internal control human Resources
at the end of 2009, the number of full-time equivalent employees (fte) in the various
internal control function components was as follows:
2006 2007 2008
second-level permanent controls
— the number of ftes working in the
compliance function (excluding
Poc) jumped 4.5% to stand at 904
(excluding fortis), at end-december
2009. this slower increase compared
to previous years is explained
by degree of maturity achieved by
the compliance system. However, in
view of the new compliance issues,
this number should stand, on a likefor-like
basis, at 950 fte at 2010 yearend.
with the enlarged scope of the
new group, compliance counted
1,120 fte (excluding Poc) at 2009
year-end.
— the “Permanent operational control”
entity (also called “oversight of
Permanent operational control –”
2oPc) created following the merger
in 2007 of the Permanent control and
operational risk teams, coordinates
the implementation of the approach
in the different group entities and
counted 637 fte at 2009 year-end. this
figure includes the head teams in the
core businesses, business lines and
functions but excludes the resources
dedicated to accounting internal
control and the numerous teams of
specialised controllers throughout the
group. with the teams of bnP Paribas
fortis, Permanent operational control
counted 760 fte at 2009 year-end.

(1) The Permanent Control / Operational Risk merger having become effective in 2008, the new scope of the “Permanent

Operational Risk and Business Continuity Planning coordination teams.
(2) Before the restatements referred to below.
— at the end of 2009, grm totalled
950 fte. the year was marked by
the transfer to the group financedevelopment
function of the consolidated
periodic reporting process
for credit risk. in addition, grm continued
to bolster its resources with an
additional thirty persons, essentially
in the scope of the rcm (risk capital
market) and ris (operational risk of the
“investment solutions” core business)
departments.
the teams of the “risk” function at
bnP Paribas fortis represent approximately
2,000 fte of which 924 fte
for belgium (budgetary estimate at
31 december 2009) and 1,066 fte
worldwide (current budget estimate).
following the integration, a substantial
portion of this headcount should be
classified outside the risk function.
