NCB Capital Markets is committed to safeguarding the interest of our clients in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption. The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is an ongoing process of risk assessment and management with the purpose of ensuring that the operations of the company can continue if an event materializes. This BCP is intended to comply with the rules promulgated by the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE).

Our Business Continuity Plan

The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) intends to proactively address (prevent, if possible) and manage the consequences of a disaster, to the extent that the company can quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firms books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our Business Continuity Plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as if nothing had happened.

The Plan through a structured, systematic process attempts to manage all significant business risks proactively, by implementing appropriate preventative controls and other risk treatments. The risk management process is designed to reduce the residual risk of an event in terms of its likelihood of occurrence and or its consequences to an acceptable level. The BCP identifies the critical functions of the company and the resources required to support them. The plan also provides guidelines for ensuring that needed personnel and resources are available for both disaster preparation and response and that the proper steps will be carried out to permit the timely restoration of services.

The Firms comprehensive business continuity strategy is designed to enable us to meet our existing obligations to our clients and customers even in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption; however it is not infallible. The plan is designed to work in many different emergency situations; but these events are, by their nature, unpredictable and it is impossible to anticipate every scenario that could cause a business disruption. Furthermore, although we are confident in our own preparedness, NCB Capital Markets has no control over the various entities that we must rely upon in the event of an emergency. Our business continuity plans are tested periodically to ensure readiness; yet such tests may not be able to replicate the actual conditions we experience in a real emergency. This BCP is subject to change without notice. In the event that this BCP is modified, the updated document will be promptly posted on NCBCM's website.
