Risk Management

Risk Management is the process of measuring, or assessing risk and developing strategies to manage it.

“To be effective within an organisation, risk management should be an integrated part of the organisation's overall governance, management, reporting processes, policies, philosophy and culture.
The same risk management approach can be adopted for allactivities of an organisation including projects, defined functions, assets, and products or activities and will in turn strengthen the linkages between these activities and the organisation’s overall objectives.”
