What is Risk Management about?

This course starts by exploring the concept of risk and the factors that can constitute risks i.e. legislation affecting business operations in South Africa, health risks and a few others. It looks at organizational policies and procedures as the strategic link between a Company’s Vision and its day-to-day operations and how these could be beneficial in the management of risk.  

The second section of this course deals with the two main ways of identifying risk, sources of information available to assist with this task and scenarios that can constitute a risk. It then looks at risk assessment, the level of risk, elements of risk analysis and impact analysis. It explores the steps to take when testing and revising a contingency plan as well as recommendations on improvements to contingency plans.
