Sally Beck, and I discussed sometime ago the need for a meeting of the key= =20 business unit controllers across all commodities and locations, to promote= =20 a global contact network ( surprisingly, this is absent with only a few=20 business unit controllers known outside of their location ) common standards and best practices a defined role of business controller - to raise the bar for these key peop= le common infrastructure - where possible, given the timing/importance of=20 individual business priorities a focus on assessing operational risk within businesses - that should lend= =20 itself to cross prioritisation of 'Corporate' resources / attention Given my definition of the role of a business controller .....=20 provide the overall operational risk assessment facing the business unit assess the capacity constraints within the full business process - front to= =20 back - and design mitigation strategies to ensure continued growth despite= =20 barriers provide the single point of contact for support the business unit heads=20 Own the validitation process of the business balance sheet Own the implementation plans for the business risk systems ( the total=20 rewrite of the documentation, settlement and trade accounting systems are= =20 owned by me ) identify, recruit and manage the talent pool within the risk function of th= e=20 business unit identify opportunities to make the support infrastructure a commercial=20 competetive advantage I have planned to take the following staff to the conference in Houston Mike Jordan European Middle Office James New Gas, Power and Credit Controller=20 Mike Wellings UK Power Controller Coralie Evans Continental Power Controller Robert Yeo UK and Continental Gas Controller Paul D=01,Arcy Structured Transactions Controller David Wall Credit Controller Andrew Cornfield Metals' Risk Manager ( representing Kevin Rhodes & Howard= =20 Carter ) This is an investment in our key risk staff and I believe the upside from= =20 their participation is significant. However, I have been keen to minimise= =20 costs and time out of the office ( by flying on Sunday ) and have obtained= =20 'discounts' where possible. The cost per person for the trip equates to=20 Economy Flights for all o401 + tax of o56 Hotel $250 for 2 nights Share of meals / entertainment cost $300 for 2 nights ( estimated ) Total EEL budget for offsite $10,000=20 Additionally - taking all the lead risk managers / controllers out of the= =20 office for 2 working days represents a risk - however this is mitigated by= =20 the cover now in place below this team ( who are actually 'doing' the proce= ss=20 ) and the fact that the offsite is in Houston which would allow us to log o= n=20 from the houston office within a few hours of being contacted by mobile pho= ne. If you have any questions / concerns please contact me on 34703 Mike
