Corporate governance

Corporate governance constitutes one of the fundamental pillars of our operational approach. We believe that a robust and transparent governance system is essential to guarantee the sustainability, accountability, and long-term success of our institution.

Guber Banca adopts a traditional governance framework, designed to ensure operational efficiency and effective controls in line with sound and prudent management principles. Our model is founded on constructive dialogue between the governance bodies, particularly among those appointed by the shareholders’ meeting, such as the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors. In pursuit of its growth objectives, the Bank has appointed a General manager, who contributes to the executive function undertaken by the Board of Directors, as well as a Deputy General Manager, who assumes the responsibilities of the General Manager in the event of absence or incapacity.

The internal control system plays a central role, representing a fundamental component in safeguarding corporate risks and promoting a shared culture of risk awareness, integrity, and corporate values across the organisation. Within the internal control system, the Control Functions, which report to the Board of Directors, comprise Risk Management, the Compliance function, the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) function, Internal Audit, and the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Information Security Risk function.
