Risk Management<br />
It is the view of the Board of Directors that sound risk management is a strategic tool to enhance value generation. Internal control<br />
should ensure effective operations and prudent management of risks that could otherwise prevent the Bank from attaining its business<br />
targets.<br />
The Bank has significantly improved the framework and policies in 2010, bringing them to a level with international best practices. To this<br />
end the Bank has re-evaluated the credit process, established a credit underwriting unit within the Risk Management division, designed<br />
and implemented an Early Warning System and enhanced risk modelling. The Bank aims to further strengthen the risk management<br />
process in the coming year. Further description of the Bank’s risk management is provided in Notes 44-79.<br />
According to a legislation passed in 2009 the salary of the CEO of <strong>Landsbankinn</strong> is determined by the Compensation Council (”Kjarará›”).<br />
The Council determines remuneration and terms of employment of high level government employees, including CEOs of companies in<br />
which the government holds a majority of shares. It is a great concern of the Board that the decision of Kjarará› regarding the salary of<br />
the CEO of <strong>Landsbankinn</strong> is not set at a competitive level.<br />
