Purpose of Risk Assessment
- Identify potential risks and their likelihood of occurrence
- Evaluate the potential impact of each risk on the organization

Importance of Risk Assessments
- Identify potential risks before they occur
- Enable proactive decision-making and planning
- Help allocate resources effectively to mitigate risks
- Reduce the likelihood of unforeseen events disrupting operations
Quantitative Method
- Involves assigning numerical values to risks and their likelihood
- Uses data and statistical methods to estimate risk levels
- Provides a precise measurement of risk
- Helps identify risks with the highest potential impact
Qualitative Method
- Involves evaluating risks based on non-numerical criteria
- Uses descriptive scales (e.g. high, medium, low) to assess risk levels
- Faster and less expensive than quantitative method
