Risk and Compliance Group
The Risk and Compliance Group (RCG) was established in 2024 under the Deputy Executive Director for Management and Policy and brings together key management oversight and control functions for risk management, compliance, internal controls and due diligence.
RCG ensures that effective risk management is in place across the organization, that activities are conducted in compliance with internal policies and procedures and applicable external rules and regulations, including in respect of UNOPS donors, clients and partners.
Though units with responsibility for risk management, compliance, internal control and due diligence have been present within UNOPS for some time, there is renewed organizational focus on these functions. The new Risk and Compliance Group will provide a platform for developing a more integrated and holistic approach to management oversight and control and for strengthening each of the component functions.
The Role of Director, Risk and Compliance Group
Reporting to the Deputy Executive Director for Management and Policy, the Director, RCG provides leadership and direction to RCG as a whole and the functions within.
Given the recent establishment of the RCG, the Director will continue to strengthen the capacity of RCG to execute its core activities and to consolidate its role as a core corporate resource by ensuring the functions and services of RCG meet the needs of its internal and external constituents and are suitably supported by effective working relationships.
The Director will combine elements of leadership and development with a strong technical focus and a highly collaborative partnering approach to ensure RCG delivers on UNOPS strategic priorities and protects and enhances UNOPS and its reputation.
