Introduction
Managing risk is an inherent part of delivering organisational success today. A successful risk management program helps an organization consider the full range of risks it faces.
Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing and controlling threats to an organization’s capital and earnings. These risks stem from a variety of sources, including:
-
Financial uncertainties & strategic management errors
-
Legal liabilities & technology issues
-
Accidents and natural disasters
This holistic approach, often described as Enterprise Risk Management, examines the relationship between risks and the cascading impact they could have on an organization’s strategic goals.
