Study Notes
Risk Management Introduction
- Risk can lead to losses, but also to gains.
- Two main elements: probability/uncertainty and consequences.
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines risk as "Effect of uncertainty on objectives."
- Oxford English Dictionary (OED) defines risk as "Exposure to the possibility of loss, injury, or other adverse circumstances."
- Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary defines risk as "The possibility of something bad happening."
- Uncertainty is a future event that may or may not happen and its probability can only be estimated.
- Uncertainty can prevent or delay the achievement of organizational objectives.
- Hazard/threat is an uncertain event with a negative outcome.
- Managing risk involves using strategies to reduce the probability or impact of negative events.
- "Downside risk" in investments is the negative outcome.
- "Upside risk" is the opportunity for positive outcome beyond expectations.
- Key components of risk include probability/likelihood of uncertainty, uncertain future events, and impact/consequences.
Types of Risks
- Dynamic/speculative risks are caused by economic changes and can lead to gains or losses. These risks are not insurable.
- Static/pure risks are limited to the chance of a loss or maintaining the status quo. These risks are insurable.
Risk Categories/Universe
- Financial risk, ICT/Cyber risk, Operational risk, Strategic risk, Reputation risk, and Compliance risk.
- External risk is outside the organization's control; includes disasters (earthquakes, wildfires, floods, pandemics), trends, and economy.
- Managing external risks involves timely monitoring and contingency planning (BCP, DRP) and increasing risk awareness.
- Strategic risk is where strategy becomes less effective.
Operational Risk
- Operational risk results from failed or inappropriate policies, systems, or procedures, both technical and human factors.
- Areas of concern include system failures, poor service delivery, inadequate planning, health & safety issues, and staff skill limitations.
- Management involves understanding business processes and seeking expert advice.
Compliance and Legal Risk
- Important laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements apply to all organizations (Environment, Safety and health at work, Food safety, licenses and permits, GDPR).
- Managing involves understanding business practices and consulting experts.
Reputation Risk
- Risk that organizational actions threaten its image and reputation.
- Management entails responding to negative events or publicity.
ICT and Cybercrime Risk
- Risk associated with the use of information and communication technology (ICT), data security and network security.
- Data protection, privacy, IT fraud, phishing, industrial espionage, and hacking are serious threats.
Financial Risk
- Risks related to financial operations including: Credit risk (party failure), Currency risk (exchange rate fluctuations), Interest rate risk, and Liquidity risk (funding trouble).
Risk Appetite
- The amount or level of risk an organization is willing to accept, tolerate, or expose itself to in business activities.
- Risk appetite guides risk measures and controls.
- Understanding risk appetite involves considering acceptable growth, return, and risk trade-off levels.
Risk Measurement
- Risk measurement quantifies risks to an organization.
- Risks are identified, described, and mapped, and are determined using probability and impact factors.
Risk Analysis
- A method for quantifying specified risks (risk = probability x consequence).
- Steps include identifying, describing, and mapping risks and determining their probability and impact.
Risk Management Approach
- Four Critical Steps: Identification, Assessment, Mitigation, and Review/Control. This process focuses on identifying risks, assessing their impact and likelihood, determining appropriate mitigation strategies, and monitoring implemented controls over time.
Stakeholder Risk Analysis
- Involves different stakeholders (internal/external) during risk analysis.
- Useful for a thorough risk analysis.
- Steps include: preparation, risk policy review, risk identification, risk analysis, articulating mitigation efforts, and reporting conclusions and recommendations.
Risk Identification Methodologies
- Tools include Checklist, Brainstorming, Interviews, etc.
- Risk Register is a tool that facilitates the recording of risks.
Risk Analysis Tools
- Including Fishbone diagram (cause and effect), Error Tree analysis (root cause), Quantitative analysis, and Qualitative analysis.
Risk Scoring
- Probability of risk occurrence and impact of event occurrence are utilized in determining the overall risk score.
- Probability and impact scores are used in risk matrices to prioritize risks and risk measures.
Risk Response: How to Deal With Risks
- Choosing appropriate responses based on the risk analysis's findings.
- Methods such as avoidance, reduction (or mitigation), transfer or acceptance.
Articulating Measures
- Determining appropriate measures and articulating them within a risk register.
- Includes description of measures, causes, owner, probability, impact, risk measure, cost, deadline, and accountability.
Insurance
- Contract that indemnifies(protects) one party against specified loss/contingency.
- Insurance coverage protects against risks (e.g., fire, theft), based on contracts with insurance providers.
Transfer of Risks
- Transferring risk with agreements/contracts and insurable risks.
- Not all risks are insurable (dynamic/speculative risks).
