RISK MANAGEMENT

CONCEPTS GUIDE
AGENDA

• Design principles and end-state ERM.

• Manage risk component implementation.

• Identify and assess risks.

• Respond to and monitor risks.

• Address questions.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF END-STATE ERM

Component Design Principles

Focus All risks – strategic, operational, compliance and reporting – are covered.

Time Perspective Both current and emerging risks are covered.

• Boards provide informed oversight.


• Executive management owns the overall process and ensures that key risks are managed
Responsibilities across the enterprise.
• CROs (optional) facilitate and coordinate risk management.
• Individual managers are held accountable for managing risks.

• Consistent Processes: Define practices and language to consistently identify, manage and
aggregate risks.
• Integration: Build from existing practices and inject risk management into critical
management practices to enrich them; embed into the way of doing business; and link risk
Composition of management with opportunity pursuit/ROI (e.g., strategic planning, R&D, etc.). Also, integrate
Program with performance management processes to create a more balanced view of results.
• Culture: Drive awareness of top risks through the organization via communication, training,
linking to compensation and involving an informed board, with management and directors
focused on similar issues, while being objective and transparent.
• Infrastructure: Build processes, systems and reporting only to the extent necessary.

RISK IDENTIFICATION
AND RISK ASSESSMENT
RISK MANAGEMENT VS. RISK OVERSIGHT

• The respective roles of management and the directors are different:

Risk Management Risk Oversight

Risk management is what management does. It Risk oversight is the board’s process for determining
includes identifying, prioritizing, sourcing, managing that the company has a process in place for managing
and monitoring risk that is significant to the execution of its significant risks and that that process is improved
the company’s strategic priorities and achievement of continuously as the business environment changes.
its business objectives and performance goals.

• The role of risk oversight is to enable the board to:


− Develop a mutual understanding with management regarding the obstacles and uncertainties the company
faces and key assumptions underlying its strategy and business model.
− Understand management’s choices in undertaking these obstacles and uncertainties, recognizing that the
nature of these choices will vary according to the underlying characteristics of the risks.
− Provide timely advice on matters pertaining to risk and risk management.

10
KEY TERMS

Some you may have heard:

• Risk Appetite: Risk appetite is the maximum amount of risk an entity is willing to accept in pursuit of value.
− Example: What minimum level of return we are willing to accept to pursue our growth strategy? What is the
maximum level of capital we are willing to put at risk to invest in an emerging market?
• Risk Tolerance: Risk tolerance is the acceptable level of variation relative to achievement of a specific objective.
− Example: How much of an increase in steel prices are we willing to accept before we take significant action
(e.g., price increase or alternative materials)?
• Risk Capacity: Risk capacity is the maximum impact an organization can absorb and maintain sustainable
operations.
− Example: What is the minimum level of sales that we can have before we fail?

14
RISK MANAGEMENT FOCUSES OF ALL TYPES OF
RISK

• Current Risks: These are risks that the organization is facing, or has been known to face in the past, and
therefore could re-present themselves to the organization.

• Emerging Risks: These are risks that the company has not faced previously but could impact the organization
going forward.

• “Black Swan” Risks: These are risks that the company could face but would not know that they exist.

15
KEY CATEGORIES OF RISK

• Strategic: The risk of one or more future events invalidating fundamental assumptions underlying the
business strategy and management’s long-term outlook and that the business model is not effectively
aligned with the strategy.

• Operational: The risk of one or more future events impairing the effectiveness of the business model for
creating value for customers and achieving the financial results expected to increase shareholder value.

• Financial: The risk that cash flows and financial risks are not managed cost-effectively to:
− Maximize cash availability.
− Reduce uncertainty of currency, interest rate, credit and other financial risks.
− Move cash funds quickly and without loss of value to wherever they are needed most.
• Compliance: The risk of noncompliance with laws, regulations and internal policies may result in penalties,
fines, lost revenues and/or reputation loss.

16
ADDITIONAL THINGS TO CONSIDER

Risks have different characteristics and require different approaches to assessment


and management.

• Speed to impact

• Time horizon

• Precision of measurement

• Upside or downside consequences

18
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PRIORITIZING RISKS

Impact
• When determining the scale, it is important to consider:
− Financial loss
− Strategic impact
− Revenue targets
− Reputation
Likelihood
• Consider the time horizon in which it is reasonably expected that an event could occur that would trigger the
risk.
Persistence
• The time period over which the event is dealt with after an occurrence.
− Example: The lingering reputational impact of a major recall
Velocity
• Speed with which the full impact of the event is realized (i.e., required reaction time).
− Example: Sudden change in exchange rates vs. a chronic warranty issue causing customer
dissatisfaction
Response Readiness
• The organization’s preparedness to manage/respond to an event or a series of events (including
contingency plans).
− Example: Product recall or terrorist incident

ELEMENTS OF MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL
INFRASTRUCTURE

The six elements of infrastructure is a framework that can be used to identify the components that influence the
operating and control environment (includes concept of multiple lines of defense).

Key elements of infrastructure must be linked by design:

ENTERPRISE APPROACH VS. SILO THINKING

The goal of this group is to avoid silo thinking and help bridge
the gaps between the functions and the regions.

26
RISK OWNERSHIP

• Responsibilities, authorities and accountabilities are defined for and articulated clearly so that an individual,
a group or a designated unit is accountable for managing each critical enterprise risk. The accountable
individual, group or unit is considered the “risk owner.”
• The risk owners have the responsibility, authority and accountability to manage the risk.
• Risk owners, at a minimum, must:
− Decide on the risk responses.
− Design the capabilities for managing the risks in accordance with the selected risk response.
− Monitor these capabilities over time to make sure they perform as intended. If gaps are noted, they fix
them on a timely basis.
• Risk owners may elect to outsource the responsibility to build and execute capabilities but that does not
compromise their ownership of the risk.
• The executive committee is responsible for ensuring that appropriate risk owners are designated for each
critical risk and monitor risk owner performance over time.

MONITOR AND EVALUATE RESULTS

• Reviewing key metrics gives the company the ability to measure the rate of progress it is making toward its strategic
objectives and the mitigation of its critical risks and also includes an ongoing evaluation of risk responses.
• This process determines the effectiveness of integrated business plans and the ultimate creation of value within the
enterprise’s appetite for risk and established strategic boundaries.
