6. What is risk
“Effect of uncertainty on objectives”
Effect:
Positive
Negative
Deviation from the expected
Objectives:
Definition works best if the organisation has clear objectives
These need to be tested as part of risk management process
7. What is the best definition of risk?
Organisation Definition of risk
ISO Guide 73
ISO 31000
Effect of uncertainty on objectives. Note that an effect
may be positive, negative, or a deviation from the expected.
Also, risk is often described by an event, a change in
circumstances or a consequence
Institute of Risk
Management
(IRM)
Risk is the combination of the probability of an event and its
consequence. Consequences can range from positive to
negative
COSO – ERM
Integrated
Framework
The possibility that an event will occur and adversely affect the
achievements of objectives
From old
AS/NZ 4360:2004
The chance of something happening that will have an impact on
objectives
8. Definitions of risk management
Organisation Definition of risk management
ISO Guide 73
ISO 31000
Coordinated activities to direct and control an organisation
with regard to risk
Institute of Risk
Management (IRM)
Process which aims to help organisations understand,
evaluate and take action on all their risks with a view to
increasing the probability of success and reducing the
likelihood of failure
COSO – ERM
Integrated
Framework
A process affected by an entity’s board of directors,
management and other personnel, applied in strategy setting
and across the enterprise, designed to identify potential
events that may affect the entity, and manage risk to be
within its risk appetite, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the achievement of entity objectives.
13. What is Risk Management
Process which aims to help organisations
understand, evaluate and take action on all their
risks with a view to:
increasing the probability of success
and
reducing the likelihood of failure
18. For discussion…
What events can you
recall that support the
need for a structured
and systematic
approach to risk
management?
19. Consider the list of disasters identified.
Was this a failure of:
- prediction?
- prioritisation?
- mobilising resources?
For discussion....

stakeholders
- how powers are shared and exercised by directors
- how the holders of power are held accountable for what
they do

Compliance is the leadership processes that an
organisation establishes to comply with societal, trade,
professional and stakeholder needs
Examples include:
- law
- codes of practice
- contracts
- trade union agreements
- professional standards

46. Communication
– a continual and iterative process that an organisation
conducts to provide, share or obtain information and to
engage in dialogue with stakeholders
Consultation
– a two-way process of informed communication between an
organisation and its stakeholders on an issue prior to
making a decision or determining a direction on that issue
Stakeholders
– a person or organisation that can affect, be affected or
perceive themselves to be affected by a decision or activity
Communication and consultation
47. • help to establish the context appropriately
• stakeholders interests understood & considered
• risks adequately identified
• bring expertise together for risk analysis
• ensure different views are considered
• secure support for risk treatment plans
• enhance appropriate change management
• develop appropriate communication plans
Purpose of communication and consultation
48. Effective communication about risk
• comprehensive and frequent reporting of risk
management performance is an essential element of
organisational governance
• internal and external stakeholders
• communication is upwards, downwards and across the
organisation
• communicate on significant risks and risk management
performance
• how we communicate matters as much as what we
communicate
• link to effective relationship building and behaviours

• A risk is the effect of uncertainty on objectives
• A hazard is the source of potential harm (a hazard
can be a risk source)
• A risk source has the potential, alone or in
combination, to give rise to risk. We might also term
this cause
• An event is the occurrence or change of a particular
set of circumstances
• A consequence is the outcome of an event affecting
objectives

Risk
universe
Key terms
82. Risk appetite can be complex
– simplification can be attractive but can lead to
meaningless approaches
Needs to be measurable
– otherwise statements empty and useless
– key performance drivers need to be understood
– key risk and key control indicators need to be developed
Not a single fixed concept
– there may be a range of appetites within an organisation
– appetites may vary overtime influenced by changes in the
risk and control environment or the benefits to be gained
Key principles
83. Developed in the context of the organisation’s risk
management capability
– an understanding of risk appetite unlikely to emerge
before a level of risk management maturity reached
Must take into account strategic, tactical and
operational levels
– risk appetite needs to be addressed at all levels
Must be integrated into the control culture
– linked to both the propensity to take risk (often greater
at strategic level) and also the propensity to exercise
control (more prevalent at operational level)
Key principles
84. • prioritise risks in terms of their significance
• provide some consistency about the perception of
significance
• decide how to allocate scarce resources
• decide whether to proceed with a new strategy,
project or investment
• inform decisions on risk appetite
Why is risk analysis and evaluation
important?
85. Benchmark to determine significance
₋ Financial – sums involved
₋ Disruption – length of time
₋ Reputational - profile
88. Appetite – Healthy Eating

• Increased sales
• Cost EfficiencyHigh
• Lack of staff expertise &
training
• Inefficient admin/operations

• Not achieving value for money

Risk treatment
108. A process to modify risk (ISO 31000)
Risk treatment (or response) involves:
– the selection of one or more options for modifying
risks
– implementing those options
– the treatments then provide controls or modify current
controls
Controls include any process, policy, device, practice or other
actions which modify the risk
What is risk treatment?
109. Risk treatment is a cyclical process
Deciding
whether the
residual risk
level is
tolerable
Assessing
the
effectiveness
of that
treatment
Examine
cost and
benefit of the
treatment
If not
tolerable,
generating a
new risk
treatment
110. The purpose of risk treatment plans is to document how the
chosen treatment options will be implemented.
Information should include:
– a description of what the planned action is
– expected benefit(s) to be gained
– performance measurements and constraints
– accountabilities (risk owners and control owners)
– reporting and monitoring requirements
– resourcing requirements
– timing and scheduling
