OUTCOMES
▪ Describe the principles of risk evaluation.
▪ Summarize the factors to consider in risk analysis.
▪ Discuss the importance of risk evaluation to risk assessment.
WORDS TO REMEMBER
RISK EVALUATION is a process that is used
to compare risk analysis result with risk
criteria in order to determine whether or not a
specified level of risk is acceptable or tolerable.
RISK EVALUATION MATRIX is a
management tool which accurately assess
business exposure, based on the frequency and
severity of identified potential risk.
A. RISK ASSESSMENT
AND RISK EVALUATION
❖The purpose of risk evaluation
is to support decisions.
❖Risk evaluation involves
comparing the result of the risk
analysis with the established
risk criteria to determine where
additional action is required.

THIS CAN LEAD TO A DECISION TO:
• Do nothing further;
• Consider risk treatment options;
• Undertake further analysis to better
understand the risk;
• Maintain existing controls; and
• Reconsider objectives.

Risk Evaluation Matrix
❖Cuskelly and Auld (1989) suggest the
use of a risk evaluation matrix
containing four management response
options according to the level of
identified risk which include risk
retention, risk transfer, risk reduction,
and risk avoidance.

Risk Evaluation Matrix
❖ Wilks and Davis (2000) defined the
level of identified risk as follows:
Risk retention is where both the
frequency and severity of risk is low, risk is
often retain. This is a form of self-
insurance, whereby the business operator
assumes and accepts a certain level of
losses.

Risk Evaluation Matrix
❖ Wilks and Davis (2000) defined the
level of identified risk as follows:
Risk transfer is where the frequency of
risk potential is low, but the severity of a
potential incident is high, the most
common and traditional approach to risk
management is transferring responsibility
to other parties.

Risk Evaluation Matrix
❖ Wilks and Davis (2000) defined the
level of identified risk as follows:
Risk reduction is where the severity of
potential risk remains low, but the overall
frequency of risk is increasing business
operators need to consider ways of
reducing their exposure.

Risk Evaluation Matrix
❖ Wilks and Davis (2000) defined the
level of identified risk as follows:
Risk avoidance is where frequency and
severity of risk potential are both high,
business operators should consider
cancelling a program or activity.
