Assessment Task 1 Instructions
1. Discuss the purpose of risk management standards. Include an example of a risk management
standard in your answer.
Answer:- The purpose of risk management is to identify potential problems before they occur so that risk-
handling activities may be planned managing them before they even affect the business. The ability to
manage risk will help companies act more confidently on future business decisions.
For example, A ski resort operator mitigates seasonal risk by investing in summer sports and recreational
facilities such as a water park.
2. Outline the AS/NZS ISO 31000: 2009 Risk Management Principles and Guidelines and each of the
11 principles.
Answer:-
Creates and protects value
Good risk management contributes to the achievement of an agency’s objectives through the continuous
review of its processes and systems.
Be an integral part of organisational processes
Risk management needs to be integrated with an agency’s governance framework and become a part of
its planning processes, at both the operational and strategic level.
Be part of decision making
The process of risk management assists decision makers to make informed choices, identify priorities and
select the most appropriate action.
Explicitly address uncertainty
By identifying potential risks, agencies can implement controls and treatments to maximise the chance of
gain while minimising the chance of loss.
Be systematic, structured and timely
The process of risk management should be consistent across an agency to ensure efficiency, consistency
and the reliability of results.
Based on the best available information
To effectively manage risk it is important to understand and consider all available information relevant to
an activity and to be aware that there may be limitations on that information. It is then important to
understand how all this information informs the risk management process.
Be tailored
An agency’s risk management framework needs to include its risk profile, as well as take into
consideration its internal and external operating environment.
Take into account human and cultural factors
Risk management needs to recognise the contribution that people and culture have on achieving an
agency’s objectives.
Be transparent and inclusive
Engaging stake holders, both internal and external throughout the risk management process recognises
that communication and consultation is key to identifying, analysing and monitoring risk.
Be dynamic, iterative and responsive to change
The process of managing risk needs to be flexible. The challenging environment we operate in requires
agencies to consider the context for managing risk as well as continuing to identify new risks that emerge,
and make allowances for those risks that no longer exist.
Facilitate the continual improvement of organisations
Agencies with a mature risk management culture are those that have invested resources over time and
are able to demonstrate the continual achievement of their objectives.
