…the absence of certainty in a future
or current event defines the risk of such
event…

…thus, standard deviation is an
appropriate measure of risk…
www.derekhendrikz.com
…as the level of risk increases the expected return
should increase…(Corporate Finance Theory)

Level of Risk = Level of Uncertainty
doubt creates uncertainty

www.derekhendrikz.com
when it becomes difficult to predict the outcome of
an specific event, uncertainty exist www.derekhendrikz.com
imperfect knowledge is therefor the
origin of uncertainty www.derekhendrikz.com
risk management is dependent on the information
that one has to evaluate the likelihood of outcomes
and one’s ability to evaluate such www.derekhendrikz.com
Management

Meaning of Risk Management

• Risk Management is a process that


identifies loss exposures faced by an
organization and selects the most
appropriate techniques for treating such
exposures
• A loss exposure is any situation or
circumstance in which a loss is possible,
regardless of whether a loss occurs
– E.g., a plant that may be damaged by an
earthquake, or an automobile that may be
damaged in a collision

Objectives of Risk Management

• Risk management has objectives


before and after a loss occurs
• Pre-loss objectives:
– Prepare for potential losses in the most
economical way
– Reduce anxiety
– Meet any legal obligations

managing uncertainty related to a
threat…

*RMS:…a sequence of human activities including
risk assessment, strategies development to
manage it, and mitigation of risk using
managerial resources…
*RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES m
…risk management strategies include transferring the
risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reducing the
negative effect of the risk, and accepting some or all of
the consequences of a particular risk.…
Risks can be both internal – arising from
within the organisation – and external –
arising from the context or environment of the
organisation. www.derekhendrikz.com
risk management decreases obstacles to
achievement of corporate objectives, growth
and the maximization of shareholders wealth

The Risk Management Process:
Step 1: Risk Identification
 Analyse the project to identify sources of risk

New Risks
Known Risks

Step 2: Risk Assessment


Assess risk in terms of:
 Severity of impact
 Likelihood of occurring
 Controllability

New Risks Quantified Risk

Step 3: Risk Response Development


 Develop a strategy to reduce possible damage
 Develop contingency plans

Managed Risk
New Risks
Step 4: Risk Response Control
 Implement risk strategy
 Monitor and adjust plan for new risks
 Change management
