Risk Management Framework • CorProfit advocates, and KnowRisk supports a Framework: • That serves all functional areas • Works from Board to shop-floor • That integrates: • Risk • Audit • Compliance
Risks Conseq Controls Controls Assurance Risk Methods – The Core Set Context This “core” covers all risk assessments, it is generic. KnowRisk has brought a science together.
Action Plan Ctrls Ctrls Inh Res Inadequate Ctrls If High Inh Risks & Improve Acceptable Self Test Adequate Ctrls CSA & Audit • Audit – Independent Reviews
Inherent Risk Residual Risk Controls Methodology Risk reduction a balance of: • Likelihood • Magnitude Impact • Control Effectiveness Controls Fail (or Gaps) Effectiveness Retained Risk
Run Through Simplest Method • Run through the R.M. process • Add new User Defined field • Add new Key Word list • Apply filters / reports • Configure user screens Configure KnowRisk according to user roles. The ‘Simplest Method” is a broad-brush approach to populating a Risk Register
Explorer View Admin View User’s View Context Data Context • Select in tree / context window, displays data in window: • logical associations • logical sequence Risk Data R (Risk) Impact Data Q (Impact) C (Likelih Control) Control Data User Interface
Implementation of Risk – Compliance Solution • An ideal system delivers: • There are not many functions to learn • Once familiar in one area of the System, the same functionality and “look & feel” is available in all other areas • Training effort is low, particularly for richness in features and scope of methods covered.

Risk Assessment • Benefits of the scientific options to assessment: • Strategic risk management • Increasing accuracy • Integrate different strategies Gain the maximum risk mitigation for the least efforts
Controls Inherent Residual Strategic Risk Management • Start with Inherent to Residual levels R Before Controls Existing After Controls Q • Assessments at R level, view Q & C • Populates your Risk Register C C
Strategic Risk Management • Inherent to Residual levels
Controls Inherent Residual Target Next Stage Strategic Risk Management • Prioritise leads to Action Plan, set Targets R Controls After Existing Controls Improve Q C 1st Stage C • Work with small population Risks
Strategic Risk Management • Prioritise key risks, start aggregation
Strategic Risk Management • Set targets for Prevention • Similarly for Correction
Increasing Accuracy • Start with simplest approach (fewest fields, 8, but lots of risks, i.e. build Risk Register) • Prioritise risks, show target risk (add 5 fields, work with smaller population of risks) • Use ‘Global’ & ‘Relative’ impact values, start some semi-quantitative analysis • Start aggregation (add just 5 new fields) • Gap analysis in Controls, improve “Existing” effectiveness “To” (larger effort, smallest no. risks)
