Basic concepts of risk management
08
► Fundamental concept of tolerable risk:
• “Risk which is accepted in a given context based on the
current values of the society”
• “Risk that has been reduced to a level that can be
endured by the organisation, having regard to its legal
obligations and own risk management policy”
Tolerable risk
Unacceptable
Tolerable
Broadly
acceptable
Risk cannot be
justified except in
extraordinary
circumstances
Organization is
prepared to accept
risk in order to
secure benefits
Risk regarded as
insignificant – Further
efforts to reduce risk
not required

► Risk:
• “Effect of uncertainty on objectives”.
► Uncertainty:
• “State or condition that involves a deficiency of information”
► Risk is understood as:
• “Combination of the likelihood and consequences of a
specific hazardous event occurring”

► Likelihood = Probability
• Likelihood is usually estimated on assumptions
• Probability is more likely to be subject to calculations
• Likelihood can be expressed qualitatively or quantitatively
• Probability is usually expressed quantitatively
► Probability:
• “Relation between the population of conducive events
and all events”
Likelihood or Probability

► Risk treatment:
• Process to modify risk
• Manipulating of likelihood or consequences

Of course, likelihood is more likely to be able to be manipulated, to limit consequences.

Risk Identification
Processes involved in risk risk assessment
Risk identification is a process that involves finding, recognizing,
and describing the risks that could affect the achievement of
an organization’s objectives. It is used to identify possible sources
of risk in addition to the events and circumstances that could affect
the achievement of objectives. It also includes the identification
of possible causes and potential consequences.
The organization can use historical data, theoretical analysis,
informed opinions, expert advice, and stakeholder input to identify
its risks.

Risk Analysis
Processes involved in risk risk assessment
Risk analysis is a process that is used to understand the nature,
sources and causes of the risks that the organization has identified
and to estimate the level of risk. It is also used to study impacts and
consequences and to examine the controls that currently exist.
How detailed the organization’s risk analysis ought to be will depend
upon the risk, the purpose of the analysis, the information they have
and the resources available.
