Risk management
Organisations can face a wide range of risks that may jeopardise their ability to achieve their objectives. The consequences of inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or of external events should not be underestimated and can have a devasting effect on a business. It is a business necessity to put in place frameworks, processes, controls and provide training to manage risk by minimising the occurrence and effects of events and threats faced by an organisation. Ultimately effective risk management will:
- improve the identification of opportunities and threats
- further develop the governance and control frameworks within a business
- help organisations operate efficiently and contribute to improved performance
- aid decision making and planning by accounting for uncertainty and assessment of actions that may or may not be taken
