CBF 5: Compliance, Governance & Reporting

The effectiveness of Compliance, Governance, and Reporting (CBF-5) at Bandtree is highly dependent on a complex network of interdependencies that span internal business units, regulatory bodies, external service providers, and stakeholders.

Understanding these relationships is crucial for ensuring operational continuity, particularly in the context of risk oversight, regulatory compliance, strategic reporting, and corporate governance functions.

Purpose of Chapter

This section identifies and maps the critical inter-dependencies associated with each sub-process of CBF-5. It assesses the nature, direction, and type of these dependencies — whether they are upstream, downstream, or mutual — and whether they arise from internal operations or external entities.

This analysis provides essential insight for continuity planning, enabling a timely response to disruptions that could impact regulatory compliance, audit functions, ESG reporting, and statutory obligations.

Here is the table for Critical Business Function CBF-5 Compliance, Governance & Reporting for Bandtree, incorporating sub-processes (Sub-CBFs) and detailing their dependencies in line with BCMpedia's interdependency concepts.

Summing Up ... Part 5

The interdependencies outlined in this chapter highlight the interconnected nature of CBF-5 Compliance, Governance, and Reporting, and reinforce its strategic role within Bandtree.

These dependencies are not isolated but reflect a broader ecosystem where internal and external relationships significantly influence the organisation’s ability to meet legal, ethical, and reporting standards.

By documenting and evaluating these relationships, Bandtree strengthens its resilience and improves its readiness to manage disruptions across critical reporting and governance functions.

This proactive approach supports sustainable compliance practices, preserves regulatory trust, and upholds corporate integrity across the company’s operations.

Part 6: Vital Records

Notes for BCM Institute's Course Participants: This is the template for completing the "Part 6: Vital Records."

CBF 5: Compliance, Governance & Reporting

Part 6: Vital Records serves as a critical component of Bandtree Sdn Bhd’s Business Continuity Management (BCM) framework, specifically supporting CBF-5: Compliance, Governance & Reporting.

This section identifies and catalogues the essential records required to maintain the continuity and integrity of key compliance and governance activities during and after a disruption.

Given Bandtree’s role as a government-linked company (GLC) under Darussalam Assets Sdn Bhd, and its responsibilities in upholding regulatory, corporate governance, and ESG obligations, it is imperative that vital records are protected, retrievable, and consistently updated.

These records not only ensure adherence to legal and statutory requirements but also safeguard the company's reputation and operational resilience.

Purpose of Chapter

This chapter outlines the types of vital records associated with each sub-process within CBF-5, including their formats, storage locations, and custodianship.

Emphasis is placed on both physical and digital recordkeeping practices to ensure redundancy, traceability, and secure access.

Based on the sub-processes (Sub-CBF) of CBF-5: Compliance, Governance & Reporting for Bandtree, and following the structure for documenting Vital Records as referenced from BCM Institute's guidance notes, this is the table:

Summing Up ... for Part 6

The proper identification and management of vital records underpin the effectiveness of Bandtree’s compliance and governance capabilities.

In times of disruption, the availability of accurate and complete records enables informed decision-making, supports regulatory accountability, and sustains operational integrity.

Through the structured documentation presented in this chapter, Bandtree reinforces its commitment to robust governance and responsible reporting.

Ongoing reviews and secure archival of these vital records will remain essential to ensuring continuity, transparency, and alignment with national and industry standards.
