What is risk and risk management?
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
What is the best definition of risk? Organisation Definition of risk ISO Guide 73 ISO 31000 Institute of Risk Management (IRM) COSO ERM Integrated Framework From old AS/NZ 4360:2004 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 Risk is the combination of the probability of an event and its consequence. Consequences can range from positive to negative The possibility that an event will occur and adversely affect the achievements of objectives The chance of something happening that will have an impact on objectives
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.

Communication and consultation
Communication and consultation Establish the context Risk assessment Communicate and consult Identify risks Analyse risks Evaluate risks Monitor and review Treat risks Reproduced from ISO 31000:2009
Communication and consultation 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
Purpose of communication and consultation 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
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

Establishing the context External context what does the world around us look like? what are the drivers and trends? Internal context what are our objectives? what is our capacity? what are our business processes? how do we make decisions? Context of the risk management process what is the process expected to achieve? who will be responsible? what resources will be required? Defining risk criteria what determines whether a risk is acceptable? what determines whether a risk should be controlled? how can we measure our total risks?

Some risk terminology 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 Source: ISO Guide 73:2009 Session 2 Communication & consultation Establish the context Risk assessment Risk appetite and tolerance Risk treatment Business continuity management Monitoring & review

Risk evaluation - risk appetite and tolerance
Objectives The Risk Process Identify Tools Set appetite Zero Low Medium High Impact Assess Likelihood Treatment Tolerate Treat Transfer Terminate Ongoing monitoring Audit & Report Incidents Re-assess
Key terms Risk appetite the amount of risk an organisation is willing to seek or accept in pursuit of its long-term objectives Risk tolerance the boundaries of risk taking outside of which the organisation is not prepared to venture in pursuit of its long-term objectives Risk universe the full range of risks which could impact, either positively or negatively, on the ability of the organisation to achieve its long-term objectives
Risk appetite can be complex simplification can be attractive but can lead to meaningless approaches Needs to be measurable Key principles 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 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)
Why is risk analysis and evaluation important? 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
Benchmark to determine significance Financial sums involved Disruption length of time Reputational - profile

Risk treatment Establish the context Risk assessment Communicate and consult Identify risks Analyse risks Evaluate risks Monitor and review Treat risks Reproduced from ISO 31000:2009
What is risk treatment? 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
Risk treatment is a cyclical process Examine cost and benefit of the treatment Deciding whether the residual risk level is tolerable Assessing the effectiveness of that treatment If not tolerable, generating a new risk treatment
Risk treatment plans (action plans) 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

Embedding risk management Group Discussion Think back to previous case histories discussed - why did the established controls systems fail? what do the case studies tell us about the risk culture of the organisation? what are the critical factors for embedding risk management?
Embedding risk management Visible commitment from the top articulated and endorsed through a policy and framework for managing risk lead through actions risk-based decision making, aligned with strategic objectives clear understanding of the risks to the business. Set risk tolerance and risk appetite active support and adequate resource for risk management initiatives assurance on status of key risks (KRI s) and controls (KCI s) sought and followed through
Embedding risk management An organisational framework to ensure clearly defined responsibility and accountability training for all relevant stakeholder groups to raise awareness of benefits, establish responsibilities and improve skills in management of risk ownership clearly established for risks and key controls clearly defined lines for reporting and communication
Embedding risk management Integration into management processes ensure the benefits for business and resource planning are clearly established through integration with the normal business planning processes integrate into performance management system and establish KPI s integrate with reporting and review systems, including internal audit include development of risk management skills within leadership and management development programmes
Purpose of a risk management policy clear and concise outline of the organisation s requirements providing uniformity and consistency in the risk management process across all operations provides a high level overview and description of the risk management process Session 3
The policy should be developed and owned at board level developed with consideration as to how compliance with the policy will be monitored reviewed regularly annual review Session 3
What will ERM deliver? Group exercise who are your key stakeholders? what do you hope the ERM process will deliver to you and to your key stakeholders?
So what will risk management do for me? The elevator pitch 5 a framework for control 4 better informed decision making 3 reduced volatility 2 improved stakeholder relationships 1 protection of company assets
And finally The greatest risk is to take no risk at all, because if we don t take risks there s no advancement, there s no progress and there s no profitability. Kevin Knight Chairman, ISO working group on risk management standards
