CBF 5: Compliance, Governance & Reporting

In the event of a disruption, Bandtree Sdn Bhd’s compliance, governance, and reporting functions must be restored within acceptable recovery timeframes to ensure continued regulatory alignment, organisational integrity, and operational oversight.

As a government-linked company operating under Darussalam Assets Sdn Bhd, Bandtree must demonstrate unwavering accountability in fulfilling its statutory, legal, and corporate governance obligations.

Purpose of Chapter

This chapter outlines the Recovery Strategies developed for CBF-5: Compliance, Governance & Reporting, including its critical sub-processes. The strategies are designed to mitigate disruption risks and enable the swift restoration of essential activities, including regulatory compliance, internal audit, ESG reporting, and statutory submissions.

The selection of each recovery strategy is based on the criticality of the sub-function, the defined Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), and the availability of alternate resources, locations, or workarounds.

Each strategy has been formulated using industry-aligned mitigation principles, incorporating a mix of manual workarounds, alternate site operations, remote accessibility, and cloud-based systems.

These are documented to ensure minimal disruption to Bandtree’s accountability and transparency mandates, even during adverse scenarios

This is a comprehensive table for CBF-1  Compliance, Governance & Reporting, incorporating RTO, recovery strategies, locations, details, and justifications based on BCM Institute’s guidance note:

Explanation of Table Design

1. Recovery Time Objective (RTO): Maximum allowed downtime derived from BIA findings for each sub-function
2. Recovery Strategies: Options (resume, degraded services, manual, outsource, suspend) as outlined in Part 2 – selected based on criticality, urgency, and feasibility
3. Recovery Location: Could be alternate office, home, vendor site, or on-site – aligned with each sub-CBF’s needs and recovery strategy guidance
4. Details of Recovery Strategy: Specifies staffing, systems, manual workarounds, and backup resources needed.
5. Justification: Based on criteria from Part 1 mitigation (cost, support, readiness, urgency, risk reduction)

Summing Up ... 

The recovery strategies presented in this chapter provide a structured and resilient response framework for sustaining Bandtree’s core compliance and governance functions during a crisis.

By assigning tailored strategies to each sub-function—ranging from legal compliance to ESG reporting—the organisation ensures that disruptions do not compromise its ability to meet internal controls, regulatory demands, or stakeholder expectations.

These strategies reflect a proactive commitment to good governance, risk management, and business continuity.

Furthermore, they position Bandtree to maintain operational trust and credibility in compliance within the national corporate governance landscape.

As part of an ongoing effort, these strategies will be regularly tested, reviewed, and refined to ensure relevance and alignment with emerging threats, regulatory changes, and business needs.

Through a cohesive and tested recovery framework, Bandtree strengthens its capacity to uphold governance excellence and maintain its strategic role within Brunei Darussalam’s public asset management ecosystem.
