      I was tasked in many occasions to closely monitor banks' performances and health, ensuring that the financial stability pillar of our country is sound. I had the privileged to examine several banks, both domestic and foreign entities. I also had a couple of experiences in examining our domestic banks abroad. I have also covered many areas of banking examinations (audit), from credit to market risks, assessing their banking significant activities (e.g. corporate banking, treasury, SME and retail banking). At the same time, in order to derive a meaningful assessment, I have to ensure an end to end process audit is executed in a complete and professional manner.At Financial Conglomerates Supervision Department, I was exposed in performing examination on various type of banking institutions, namely commercial and Islamic banks, investment bank (i.e. merchant bank), asset management companies, finance companies, and bank backed securities firm. These examinations were conducted using the CAMELS framework (similar to Federal Reserve methodology), and as time moves on, Risk Based Supervisory Framework (RBSF) was introduced, which concentrates in a more focus examination of financial institutions.
