Risk Management

Management
Risk
management is the process of identifying any potential threats that may occur
during the investment process and doing anything possible to mitigate or
eliminate those dangers.
Identify Potential Risks
Spend
time identifying the specific risks faced by your own business. While some
risks are universal, others may only apply to certain sectors or demographics.
Involve key stakeholders from each area of your business to ensure that every
aspect is covered.
Conduct Risk Analysis
Once
you have identified your business risks, you will need to analyse their
potential impact and their likelihood of occurring. This will help you to
classify and prioritise which risks to treat as urgent when it comes to
planning any preventative measures.
Identify Warning Signs & Agree KRI’s
A
key part of preventing risks from occurring is to be able to spot when they’re
about to happen. Identify any triggers or warning signs for each risk and
ensure that these are documented too. At this point, you should also agree the
stage at which further action is required once these warning signs have been
identified.
Identify Preventative Measures
Of
course, no risk management plan would be complete without identifying measures
that you and your business will take in order to prevent the risks that you’ve
highlighted. Using the analysis that you’ve completed and the KRI’s you’ve
agreed, now it’s time to actually plan how and when you will put preventative
measures in place.
Assign Responsibility
Lastly, each risk that you have identified should be assigned an owner.
Usually, the owner will work in whichever area the risk most relates to and
they will be accountable for ensuring that any processes laid out in the risk
management plan are carried out. They will also be responsible for maintaining
records and analysis that can be used to regularly review the risk and its
priority in the plan.
