Members Position
José Maria Soares Nunes President

Date and Local of Birth: April 11, 1958, in São Paulo, SP
Brief Professional Background: His career began at Banco Bradesco S.A. in June 1982, followed by a promotion to the position of Executive Superintendent in September 1998, which he held until September 2000. From September 2000 to August 2002, he served as of Director at Banco BCN S.A., a financial institution acquired by Banco Bradesco S.A. In August 2002, he was elected Department Director at Bradesco, working in the Tax Audit Department, and was responsible for activities related to tax and corporate matters, a position he held until June 2012. As Director of Tax Audit, the risk aspects of tax issues consisted of interpreting the legislation on direct and indirect taxes and assessing the proper way to handle operations carried out by the Organization, as well as the calculation and collection of taxes and their ancillary obligations. Nunes also managed the tax litigation of the Organization’s federal taxes, assessing the inherent risks, with the purpose of properly constituting accounting provisions. At the corporate level, he worked on applying legislation related to the matter on any and all corporate acts performed at the Bradesco Organization. The Tax Audit Department was created to maintain a group of tax and corporate experts to eliminate or mitigate risks in these areas. Indeed, the Organization has evolved remarkably in terms of compliance, methodology and internal controls. He also has experience as Departmental Director in the Operational Control Department (now Department of Business Operations), whose “back office” nature was created in an effort to take back office and control activities from the business areas. Its creation was based on the principle that “those who negotiate should not control”; in other words, there is a “Chinese wall” between these two macro-stages that the processes undergo, affording greater focus to the business areas. As such, the Department was conceived with the purpose of mitigating risks, especially those of an operational nature. Some of these activities include: Provision of information on the various financial assets, derivatives, currencies, commodities, shares, liabilities and indices by primary risk factor to generate reports and management bases used by the Treasury Department Tables and for the Risk Department; Development, maintenance, support and real-time management of ticketing systems and real-time monitoring of risks and P&L per trader (stop-loss, exposure size, counterparties and brokers authorized to operate, price tunnel and quotations); Calculation of the daily consolidated P&L of the Treasury; Calculation and provision of the Foreign Exchange Exposure in real time, closing and projection for the opening of D+1 to the Treasury; Assessment of the needs and processes required to include regulatory frameworks, financial management, registration, settlement with the Chambers and Systems of the Central Bank of Brazil, trading system, product system, management systems, contracts with customers, treatment of primary risk factors, accounting, treatment methodology for calculating the P&L, definition of data and/or reporting needs to meet the Treasury, including in relation to Assets Liabilities Management and Risk Department; Real-time management of the Bank Reserve Accounts of the Organization’s Institutions, including the set of known and expected inflows and outflows, as well as the proper maintenance of compulsory deposits with the Central Bank of Brazil; Daily liquidity calculation within regulatory parameters and established governance as support to the Treasury and provision of related data to the Risk Department; Composition of the calculation base, determination of the requirement and management of compliance for compulsory deposits on Cash Resources, Time Deposits and Savings Deposits with the Central Bank of Brazil; Ascertaining the calculation base and the amount to be collected from the Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC); Accounting/management reconciliation to support accounting, especially when closing trial balances and balance sheets. In March 2014, he was elected as a standing member of the Audit Committee of Banco Bradesco S.A., a position he currently holds, being, since 2022, coordinator of the Body.
