Risk Management Frameworks
A framework is used as a guide in formulating a company's
risk management process
The two leading risk management frameworks today;
-ISO 31000-Risk Management
-COSO Enterprise Risk Management
ISO 31000 - Risk Management
- 1S0 31000 follows a structured approach toward the systematic
application of management policies and procedures to the activities
of communication, consulting, establishing the context, and
identifying, analyzing, evaluating, treating, monitoring, and
reviewing risk.
The steps under ISO 31000 are summarized below:
Identification of all risks that could prevent the company
from achieving its business objectives.
Analysis of risk including an understanding of its causes and
effects.
Determination whether identified risks are tolerable or not.
Treatment of significant risks by way of mitigating
procedures and thereby reducing the impact and/or the
likelihood of the risks.
Monitoring risk management strategy and implementation to
determine gaps that should be addressed.
Communication of information pertaining to the risk
management process of the company.
COSO Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) - Provides a
comprehensive approach to risk management across the
organization that helps organizations integrate risk management
into their overall strategy, so they can achieve their objectives
while handling potential risks effectively.
