Afghanistan

Practical bank risk governance and assurance under Da Afghanistan Bank

Afghanistan’s formal banking framework is led by Da Afghanistan Bank and includes risk-management, fitness, external-audit and related-party requirements. Banks need documented governance, risk decisions, independent assurance, findings and corrective actions suited to current supervisory expectations.

Supervisory Priorities

What Regulated Organisations Need to Operationalise.

The applicable perimeter depends on entity type, licence and sector. These priorities provide a practical starting point for programme design and evidence management.

Bank Risk Governance

Fit and Proper Oversight

External Audit Assurance

Related-Party Controls

Regulatory Alignment

Afghanistan Regulation and Product Map.

Each row translates an official regulatory source into an operational GRC focus, then identifies only the platforms with a defensible workflow or evidence role.

Research Review

Official-source and product-fit review completed 1 September 2026.

Primary Fit

The platform directly manages a central process or evidence set described in the requirement.

Supporting Fit

The platform contributes linked evidence, oversight or follow-up but is not the main system for the requirement.

Not Shown

A weak or unsubstantiated product relationship is intentionally omitted.

This mapping is an implementation aid, not legal advice. It describes configurable workflow and evidence support, not automatic compliance. Always validate applicability, current versions, implementation dates and supervisory expectations with qualified advisers and the relevant authority.

Brochure-Validated Capability

Product Mapping Grounded in the 2026 Solution Briefs.

The mapping uses the capabilities documented in the current brochures. It does not extend the platforms beyond their stated functional scope.

Risk and Control Intelligence

Best suited to enterprise risk ownership, risk and control registers, assessments, appetite and tolerances, KRIs, treatments, approvals, dashboards and board reporting.

• Central risk and control register
• KRI threshold alerts
• Treatment action tracking
• AI-assisted drafting and classification

Independent Assurance

Best suited to the audit universe, risk-based planning, engagement execution, RCM-linked design and effectiveness testing, evidence, findings, approvals and follow-up.

• Risk-based audit planning
• ToD and ToE test procedures
• Working papers and evidence
• GIAS 2024 observation drafting

Incident Response and Closure

Best suited to incident intake, triage, investigation, root-cause analysis, escalation, notifications, corrective and preventive actions, closure and lessons learned.

• Central incident register
• Investigation and root cause
• Escalation and notifications
• Corrective-action tracking

Scope boundary

The platforms support governance workflows, accountability, evidence and reporting. They do not calculate regulatory capital or liquidity, replace technical cybersecurity monitoring, provide legal interpretation, issue external-audit opinions or automatically file statutory notifications unless an approved integration and process are configured.

Connected Operating Model

From Obligation to Board-Ready Evidence.

Use one traceable workflow to translate requirements, manage execution and demonstrate oversight.

Catalogue Obligations

Structure local requirements by entity, licence, authority and accountable owner.

Connect Operational Evidence

Link obligations to risks, controls, incidents, tests, findings and remediation.

Monitor and Assure

Track KRIs, control status, audit coverage, incidents and action closure continuously.
