Risk Management Policy
What is a Risk Management Policy?
A Risk Management Policy is a structured framework that outlines an organization’s approach to identifying, assessing, and managing risks. It sets the foundation for risk governance, ensuring that risks are handled consistently across all departments. The policy defines risk appetite, roles, responsibilities, and procedures for mitigating potential threats while aligning with business objectives and regulatory requirements.
Key Components of a Risk Management Policy:
- Purpose & Scope – Defines why the policy exists and which areas of the business it covers.
- Risk Governance Structure – Establishes roles and responsibilities for risk management.
- Risk Identification & Assessment – Details how risks are identified, measured, and categorized.
- Risk Appetite & Tolerance – Sets acceptable levels of risk based on organizational strategy.
- Risk Mitigation & Controls – Describes methods to reduce, transfer, or accept risks.
- Monitoring & Reporting – Outlines processes for tracking risks and updating policies as needed.
- Compliance & Regulations – Ensures alignment with legal and industry requirements.
