Likelihood Rating Criteria Probability


Almost certain 5 It is expected to happen. Will certainly happen this fiscal 80% to 100% or once a year or more
year or during the three year period of the Service Plan. frequently

Likely 4 We expect it to happen. It would be surprising if this did 61% to 79% or once every 3 yrs
not happen.
Possible 3 Just as likely to happen as not. We don't expect it to 40% to 60% or once every 5 yrs
happen, but there is a chance.
Unlikely 2 Not anticipated. We won't worry about it happening. 11% to 39% or once every 15 years

Almost certain not to happen 1 It would be surprising if this happened. There would 0 to 10% or once every 25 yrs
have to be a combination of unlikely events for it to
happen.

Consequence Rating Criteria / Examples

Catastrophic 5 - Significant damage to ministry credibility or integrity.

Executive notification.
Minor 2

- Stakeholder or client would take note.

- Can be dealt with internally at the branch level.


- No escalation of the issue required.

RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS: OVERVIEW

1. The CONTEXT defines the scope and objectives of the


risk management exercise. See tab 3 for details.

2. IDENTIFY risks by asking ,"What could occur that would


have an impact on our objectives?" Risks have three key
elements: Event, causes, impacts.

3. Risks ANALYSIS involves ranking the likelihood and


consequence using a 1-5 scale See tab 2 for guidance.

4. In order to EVALUATE risks the group reviews the


effectiveness and appropriateness of currents controls and
determines what action to take, if any.

5. Risk TREATMENT is the activity (s) you are going to


implement to better manage your exposures. Your
mitigations will reduce the likelihood and/or consequence
of the risk event occurring.
