LGV7034: You have been asked to write a guidance note for a group of new non-executive directors which analyses risk culture, risk appetite and risk tolerance and risk capacity: Risk Management, Essay, VUC, Malaysia

QUESTIONS:-

1. You have been asked to write a guidance note for a group of new non-executive directors which analyses risk culture, risk appetite and risk tolerance and risk capacity.

Your answer should include the value of differentiating between them and use examples to suggest how and why an understanding of these risk dimensions can benefit an organisation.

2. The board of YGT discussed its need for timely risk information. The consensus of the meeting was that risk consultants should be engaged to review the risks facing the company. One director, Raz Dutta, said that she felt that this would be a waste of money as the company needed to concentrate its resources on improving organisational efficiency rather than on gathering risk information. She said that many risks ‘didn’t change much’ and ‘hardly ever materialised’ and so can mostly be ignored. The rest of the board, however, believed that a number of risks had recently emerged whilst others had become less important and so the board wanted a current assessment as it believed previous assessments might now be outdated.

The team of risk consultants completed the risk audit. They identified and assessed six potential risks (A, B, C, D, E and F) and the following information was discussed when the findings were presented to the YGT board:

Risk A was assessed as unlikely and low impact whilst, Risk B was assessed as highly likely to occur and with a high impact. The activities giving rise to both A and B, however, are seen as marginal in that whilst the activities do have value and are capable of making good returns, neither is strategically vital.
