted rights to be granted in November/December 2024.An additional STVR impact for Executives with greater overall accountability forthe Markets and NFR matters.Given the Australi
62、an Securities and Investments Commissions(ASIC)review of these matters is ongoing,the Board has the discretion to freeze or reduce future vesting of equity to accountable Executives and is satisfied that the quantum of outstanding equity is sufficient.5OverviewOperating environmentGovernancePerforma
63、nce overviewRemuneration reportDirectors reportFinancial reportShareholder informationCEOs messageShayne Elliott Chief Executive OfficerAfter a record performance in 2023,this year was another pivotal year for our company.We completed the successful acquisition of Suncorp Bank,setting us up for futu
64、re success.We also achieved strong results from our core banking business and saw emerging benefits from our investments in key customer platforms ANZ Plus and Transactive Global.Our results demonstrate the benefits of multiple years of simplification,strengthening of the balance sheet and targeted
65、investment into market-leading platforms which better support our customers,while producing sustainable returns for our shareholders and positioning us well for the future.As the Chairman has covered extensively,this year issues arose in our Markets business,which have been extremely disappointing a
66、s they are contrary to our requirements and the standards we have set for ourselves.This has reinforced how critical it is to ensure we have an engaged and purpose-led culture across ANZ.While our employee engagement score remained industry leading in 2024,I acknowledge there is always more to be do
67、ne to embed a strong speak-up culture with a deep understanding of non-financial risk.As CEO of ANZ,this is a key priority.The Bank We Bought Suncorp BankOn 1 August 2024,we welcomed approximately 3,000 Suncorp Bank employees,1.2 million customers and$54.6 billion of deposits into the ANZ family.The
68、 quality of the business is already exceeding our expectations.In the two years since announcing the acquisition,Suncorp Banks customer numbers,home lending and deposits have all grown.As we learn more about the quality of Suncorp Banks business,people and assets,we are increasingly confident that w
69、e are well placed to deliver more synergies than expected,faster than initially planned.We will share more detail of our aspirations at our first half results in 2025.We have always positioned our acquisition of Suncorp Bank as a platform for growth in Queensland and that is why we were happy to mak
70、e commitments to the Queensland Government with regards to lending and jobs.We have already demonstrated momentum in meeting these commitments,with recent announcements including financing for Queenslands largest affordable housing project for seniors and people with disability.We are establishing a
71、 new technology hub in Brisbane focused on digital,cloud and data capability,which will employ more than 700 people over the next five years.Our focus now is to drive value from the acquisition,combining the best of ANZ and Suncorp Bank to create one bank thats better together for customers,colleagu
72、es,shareholders and the community.The Bank were Building Throughout the year,we continued to deliver propositions to support our customers built on resilient,agile platforms which can innovate at pace.These platforms provide the underlying technology infrastructure that drives the business.This was
73、possible due to the investment of about$2.5 billion over the past five years to improve our technical capabilities and capacity to speed up delivery.This provides more seamless and secure banking experiences that deliver better customer outcomes and ultimately grow market share and profitability.Thi
74、s includes ANZ Plus,which we believe is the most engaging,contemporary and easy to use retail banking platform in Australia.ANZ Plus customer numbers grew 85%through the year to nearly 850,000,and deposits grew 70%to almost$16 billion.Nearly one in five of our active retail customers now call ANZ Pl
75、us home.We continue to acquire around 30,000 customers onto the ANZ Plus platform every month and pleasingly,48%of customers who joined ANZ Plus in FY24 were new to ANZ.6ANZ 2024 Annual ReportIn line with our strategy to improve the financial wellbeing of customers,almost half of all ANZ Plus custom
76、ers are using a financial wellbeing feature such as round-ups,and more than a third have set and are actively working towards a savings goal.Another great example of how the technology ANZ Plus is built on allows us to launch market-first features safely,quickly and at low cost,was the launch of MyA
77、ccounts.This was the first time a major Australian bank has leveraged open banking technology to give customers a consolidated view of their eligible accounts across different Australian financial institutions.Other recent new ANZ Plus features include the introduction of joint accounts,home loan of
78、fsets and the ability to import billers and payees from our existing ANZ app.We also integrated more partnerships into the ANZ Plus app:Qantas Frequent Flyer points,which was an Australian first,and Cashrewards,our 100%-owned,leading cashback provider in Australia.This comes at a time when many cust
79、omers are looking to make their dollar go further.These features enhance our customers experience while also helping lay the foundations to make it easier and safer to migrate our existing customers to ANZ Plus,starting in 2025.We have also invested significantly in the Institutional business,in par
80、ticular our payments and cash management platform,Transactive Global,which supports institutional and commercial customers with advanced transaction banking services,including to help them manage and move money globally.This positioned us to be at the forefront of innovation including PayTo real-tim
81、e payments services,while also piloting real-time cross-border payments into Australia.As a result,Coalition Greenwich ranked ANZ#1 in Transaction Banking product development and innovation in Australia this year,and we were named Best Bank for Payments globally by Global Finance Magazine.Our Instit
82、utional Division now generates much of its income from low-risk processing businesses,and in 2024 achieved record revenue,record profit before provisions,and record return on equity.Supporting our customersOur platforms,ANZ Plus and Transactive Global,not only improve our customers experience and re
83、duce costs,they also help protect our customers from scams and fraud.ANZ Plus has introduced a raft of scam safe features including screen share protection from scammers,location-based security,risky-app detection,crypto limits and the use of technology to help detect if customers are being coached
84、from scammers.In addition,we have increased personalised internet banking warning messages when activity is considered high risk and introduced a new Scam Scoring model which uses Artificial Intelligence to complement our security systems and boost scam detection.Combined with increased education an
85、d resources including a new team of dedicated fraud and scam specialists these measures are having an impact.In 2024,our people and systems stopped more than$140 million being sent to criminals.Helping customers who may be facing financial difficulty as early as possible is another key priority.In A
86、ustralia,while customers can reach out to us if they need help,we also proactively check in via SMS with hundreds of customers a month who are potentially facing financial hardship.In line with the broader economic environment,the number of Australian home loan and small business customers in hardsh
87、ip has risen over the past year.However,this is off an historically low base and the overall data suggests that in aggregate,customers are holding up better than originally expected.That said,where customers are in difficulty we will work with them to find a solution tailored to their situation.Supp
88、orting the communitySupporting our communities is core to our purpose,which is to shape a world where people and communities thrive.Our financial education and matched savings program,Saver Plus,celebrated its 21st birthday this year,making it the largest and longest running program of its kind in t
89、he world.The program was developed alongside Brotherhood of St Laurence and is delivered in partnership with Berry Street and The Smith Family,with funding support from the Australian Government and ANZ.In that time,more than 62,000 participants have built lifelong savings habits while saving more t
90、han$31 million.Over the same period,ANZ has provided more than$26 million in matched funds.This program has been life changing for many,with the vast majority of those taking part still saving more than seven years after completion,while their total assets have increased.Likewise,our flagship financ
91、ial education program MoneyMinded,which supports adults on lower incomes to build their financial skills,knowledge and confidence,also continues to flourish.Over a million people have taken part since 2002 across Australia,Asia,the Pacific and New Zealand.Our outlook and prioritiesLooking ahead,we w
92、ill remain focused on running the bank well.This will be driven by our purpose and focused on delivering good customer outcomes,as well as strengthening risk management and providing consistent financial returns to shareholders.We will continue to simplify our business to focus on two key platforms,
93、ANZ Plus and Transactive Global.This will help us better serve our customers,manage costs,improve productivity and unlock further benefits of simplification.We will also leverage Generative AI to increase productivity and deliver better tools to support our people and customers,including through our
94、 new AI Immersion Centre launched in partnership with Microsoft earlier this year.As I look ahead,I am confident our diversified portfolio,unique global network,and fortress balance sheet mean we are well positioned to continue to deliver for our shareholders,our people and our community.Finally,I t
95、hank the team at ANZ for their commitment to supporting our customers,which has helped drive these positive results.Shayne Elliott Chief Executive Officer7OverviewOperating environmentGovernancePerformance overviewRemuneration reportDirectors reportFinancial reportShareholder informationzOur operati
96、ng environmentA range of influences characterise the current operating environment.Economies have coped relatively well with the sharp increases in interest rates over 2022 and 2023.Economic activity has slowed,but recessions have been rare and shallow.Unemployment in Australia and New Zealand has o
97、nly modestly increased.The cumulative impact of rising prices and higher interest rates is sustaining cost of living pressures for consumers,but household balance sheets,in aggregate,are sturdy.Investment plans are generally robust,but resource availability is a challenge,not least because of simila
98、r wants across economies.Industrial policy has become more common,including in Australia,and is likely to reshape the structure of economic activity over time as governments address perceived supplychain vulnerabilities and prioritise domestic resilience.Chinas economy is operating on a different cy
99、cle.Growth has moderated asthe economy adjusts to an ageing demographic and the demand mix changes.Trade is still growing despite geopolitical complexities.High commodity prices are sustaining exports from Australia and New Zealand.Asian exports have had a particularly strong year,backed by renewed
100、strength in technology trade.The climate transition remains a subtext tomany of these developments.Resource access challenges feature here as well,asmany economies strive to invest in renewable energy,building retrofits and more climate-friendly transport.8ANZ 2024 Annual ReportEconomic outlookGrowt
101、h has slowed,but many central banks have begun to reduce interest rates.Inflation has proven to be slightly stickier inAustralia than elsewhere.Australia,therefore,is likely to follow with a modest easing cycle of its own,but not until 2025.Easing cycles are likely to only partially reverse the shar
102、p interest rate rises of recent years.Private sector balance sheets,in general,arein solid shape,suggesting lower interest rates are likely to generate economic traction without needing to be too vigorous.The supply side of many economies remains challenged by influences including ageing workforces,
103、housing constraints,and the influence of geopolitics and industry policy on supply chains.This is also encouraging more sustained government spending than has been the case in previous cycles.Policy in China has been gradually responding to reduce the risks of a sharper slowdown.Excessively low infl
104、ation has been the primary macroeconomic challenge.Further easing is likely as China adjusts to softer structural drivers of demand.An ageing demographic suggests a shift in the mix of activity over time,including in the commodity sector.These shifts are likely to have some permanence.1.Refer to our

224、ementConstant changes and uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment,climate change and evolving geopolitical tensions continue to pose challenges to our operating conditions.We understand that our customers are similarly affected by these as well as additional challenges such as experiencing in
225、creasing fraud and scams activities.We continueto strengthen our risk management framework and practices to meet such challenges.External environmentThe Groups financial performance is closely linked to the political,economic and financial conditions in the countries and regions in which ANZ,its cus
226、tomers and its counterparties carry on business.The current external environment is shaped by significant global events particularly geopolitical conditions and climate change that impact economic stability,regulatory environments and financial markets.Geopolitical risk:Elections,conflicts,and incre
227、asing US China competition have dominated the geopolitical environment this year.Conflict in the Middle East and Europe continue to impact regional security and supply chains and have increased market volatility.Meanwhile,economic security policymaking has accelerated as large economies vie for infl
228、uence,resources,and industrial expansion.These dynamics are reshaping trade and investment flows,yetthe swift adaptation of these flows underscores the resilience of the international system.ANZ established a Geopolitical Risk function in 2021,which provides quarterly updates to key risk committees,
229、works with country teams to monitor and manage regional risks,and this year expanded to provide more analysis and advice to management on fast-moving developments.Climate risk:In November 2023,the Board Risk Committee approved climate risk as a material risk within ANZs risk management framework.Cli
230、mate risk is also considered to be a driver of other risks within our risk management framework.Work is progressing to integrate and embed climate risk into the Groups risk management framework through existing policies,processes and governance frameworks.It is anticipated that this will be a multi-
231、year journey,recognising the complexities and challenges that arise from an evolving regulatory landscape,limitations on the availability of and access to reliable and consistent data,and the need to uplift systems,tools,and capability across the Group.For details on our approach to managing climate
232、 risk and actions we are taking aspart of our Net-Zero Banking Alliance commitment,refer to our 2024 Climate-related Financial Disclosures available at Change Commitment is available at Disruption and Change:ANZ serves a diverse customer base,including retail,small business,corporates,multinational
233、institutions,and other financial institutions.We tailor our digital channels and products to meet their varying needs.Our payments services process payments in 29 markets and annually we serve more than 10 million customers,facilitating over seven billion payments and capital flows.The pace of chang
234、e continues toaccelerate driven by the dynamic regulatory landscape,increased technology disruption from both traditional and non-traditional competitors and industry-driven changes(such as decommission in legacy clearing streams(BECS&Cheques);Confirmation of Payee,faster payment adoption through As

236、onsive to the evolving regulatory,competitive,customer and technological demands.26ANZ 2024 Annual ReportIn addition,economic instability including elevated interest rates,inflationary pressures and higher cost of living continue to increase financial stress for some customers.While households and b
237、usinesses have been largely resilient to date,the Board and management continually monitor these developing conditions to set appropriate risk criteria for a range of potential scenarios.We will continue to carefully manage our capital and risk appetite settings so we can continue to support our cus
238、tomers.Suncorp Bank integration On 1st August 2024,we welcomed 3000Suncorp Bank employees and 1.2 million customers into the ANZ Group.We believe this acquisition will bring significant public benefits and create a stronger,more competitive bank that will better serve our customers.Suncorp Bank has
239、acomprehensive risk management framework and policies that operate effectively.Through the establishment of the Suncorp Bank Board,and in line with commitments made,Suncorp Bank has its own dedicated Management and Board Risk Committees.Work is in progress to ensure asmooth transition of risk manage
240、ment frameworks and policies,and effective integration into the ANZ risk management operating model.Non-financial riskDuring the year APRA required ANZ to holdan additional operational risk capital overlay of$250 million(total$750 million)from 30thSeptember 2024.This increase was a result of APRA vi
241、ewing ANZ as having made insufficient progress in addressing weaknesses in non-financial risk management.These concerns were heightened following a number of recent issues relating to our Markets business.While there has been a lot of work already completed in uplifting our approach to non-financial
242、 risk management,there is still more to do,and ANZ remains committed to getting that work done as soon as possible.This includes the adoption of a consistent,simplified,bank-wide methodology and framework,from a technology,reporting,and culture perspective.Financial crimeWe maintain a financial crim
243、e risk management program that anticipates and navigates criminal threats.The Financial Crime portfolio continues to be responsible for ensuring that ANZ meets its regulatory obligations through its Anti-Fraud Policy,Anti-Money Laundering/Counter Terrorism Finance and Sanction Programs for deliverin
244、g detection,investigative and intelligence capability focused on identifying,mitigating,and managing financial crime risk to help protect the community.We also maintain our partnership with the Australian Transaction Report and Analysis Centre(AUSTRAC)-led Fintel Alliance to increase the resilience
245、of the financial sector to prevent exploitation by criminals,and support investigations into serious crime and national security.ScamsANZ continues to invest significantly as part of its fight to help protect customers and the community from scams and other financial crimes.In 2024,ANZ has prevented
246、 more than$140 million of customer funds going to cybercriminals and total ANZ customer scam losses decreased compared to the previous year.This is partly due to increased friction we have put in place to slow down the payment process for high-risk payments.We also rely on our enhanced Falcon techno
247、logy to detect more suspicious transactions.Our latest measures for ANZ Classic customers include the introduction of a dedicated team of specialists who handle calls about fraud and scams,a new Scam Scoring model that uses AI to boost our scam detection,and a Mule Detection model to detect mule acc
248、ounts and restrict the movement of scam proceeds.We also increased personalised warning messages on Internet Banking when a transaction or activity is considered high risk.For ANZ Plus customers,we introduced a suite of scam safe features including screen share protection from scammers,location-base
249、d security,risky-app detection,crypto limits and active call status to detect coaching from scammers.We delivered various education initiatives to improve scam confidence and service capability for our bankers and customers.This included for example,new and enhanced content on ANZs security hub on ,
250、messages and alerts in ANZs digital channels,and the creation of new mandated security content for frontline employees to support customer engagement on security.We also added a new scams education module to ANZs flagship financial education program,MoneyMinded,which equips community professionals w
251、ith resources to support their clients identify and protect themselves from scams.Emerging risksANZ manages and monitors risks in accordance with our Risk Management Framework(RMF).In addition to our material risks see below two emerging risks that we are paying particular attention to are:Nature:We
252、 consider that our most material nature risks can arise from lending to customers that have material impacts and/or dependencies on nature.These risks can also arise from legal and regulatory changes,which may impact ANZ directly or indirectly through our customers.Failure to manage these risks may
253、lead to financial and non-financial risks to ANZ.We acknowledge the need to protect and restore nature and mitigate biodiversity loss including as a result of species extinction or decline,ecosystem degradation and nature loss.We are seeking to understand the impacts and dependencies nature can have
254、 on our customers,including how customers are managing and mitigating material risks and impacts.For details on our approach to managing nature risk refer to our 2024 Climaterelated Financial Disclosures available at Climate Change Commitment is available at Intelligence(AI):At ANZ,we recognise the
255、opportunity of using AI to help shape a better world where communities thrive.AI has the potential to drive significant innovation and efficiency in our operations,leading to enhanced customer experiences and business growth.With this opportunity comes the need to act responsibly to mitigate the pot
256、ential risks associated with use of AI.ANZ is adapting our governance and risk management frameworks to ensure that AI is adopted safely,in pace with evolving regulatory standards and the expectations of our customers.27OverviewOperating environmentGovernancePerformance overviewRemuneration reportDi
257、rectors reportFinancial reportShareholder informationRisk cultureRisk culture is an important component ofour organisational culture and underpins the shared values,behaviours and practices that influence how risk is considered in decision making.ANZ remains committed to strengthening risk culture,s
258、upporting the Group to meetthe evolving expectations of our customers,the community and regulators.Having achieved the target state in 2023,the enterprises risk culture has not met expectations of continuous improvement in 2024.Notwithstanding the strength in managing the Groups financial risks acro
259、ss credit,market,capital,and liquidity,regulatory concerns around our Markets business and non-financial risk management are earnestly under review,ensuring learnings are captured to support improvement of risk management behaviours and practices where appropriate.Risk culture is actively monitored
260、anddriven across the Group through completion of risk culture plans,enterprise-wide awareness activities and the continued focus on delivery of the Group wide non-financial risk framework.Risk culture is embedded in annual performance and remuneration,and recognition programs such as Risk RoleModels
261、(see section 6 of the Remuneration Report).Our Risk Management Framework(RMF)The Board is ultimately responsible for establishing and overseeing the ANZ Groups RMF which is supported by the Groups underlying systems,structures,policies,procedures,processes and people.The Board has delegated authorit
262、y to the Board Risk Committee(BRC)to develop and monitor compliance with theGroups risk management policies.The Committee reports regularly to the Board on its activities.The key pillars of ourGroup RMF include:The Risk Management Strategy(RMS)which isa critical element of the Groups RMF.The RMS inc
263、ludes:how the risk function is structured to support the Groups purpose and strategy,and the execution of the Group Chief Risk Officers prescribed responsibilities as an Accountable Person under the Financial Accountability Regime;the values,attitudes and behaviours that support risk decision-making
264、 in delivering on strategic priorities and a Board approved target risk culture;a description of each material risk;and an overview of how the RMS addresses each material risk,with reference to the relevant policies,standards and procedures.It also includes information on how the Group identifies,me
265、asures,evaluates,monitors,reports and controls or mitigates the material risks and the oversight mechanism and/or committees in place.The Risk Appetite Statement(RAS),conveys,for each material risk,the maximum level of risk the Group is willing to accept in pursuing its strategic objectives and its
266、operating plans considering its shareholders,depositors and customers interests.Risk Principles support the RMF and outline the behaviours and practices that are expected to be applied to guide risk management and help to instil an appropriate risk culture across the Group.The Group operates under t
267、he Three Lines-of-Defence Model.Each line of defence has clearly defined roles,responsibilities and escalation paths to support effective risk management at ANZ.The three lines of defence model embeds a culture where risk is everyones responsibility.The business and enablement functions form the fir
268、st lines-of-defence and are responsible for the implementation and ongoing maintenance of the RMF including day-to-day ownership of risksand controls.The Risk function forms the second line of defence,providing independent oversight of the Groups risk profile and RMF,including effective challenge to
269、 activities and decisions that materially affect the Groups risk profile and working with the first line,in developing and maintaining the RMF.Internal Audit is the third line of defence,providing independent evaluation andobjective assurance on the appropriateness,effectiveness and adequacy of the
270、Groups RMF.The governance and oversight of risk management,while embedded in day-to-day activities,is also the focus of committees and regular forums across thebank(see diagram next page).The committees and forums discuss and monitor known and emerging risks,review management plans and monitor progr

276、al Adequacy RiskThe risk of loss arising from the Group failing tomaintain the level of capital required by prudential regulators and other key stakeholders(shareholders,debt investors,depositors,rating agencies,etc.)to support the Groups consolidated operations and risk appetite.We pursue an active
277、 approach to Capital Management,which is designed to protect the interests of depositors,creditors and shareholders through ongoing review,and Board approval,of the level and composition of our capital base against key policy objectives.Credit RiskThe risk of financial loss resulting from:A counterp
278、arty failing to fulfil its obligations;or A decrease in credit quality of a counterparty resulting in a loss.Our Credit Risk framework is top down,being defined by credit principles,policies and requirements.Credit policies,requirements and procedures cover all aspects of the credit life cycle from
279、initial approval and risk grading,through to ongoing management and problem debt management.Liquidity and Funding RiskThe risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due,including:Repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt;or The Group having insufficient capacity
280、to fundincreases in assets.The Group recognises the inherent liquidity andfunding risk in the balance sheet and has established a set of key principles,to mitigate andcontrol liquidity and funding risk.Our framework is top down,being defined by liquidity principles and policies.A liquidity limit fra
281、mework is in place with liquidity limits set based on a liquidity stress testing framework.Market RiskThe risk stems from our trading and balance sheet activities and is the risk to the Groups earnings arising from:Changes in interest rates,foreign exchange rates,credit spreads,volatility,correlatio
282、ns;or Fluctuations in bond,commodity or equity prices.We have a detailed market risk management and control framework which includes incorporating an independent risk measurement approach to quantify the magnitude of market risk within the trading and balance sheet portfolios.This approach identifie
283、s the range of possible outcomes,that can be expected over a given period of time,and establishes the likelihood of those outcomes and allocates an appropriate amount of capital to support these activities.Strategic RiskStrategic Risk is defined as the risk that internal or external factors prevent
284、the Group from achieving the key strategic goals that are core to its operations through introduced risk due to strategy changes,failure to execute the strategy effectively,or a failure to adapt the strategy in response to changing environments and requirements.Strategic risk may arise from factors
285、such as changes in the environmental context,failure to meet strategic targets,and the introduction of new or heightened risks resulting from strategic adjustments.Strategic risks are discussed and managed by the Executive Committee(ExCo)through the Group strategic planning process.Additionally,we m
286、onitor delivery risk associated with High Impact change initiatives and undertake risk assessments prior to execution of our strategic changes.Material risks30ANZ 2024 Annual Report Risk typeDescriptionManaging the riskClimate RiskClimate risk includes:Physical risk arising from both longer-term cha
287、nges in climate(chronic risk)as well as changes to the frequency and magnitude ofextreme weather events(acute risk).Examples ofchronic physical risk drivers include rising sea levels,rising average temperatures and ocean acidification.Examples of acute physical risk drivers include heatwaves,floods,
288、bushfires andcyclones;Transition risk arising from the transition to a lower emission economy,including changes in domestic and international policy and regulatory settings,technological innovation,social adaptation and market changes;or Liability risk in the form of potential litigation or regulato
289、ry action that may arise as a consequence of afailure to adequately consider or respond to the impacts of climate change(including physical and transition risks).This includes for example,the risk of greenwashing,which may arise where an entity is alleged to have misrepresented its climate-related r
290、isks,business credentials orstrategies.Following the elevation of climate risk to a material risk in November 2023,work is progressing to integrate and embed climate risk into the Groups risk management framework through existing policies,processes and governance frameworks.While climate risk can be
291、 a driver of credit risk through lending to our customers,it may also result in other financial risks,e.g.market riskClimate risks can also be a driver of non-financial risks including conduct risk,regulatory risk and operational resilience risk.Climate-related financial and non-financial risks are
292、managed through the risk management strategies associated with these risks.In 2024,we identified insurability risk as an emerging risk to the Group and are seeking to further understand the potential risks and impacts to our customers.Non-Financial RiskNon-Financial Risk(NFR)is the risk of loss and/
293、or non-compliance(including failure to act in accordance with laws,regulations,industry standards and codes,and internal policies)resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes,people,system and/or data,or fromexternal events.The Group manages NFR in accordance with the industry-wide Operati
294、onal Risk Exchange(ORX)taxonomy,of16 Risk Themes,noting some of these present a higher inherent risk to the Group such as Conduct,Data,Financial Crime,Information Security(including Cyber),Regulatory and Technology.The Groups strategy for evolving NFR management provides a planned and proactive appr
295、oach to improving the Groups NFR management.The NFR strategy is being operationalised through the NFR Framework,which has been designed to enable the Group to holistically,consistently and effectively identify,assess,remediate,monitor and report on NFR.For further information about the principal ris

327、gain 2023:$90 million loss The Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risk which,in accordance with accounting standards,result in fair value gains and losses being recognised within the Income Statement.We remove the fair value adjustments from cash profi
328、t since the profit or loss resulting from the hedge transactions will reverse over time to match with the profit or loss from the economically hedged item as part of cash profit.This includes gains and losses arising from derivatives not designated in accounting hedge relationships but which are con
329、sidered to be economic hedges,including hedges of foreign currency debt issuances and foreign exchange denominated revenue and expense streams,primarily NZD and USD(and USD correlated),as well as ineffectiveness from designated accounting hedges.In the 2024 financial year,losses on economic hedges r
330、elate to funding-related swaps,principally from narrowing USD/EUR currency basis spreads and the weakening of the USD against the AUD.Further losses were driven by the impact of falling AUD and NZD yield curves on net pay fixed economic hedge positions.The gain on revenue and expense hedges was main
