effective execution of its strategies to achieve those objectives.
These are uncertainties that can be obstacles preventing the company from attaining its desired
outcome. A desired outcome usually provides the company the opportunity to create value for its
various stakeholders.
▪ Accordingly, companies take risks when they see that there are opportunities that they want to seize
and, to some extent, exploit to create value.
Business Risk
What 4 are attributes of Business Risk
– Uncertain
– Emerging
– Associated more with intangibles (Tangible / Intangible)
– Sources (Internal / External)
note:
(Internal sources of risks: People, processes, technology, governance, and policy are much
EASIER to manage because these are usually within the control of management)
(External sources of risks, such as laws and regulations, market dynamics, and natural disasters, pose challenges to the company, as these are usually BEYOND the control of the organization)
What are 4 risk classifications system
According to:
- the nature of the attributes of the risk, such as timescale for impact, and the nature of the impact and/or likely magnitude of the risk.
- the timescale of impact after the event occurs.
- the source or origin of the risks.
- the nature of the impact of the risks.
what are 3 types of risk?
– hazards (or Pure) Risks (AKA absolute risk)
– Control (or UNcertainty) Risks
– Opportunity (Or Speculative) Risks
One of the types of risks
■Best and the longest-established branch of risk management.
■ Associated with a source of potential harm or a situation with the potential to undermine objectives in a negative way.
■ The most common risks associated with organizational risk management, including occupational health and safety programs.
– hazards (or Pure) Risks (AKA absolute risk)
One of the types of risks
■ Associated with unknown and unexpected events.
■ Sometimes referred to as extremely difficult to quantify.
■In this risk, it is known that the events will occur, but the precise consequences of those events are difficult to predict and control.
– Control (or UNcertainty) Risks
One of the types of risks
- This type of risk is often associated with project management.
– Control (or UNcertainty) Risks
One of the types of risks
■ May not be visible or physically apparent, and they are often financial in nature.
■ Although this risks are taken with the intention of having a positive outcome, this is not guaranteed.
■ this risks are for small businesses include moving a business to a new location, acquiring new property, expanding a business and diversifying into new products.
- Opportunity (or speculative) Risks
What are two main aspects of opportunity risks:
(1) risks/dangers associated with taking an opportunity
(2) risks associated with not taking the opportunity.
(Long, Medium, Short) Term Risks?
- are risks that will impact an organization several years, perhaps up to five years, after the event occurs or the decision is taken.
■ they relate to strategic decisions such as the risk associated with launching a new product.
Long Term
(Long, Medium, Short) Term Risks?
are risks that will impact an organization several years, perhaps up to five years, after the event occurs or the decision is taken.
■ they relate to strategic decisions such as the risk associated with launching a new product.
Medium term
(Long, Medium, Short) Term Risks?
■ risks have their impact immediately after the event occurs.
■ accidents at work, traffic accidents, fire and theft are examples of short-term risks that have an immediate impact and immediate consequences as soon as the event has occurred.
■they cause immediate disruption to normal efficient operations and are probably the easiest types of risks to identify and manage or mitigate.
Short term
It refers to the chances of an unlikely event happening, in risk management literature, the word “probability” will often be used to describe the likelihood of a risk materializing.
likelihood
It is the impact of the risk and can be considered as its gross or inherent level before controls are applied.
magnitude
it is a tool used to plot the nature of individual risks so that the organization can decide whether the risk is acceptable and within the risk appetite and/or risk capacity of the organization. It provides a visual representation of risks. It can also be used to indicate the likely risk control mechanisms that can be applied and to record the inherent, current (or residual), and target levels of the risk.
Risk Matrix
read only:
- Hazard risks undermines objective or may impede or prevent the achievement of the company’s objectives.
- Hazard risks when they materialize, will have a large impact on the organization such as potential financial costs, destruction of infrastructure, damage to reputation and the inability to function in the marketplace.
- Compliance risks can be substantial for many organizations, failure to achieve the level of compliance activities required by the relevant regulating body can have a significant impact on the reputation of the organization and substantial consequences for routine business activities.
- Risks can also impact the key dependencies that deliver the core processes of the organization.
- Risks are taken by organizations to achieve rewards.
