Financial Results Mr Schwiebus
Enterprise Risks 1. Delivering cost-effective services to the industry relative to derived benefits. • Risk - The PPECB operates within a statutory mandate that is defined by government. The current statutory inspection methodologies are human-intensive and do not necessarily entail risk. 2. Givinginternalandexternalstakeholdersaccesstoaccurateinformation. • Risk - Inaccurate information delivery may lead to industries (customers) making poor (marketing) decisions that may result in financial losses. 3. Executing strategic and operational plans and achieving organisational objectives with support from government and industry. • Risk - The PPECB is a national public entity with government imperatives, yet its funds and customers are from the private sector. Therefore, the PPECB’s customer base may have misaligned expectations.
Enterprise Risks (continued) 4. Objective - Ensuring that external stakeholders understand and support the role and value of the PPECB in the export industry. • Risk - Miscommunication of the PPECB’s role to its stakeholders and their consequent misunderstanding of it may lead to reputational damage of the organisation. 5. Making available sufficient human resource capacity and skills to effectively execute the PPECB’s mandate. • Risk - Losing valuable institutional knowledge and skills due to inadequate upskilling of a dynamic workforce, and being dependent on a large percentage of seasonal workers due to unavoidable, seasonal peaks.
