Do you know how hungry your organization is for identification of or tolerance for risk? “Appetite” refers to the level of risk an organization is willing to accept in pursuit of its business objectives before action is deemed necessary. “Tolerance” is the acceptable level of variation in performance related to achieving a company’s business objectives. Risk management is a structured process for identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing legal and regulatory risks that could negatively impact the organization. It allows the organization to focus essential resources on the most significant risks and areas lacking adequate compliance controls.
