...Risk Management: Over the past decade, risk and uncertainty have increasingly become major issues which impact business activities. Many organizations are raising awareness to minimize the adverse consequences by implementing the process of Risk Management Framework which plays a significant role in mitigating almost all categories of risks. According to Ward (2005), the objective of risk management is to enhance a company’s performance. In particular, the importance of the framework is to assist top management in developing a sensible risk management strategy and program. In an effort to effectively use the risk management process frameworks, it is important to differentiate between risk and uncertainty. There is a tendency to claim that the process of the COSO framework and SHAMPU framework are more appropriate to further explain and deal with the issues of uncertainty and risk. This essay will first define risk and uncertainty. In the second section, it will introduce the process of two frameworks namely the COSO framework and the SHAMPU framework. It will evaluate the performance of the two different alternative risk management frameworks to distinguish different between risk and uncertainty. Finally, an opinion will be expressed if the effective use of risk management process frameworks depends upon an ability to differentiate between risk and uncertainty. Ward (2005) points out that different people have different viewpoints about risks and uncertainties. Some...

...ERM Paper Effective business management requires that organizational leaders balance risks with outcomes. This is necessary as without taking some risks, organizations will never be able to expand and grow in their industries. Unfortunately for many organizations, this balancing act is not strategized and as a result risks control the organization instead of the organization controlling the risks. To prevent this from happening it is necessary to engage what is known as Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) (Cheeseman, 2010). This essay will examine how ERM strategies can be used to mediate the effects of tort risks and violations. Potential Tort Risk The type of tort risk that was addressed in the simulation was injury to plaintiff, personal injury. Actual cause: Ms. Bates was claiming that if the Alumina Inc. situation had not occurred five years ago, then her daughter would not have leukemia. Special negligence doctrine: a tort that permits a person to recover for emotional distress caused by the defendant’s negligent conduct. Negligence Per Se: Violation of a statue that causes an injury, statue was enacted to prevent injury. Strict Liability (Rationale): The activities of Alumina Inc. five years ago did place the public at risk, even though reasonable care was taken. These tort risks would be classified as Unintentional Torts (Cheeseman, H. R., 20120). The simulation also presented some other tort risk. The tort risk would have been a result of Alumina Inc., counter...

...on IT risk February 2010 Top privacy issues for 2010 Information serves as an integral part of most business processes. Organizations cannot survive without information and the supporting systems, third parties and manual activities that collect, derive, process, store and make available the information. Organizations rely on information and, therefore, are at risk when the information is degraded. In addition, information often imposes obligations to the organization, whether because a law or regulation requires it, or fiduciary duty demands it. Enterprise governance, risk and compliance (GRC) represents the actions that an organization takes to achieve its performance objectives and manage risk. This includes information risk and the organization’s obligations over the information it owns, produces, uses and makes available to others. Organizations use different kinds of information — financial, business, intellectual property, etc. — each with its own unique governance, risk and compliance considerations. Personal information is one such information category, and in this publication we take a closer look at the specifics of personal information and privacy risk. Insights on IT risk — February 2010 1 Introduction to privacy risk management and compliance This document introduces the related topics of privacy risk management and compliance, describes how they must be addressed integrally to be effectively managed, discusses how effective management can lead...

...Question 1: These terms are all related to project management (PM) in terms of consequences, probability and the time frame of a project in the sense that issues, problems, opportunities, and risks are partially related to consequencesand different in the probability of their occurrence to achieve the objectives of PM in a given project, when identified, analyzed, assessed (prioritized), monitored and controlled effectively (Berg, 2010; Kerzner, 2009). Explicitly, risk is associated with a lack of knowledge of future events such as “opportunities and problems”that have potentials of establishing gains, losses, and issues which could be resolved (Kerzner, 2009; Quality gurus, 2013). It is also important to note that a problem or issue can occur while a risk hasn’t, in other words risk should be characterized by probability (Bowman 1983; Kerzner, 2009). Opportunities on the other hand are events(predictable or unpredictable) that have potentials to yield positive impact or benefit; reduced negative outcomes; and outcomes better than expected if risk is taken towards them, therefore this depicts “that risk and opportunities are not mirror images of each other, either in definition or gains and loss” (Kerzner, 2009, p.745) but may partially correlate; and thatthe outcome of opportunities are vague in the measure of consequence, its probability, and the time of occurrence. Issues are results of risk already taken resulting to a potential negative impact...

...RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDE FOR DOD ACQUISITION Sixth Edition (Version 1.0) [pic] AUGUST, 2006 Department of Defense Preface The Department of Defense (DoD) recognizes that risk management is critical to acquisition program success (see the Defense Acquisition Guidebook (DAG), Section 11.4). The purpose of addressing risk on programs is to help ensure program cost, schedule, and performance objectives are achieved at every stage in the life cycle and to communicate to all stakeholders the process for uncovering, determining the scope of, and managing program uncertainties. Since risk can be associated with all aspects of a program, it is important to recognize that risk identification is part of the job of everyone and not just the program manager or systems engineer. That includes the test manager, financial manager, contracting officer, logistician, and every other team member. The purpose of this guide is to assist DoD and contractor Program Managers (PMs), program offices and Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) in effectively managing program risks during the entire acquisition process, including sustainment. This guide contains baseline information and explanations for a well-structured risk management program. The management concepts and ideas presented here encourage the use of risk-based management practices and suggest a process to address program risks without prescribing specific methods or tools....

...Use of Derivatives in Risk Management Teresa Fritz Ashford University Managerial Financial BUS 650 Dr. Wendy Achilles April 2, 2012 Use of Derivatives in Risk Management Risk management is in a company’s wonders all the time, the managers need to watch closely at all times to stay on top to make sure they have time to react to a risk that may arise. By using derivatives management may be putting their company at risk and need to know the common risks that are involved and know how to avoid them. Ten of the failures are poor governance and tone at the top, reckless risk taking, inability to implement enterprise risk management, nonexistence, ineffective or inefficient risk assessment, falling prey to Herd Mentality, misunderstanding the mindset of “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it”, accepting a lack of transparency in high-risk areas, nit integrating risk management with strategy-setting and performance management, ignoring the dysfunctionalities and blind spots of the organizations culture, and not involving the board in a timely manner (Beaumier, DeLoach). The derivatives that are used for risk management are interest rate derivatives such as interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, basic swaps, and rate lock (Kelly). All companies should have a policy that states derivatives can only be used for risk management purposes and not for speculating interest rate movements (Kelly). Derivatives used for risk management can be a good thing and can also be a risky...

...Guidelines for Risk Management Process Review The purpose of risk management is to identify potential problems before they occur so that risk-handling activities may be planned and invoked as needed across the life of the product or project to mitigate adverse impacts on achieving objectives. Risk management is a continuous, forward-looking process that is an important part of business and technical management processes. Risk management should address issues that could endanger achievement of critical objectives. A continuous risk management approach is applied to effectively anticipate and mitigate the risks that have critical impact on the project. Effective risk management includes early and aggressive risk identification through the collaboration and involvement of relevant stakeholders. Strong leadership across all relevant stakeholders is needed to establish an environment for the free and open disclosure and discussion of risk. Although technical issues are a primary concern both early on and throughout all project phases, risk management must consider both internal and external sources for cost, schedule, and technical risk. Early and aggressive detection of risk is important because it is typically easier, less costly, and less disruptive to make changes and correct work efforts during the earlier, rather than the later, phases of the project. Risk management can be divided into three parts: defining a risk management strategy; identifying and analyzing risks; and handling...
