Oversight of the key risks is reported within the monthly Board reports and compliance with the internal controls is reviewed by the independent internal audit function, which reports to the Audit Committee. In addition, the Company is developing a robust sanctions risk management system. EVRAZ continues to undertake actions in order to extend its debt maturity profile and lower short-term external funding needs, as well as to proactively manage the remaining portion of debt subject to maintenance covenants. Liquidity risk is managed through revisiting capital expenditure plans, cost optimisation programmes and continued asset portfolio rationalisation, and by pro-active liability management and revision of the Company's dividend policy. The EVRAZ treasury management team and the directors regularly review all funding requirements and exposures.

 Business interruption                                                Prolonged outages or production delays, especially in coal mining, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating performance, production, financial     The Company has defined and established disaster recovery procedures which are subject to regular review. Business interruptions in mining mainly relate to production safety. Measures to mitigate these risks include methane monitoring and degassing systems, timely mining equipment maintenance, employee safety training and development of geodynamic monitoring systems. Detailed analysis of causes of incidents is performed in order to develop and implement preventative actions. Records of minor interruptions are reviewed to identify any more significant underlying issues.
