| Management of Risk: Guidance
for Practitioners
Price: £35.00 ISBN 0113309090
Risk and risk management can sometimes be misunderstood. There
is a view that the prudent approach is to avoid risk by simply
maintaining the status quo. Linked to this is the idea that
audit is a barrier to risk taking and innovation. Also spending
time developing risk management strategies can sometimes be
perceived as mere pointless bureaucracy.
Failure to take opportunities can be a huge risk in itself.
By not looking at new ways of doing things organisations can
miss out on real opportunities to manage better their business,
improve service delivery and achieve value for money.
Following the Turnbull report organisations are now busy working
on risk management frameworks and internal control statements
to embed risk management in their management processes.
This publication draws on experience from a variety of experts
from the public and private sectors. It sets out a framework
for taking informed decisions about risk at a project, programme
and strategic level to ensure that key risks are identified,
assessed and that action is taken to address them.
This guidance should be a valuable springboard for innovation
and encourage a sound approach to risk.
