Introduction
Risk is virtually anything that threatens or limits the
ability of a community or nonprofit organisation to
achieve its mission.
It can be unexpected and unpredictable events such as
destruction of a building, the wiping of all your
computer files, loss of funds through theft or an injury
to a member or visitor who trips on a slippery floor and
decides to sue. Any of these or a million other things
can happen, and if they do they have the potential to
damage your organization, cost you money, or in a
worst case scenario, cause your organisation to close.

Operational Risk
An operational risk is, as the name suggests, a risk
arising from execution of a company's business
functions. It is a very broad concept which focuses on
the risks arising from the people, systems and
processes through which a company operates. It also
includes other categories such as fraud risks, legal
risks, physical or environmental risks.
Risk and Risk Management
Risk is a synonymous with uncertainty. Risk arises
because the future is unknown.

Risk Management
Risk management is a process of thinking systematically
about all possible risks, problems or disasters before
they happen and setting up procedures that will avoid
the risk, or minimize its impact, or cope with its impact.
It is basically setting up a process where you can identify
the risk and set up a strategy to control or deal with it.
Derivative contracts can be used to mange risk. Eg.

How is Risk Measured
- Risk Measurement
Random Variables

Probability distribution

Variance

Risk = Impact x Probability

* higher the variance , higher is the risk


Example
The heights (at the shoulders) are: 600mm, 470mm, 170mm, 430mm and
300mm.
Mean=394
Each dogs difference from mean
Standard Deviation (147mm)
Risk monitoring
Risk monitoring is the major element of risk management

Monitoring risk means to review it and update it


continuously.
Identify new risks as soon as possible
Decide where and how to handle that risk
Look for other risks that might be reduced or eliminated
and no longer need coverage
Check operating volumes - they change so that coverage
levels need to change...
Risk Management
The final step in the process is actually managing the
risk. This simply means management decision-making
when called for, based on the information that is
available.
Aspects of managing risk effectively are:
proper analytical tools must be used
proper risk monitoring capabilities
A risk-oriented mind set must exist in all employees.
A willingness to be proactive regarding risk
management, treating risk management as a business
partner, not simply part of a compliance function

Risk management is the identification, assessment,
and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and
economical application of resources to minimize,
monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of
unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of
opportunities.
