Task 1
Assessment Instructions
For the case study provided with this Assessment Task, you are required to review risk management
processes and determine scope and objectives, taking into account stakeholder input and both
internal and external environmental factors affecting the organisation. With the information gathered,
you are to identify risks and present this to relevant parties for feedback.
Procedure
For the provided case study, you will assume the role of the risk manager/assessor, and you are
required to review the provided Woolworths Risk Management Policy and complete a written report
for your manager (your assessor) that addresses the following steps.
1. Scope – Identify the scope of risk management required in your identified role.
2. Goals – Identify and describe the critical success factors, goals or objectives for areas
included in scope.
3. Stakeholders – Identify internal and external stakeholders, their role in the process, and any
issues or concerns they have. Present this using the table format provided.
4. Analysis – Complete a PEST analysis and a SWOT analysis for risks associated with the
scenario.
5. Research – Review and summarise the research information provided in the case study, as
well as any literature available that is relevant to this scenario.
6. Describe – Complete the analysis of risk for the scenario by summarising the scenario and
associated risks, accompanied by checklists, diagrams or flowcharts that support the
summary.
After you have completed the above steps, you need to meet with your manager and discuss the draft
report you have developed, especially your understanding of the critical success factors and goals
(you should check that your manager agrees with your findings).
As part of your discussions you also need to discuss and identify how you can communicate with
stakeholders about the risk management processes in this scenario and invite them to participate in
discussions to further identify risks associated with the scenario.
7. Summarise: In dot-point form, summarise the discussions with your manager.
This should include any recommendations they made to you.
8. Develop: a draft of the communication your manager suggested you use for consultation with
stakeholders.
If they suggested a phone call, you should include a draft script of information that you
need to share with stakeholders.
Whatever the form of communication, it must clearly ask stakeholders for input, and
invite them to assist in the identification of risk for this scenario.
When submitting the report and accompanying documents, you need to ensure that:
• your report is titled ‘Risk review’
• your report is in order, with attachments on the back of your report as follows
• it includes notes from meeting with your manager
• it includes draft communication
• your report is submitted as required by your organisation (your training provider).
2. Scope:
The areas of the scope of the risk management are:
• Cash Management
• Policies and procedure in document form and easily accessible by all employees
• Ensuring compliance
• Assessing the impact of external factors
• Risk in relation to functions human resources management, financial operations,
OHS, supply chain, local governance and compliance issues.
3. Goals:
Setting goals is one of the most essential part for the risk management plan. Goals must be
aligned with the policies of the company. Some of the goals for MacVille Pty Ltd are:
• Expanding customer base by providing quality customer service
• Increase the number of stores across Australia
• To encourage the new manager to give ongoing support for risk management
• To ensure a smooth transition to the MacVille systems
• To manage the risks involved with the operations of store
4. Stakeholders:
5. Analysis:
Risk analysis is the stage where the level of the risk and its nature are assessed. We have 2
different types of risk analysis method:
• PEST Analysis: A PEST Analysis is an effective tool for investigating and external
environmental factors. PEST stands for Political, Economic, Social and Technological.
o Political: Political factors could impact the organisation such as government
stability, tax policy, changes in the political environment, regulation and de-
regulation trends.
o Economical: Economical factors that impact the organisations are labour cost,
dealing with banks and borrowing from the banks, etc.
o Social: Social attitudes, behaviours and trends that impact on the organization
such as population growth rate, social mobility, etc.
o Technological: Technology that can affect the products and services such as
new equipment updates, new system to record wages and superannuation,
etc.
• SWOT matrix: A SWOT analysis can be carried out for the products or services for
the organization. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and
Threats.
o Strengths: Strengths of the organization depends on good location of the
business, increasing population of the area, competitors near the
organization, etc.
o Weaknesses: Weakness of the organization depends on the time of food
delivery, no written policy and procedures, improper use of water, no proper
security systems, etc.
o Opportunities: Opportunities are the chances for something positive to happen
for the organization. It is depend on easy access to travel, central location of
the store, etc.
o Threats: Threats include that can negatively affect the business from the
outside. It depends on introduction of legislation that backs up the local by-law
concerning efficient water usage, representatives of a large international chain
of coffee shops making enquiries around the town about opening store in the
Toowoomba CBD.
6. Research:
• After the research, it ahs been found that the two hour delivery would make fresh
pastry deliveries from the company’s central bakery plant impractical.
• Regarding the population and age research, it has been found that the café is
attracting a large percentage of retirees because of its easy access to the buses and
the stores central location.
• There were opportunities for opening more cafes in the surrounding shopping centre.
• After the research of upcoming laws and policies revealed that the current law was
due for implementation on the 1st of next month allowing cafes to expand their
footpath.
7. Describe:
The process of identification can be aided by various tools and techniques which should be
selected based on the purpose and context of the risk management activities being
undertaken. Some of the risks for the organization are:
• Human resources management risk:
o No written policy and procedures manual and limited staff training-could lead
to errors and inappropriate actions.
o Authorisation system not clearly defined-could lead to fraud.
o Lack of sales promotion techniques-impacts of the stores financial viability.
• Financial operation risk:
Summary Notes

management procedures. The environment, characteristics, and stakeholders, as well as their aims
and aims, were described and specified in this report, as well as the scope of the specific risk
management approach. The following things were discussed with the manger:

Draft Communication
From: The Manager
To: FARM Committee
Sub: New Toowoomba Store
Dear Farm Committee,
I’ve been assigned with the task of managing the risks associated with the Toowoomba store’s
operational takeover. I did research in accordance with MacVille's risk assessment rules and wrote
a report on the hazards and opportunities that a corporate takeover may present to the company. I
want to present the highlights of the research to the committee, and I want to recommendations and
comments from the committee. Following are the some of the findings of the research:
• Operational/Organisational
o Legal and regulatory compliance: There were no written policy and procedures
manual, no adequate cash handling regulations, the possibility of break-ins
owing to the lack of sufficient security system, no OHS policy and the improper
usage of water was against the state law.
o Logistics and product quality: Fresh pastry deliveries from the company's
central bakery factory would be impossible due to the two-hour delivery time.
The pastries would arrive after the morning rush. These are the important part
of the MacVille but there are also some concern about getting company’s
branded supplies as fast as possible.
o Infrastructure, plant and equipment: Parts of the fit-out were outdated and
unappealing, with some chairs being unstable and broken, and some faded
carpet being merely glued up with gaffer tape.
o Customer interaction: Unskilled staff, not properly trained about the customer
interaction skills.
• Financial
o Accountability: Cash is not handled properly, too much cash is kept at the
premises, no proper policy of banking and financial records not protected with
password.
o Fraud or theft: No proper cash handling rules and regulations, chances for
break-ins due to non-existence of proper security system.
o Loss of income, funding/finance
• Governance
o Since the company is a family run business, work ethics and professionalism
has been a big issue.
• Project Management
o Attending the weekly meeting would be difficult due to the long drive from
Toowoomba to Brisbane, specially when meetings last for late evenings. In
addition, during the next 6 months, there is a manager training sessions to be
attended with a few other assistant managers.
These were the highlights from the research that I wanted to bring forward to the committee and
inputs regarding how the committee wants to address these issues are sought.
Regards,
Manager
Toowomba Store
Task 2
PART A
Assessment Instructions
Using the information gathered in Assessment Task 1 and the case study provided, examine the
likelihood and consequences of identified risks, prioritise the risks and determine options for treatment
of each risk. Using this information you are required to develop an action plan for implementing risk
treatment, document the plan as required, and communicate the risk management plan to relevant
parties.
Procedure
For the case study information provided in this assessment and from Assessment Task 1, you need to
develop a report for your manager (assessor) with the headings as described below.
1. Likelihood – For each risk, assess the likelihood of the risk occurring.
2. Consequence – For each risk, assess the consequence of the risk occurring.
3. Priorities – Use a risk calculation table to assist in prioritising the risks.
4. Options – For each prioritised risk, outline at least two suitable options for treating the risk.
After you have completed the above steps, you need to:
5. develop a risk management plan by completing the table included in this task and attaching it
to your report
6. communicate the plan to your organisation by submitting your report and the risk management
plan to your manager (your assessor) for internal distribution.
When submitting the report and plan, you need to ensure that:
a. your report is titled ‘Risk analysis and management plan’
b. your report is in order, with the Risk management table attached to the back of your
report
c. your report is submitted as required by your organisation (your training provider).
PART B
Assessment Instructions
Review the implementation of the action plan developed in Part A against the case study provided.
Then prepare a monitoring report evaluating the risk management process.
Procedure
Review the provided case study information in order to develop a report examining the ongoing
implementation of a risk management action plan. Use the following headings.
1. Plan – a clear summary of the initial risk and the plan implemented to manage it.
2. Implementation – a summary of all actions taken to date in attempting to manage identified
risks.
3. Outcomes – a clear statement identifying continued and/or reduced risks, with supporting
information in tables or graphs where available.
4. Evaluation – a clear analysis of the effectiveness of the risk management plan, by comparing
the implementation with the outcomes.
After you have completed the above steps, you need to communicate your evaluation of the risk
management plan to your organisation by submitting your report to your manager (your assessor) for
internal distribution.
When submitting the report and plan, you need to ensure that:
• your report is to be titled ‘Evaluation of risk management plan’
• your report is submitted as required by your organisation (your training provider).
Part A
Risk Analysis and Management plan report
1. Likelihood:
Once risks are identified, the next step is to determine the likelihood that the potential
vulnerability can be exploited. According to the Case study, there are following risks:
o Banking risk: There is a possible risk of theft of cash left on premises since the
banking at the Café was not done every day and often $4000 was stored on
the premises overnight in the cash register.
o Manager’s Travel Risk: Because of the steep narrow climb up the range with
trucks obstructing the path which is rather tough in daytime hours, it is unlikely
risk that the manager would be involved in an accident despite being a capable
driver.
o By-law Compliance Risk: It is likely risk that is the employees or the manager
use more water, they will be fined for excessive water use, resulting in a
violation of the current by-law.
2. Consequences:
Failing to address risk can lead to consequences that span the spectrum from mere
inconvenience to grave danger. According to the Case study, there are following risks:
o Banking risk: There is a possibility for theft of cash left on premises and it is
also dangerous to the employees in the Café, so it is a minor risk of not banking
money every day.
o Manager’s travel risk: There is a possibility for the manager to have an accident
due to the long drive and steep narrow climb up the range. If there is any
accident occurs, the company has to ensure the substitute of the manager
which will slow the café’s business which is a major risk.
o By-law compliance risk: If the company didn’t use the water effectively, they
will end up paying the fines up to $50,000 according to current law and would
be a loss for the company and the reputation as well which is a major risk.
3. Priorities:
After determining both likelihood and consequences of the risk, we need to look for the
priorities. The most effective method of risk analysis is to generate a risk matrix.
o Banking risk: It is an extreme risk to keep cash of $4,000 on the premises as
there is possibility for theft and dangerous to employees.
o Manager’s travel risk: It is a high risk since the manager has to drive a long
way and substitute the manger if there is an accident of the manager.
o By-law compliance risk: It is a medium risk if the company pays the fines up to
$50,000 for not using water effectively.
4. Options:
The options for treating the risk which is likely to be effective and feasible for the organization
are action plan early and internal control procedures.
o Banking risk: To prevent the theft of cash left on the premises, the company
need to install the security cameras or safe and keeping no cash on the
premises.
o Manager’s travel risk: To minimise the travel risk of the manager, the
company should provide the insurance, organise tele conferencing or video
meetings and allow overnight stay.
o By-law compliance risk: To minimise the by-law compliance risk, the
company should provide training for staff to follow the procedures to use the
water effectively.

Banking risk: Theft of cash left on o Insurance on ‘cash on premises’
premises o Open an account with closest bank
o Install security cameras
Manager’s travel risk: Physical o Management meetings to finish as early as
injury we can
o Arrange video conferencing
o Management training shift to morning half
day sessions
By-law compliance risk: o Apply for time to ’make good ’
reputation/brand loss and fines o Policy and procedures to change work
practices
o Install water saving devices such as water
tank, dual flush toilet systems, etc.
2. Implementation
3. Outcomes
Risk Outcomes after evaluation
Banking risk: Theft of cash left on o Now low due to significant consequences
premises and ‘unlikely’ likelihood because cash rarely
kept on the premises.
Manager’s travel risk: Physical o Reduced to rare with the change in time
injury travelled.
By-law compliance risk: o Now moderate due to unlikely likelihood
reputation/brand loss and fines with the installed water saving devices and
processes.
4. Evaluation
Risk Effectiveness of the risk management plan
Banking risk: Theft of cash left on o Could be made more effective by 100%
premises compliance with the daily banking directive
and removal of expensive insurance on
overnight cash on premises.
Manager’s travel risk: Physical o Organising teleconferencing would reduce
injury the risk to nil and CEO permits the manager
to leave early.
By-law compliance risk: o Could be more effective by installing tank
reputation/brand loss and fines and dual-flush toilets in 14 days and written
procedures.
