3.9 OPERATIONAL RISK FRAMEWORK
Operational risk framework is a “well-crafted corporate operational risk policy” that strive to: (i) define operational risk and its components; (ii) identify the roles, responsibilities and interrelationships between the business units, internal audit, business line risk management and firm-wide risk management; (iii) provide guidance commensurate with the size, complexity and the risk profile of the firm; (iv) document the process whereby risk self-assessment is completed; (v) establishes templates for a risk-focused operational risk reporting package that includes risk and control self-assessment, key indicators and loss tracking; and (vi) address and/or cross-reference corporate and business activity guidance in selected areas (for

Lack of proper risk management process: NASA was using a simple risk classification system and the methods used were only qualitative. There was a lack of proper technical and quantitative risk management methods that could have helped them identify the risks and eliminate them.
This is a continuous cycle of the National Preparedness System. This allows for consistent and reliable approach to decision-making, resource allocation, while measuring outcomes throughout preparedness and response. Identifying and assessing risk is paramount to the success of survival during a disaster of any kind man-made or natural alike. The risk assessment collects information on the threats of hazard as well as well as projected consequences (U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2011). The information obtain is also used to determine the desired outcomes of the operation in affect.
Using principles of risk management can help policymakers reach informed decisions regarding the best ways to prioritize investments in security programs so that these investments target the areas of greatest need. (!) The DHS had to establish a risk management framework to help the department target its investments in security programs and disaster recovery based on risk. For DHS to have an effective way of conducting risk management, they had to develop a means for every agency to conduct risk management. DHS created the Risk Steering Committee who vision was to enable individual elements, groups of elements, or the entire homeland security enterprise to simultaneously and effectively assess, analyze, and manage risk from multiple perspectives across the homeland security mission space (National Research Council, 2010). One of their first tasking they took on to get the department on the same page was to establish a common vocabulary in dealing with risk management. The DHS Risk Steering Committee developed the Risk Lexicon, which made a common, unambiguous set of official terms and definitions to ease and improve the communication of risk-related issues for DHS (National Research Council, 2010). It facilitates consistency and uniformity in the usage of reporting risk-related information for the department and allots the Risk Steering Committee to set the priorities by evaluating the
Obviously, financial establishments can endure breathtaking misfortunes notwithstanding when their risk management is top notch. They are, all things considered, in the matter of going out on a limb. At the point when risk management fails, be that as it may, it is in one of the many fundamental ways, almost every one of them exemplified in the present emergency. In some cases, the issue lies with the information or measures that risk directors depend on. At times it identifies with how they recognize and impart the risks an organization is presented to. Financial risk management is difficult to get right in the best of times.
Risk is the possibility of injuries or accidents occurring in your settings. Every individual health and social care settings has its own hazards which poses a potential risk. Risk assessment must be use to evaluate and minimise the risk if they are inseparable from the person centred care of the user. The risk factors in the care setting could have psychological, social, financial and physical instabilities.
Management issue is one of the major causes of the space shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. Inadequate risk assessment and pressure account for implementation of the launch despite there are potential risks, resulting the disinfection of obiter.
The objectives of operation, reporting, and compliance are represented in the column. Components are represented by the rows regarding the ERM. The third dimension is the entity’s organizational structure. It demonstrates clear how and how counteract low risk tolerance and high risk appetite. Risk reduction is obtained by facilitating effective internal control with a broad scope that reflects changes in the framework to risk management with ERM. The framework requires adaptability which enables flexibility due to a overlap of functions of identify, assessing, and responding to risks within operations, reporting, and compliance. Activities, information, communication should be monitored, evaluated, and identified for response are part of the ERM for effective and efficient risk management. The concept of risk appetite and risk tolerance is introduced because the identification of potential events affecting achievement can be managed. Also, the process requires communication, consultation before and monitoring and review after every decision or action (McNally, 2015). The financial principles to risk management are effective risk management creates value, integration, decision making, address uncertainty, systematic structure, and facilitated continuous improvement. The financial principles form effective and efficient management within a firm. Financial principles help ERM with risk

Identify the potential risks which affect the company and manage these risks within its risk appetite;
Operational risks are risks that may occur in the day to day activities, which may involve the process, systems, or people. Strategic risks are those risks involved with strategy. Positioning ones’ company with the right alliances and competing with fare prices will help affect future operational decisions. Compliance risks involve the many legislations and regulations a company must follow. The results could lead to high penalties and a company’s reputation could take a hit. Lastly, financial risks are always being monitored because oil, fuel, and currency rates are constantly fluctuating. By monitoring the fluctuating rates determines fare cost and balancing of the budget. “Like in any other industry, the risk exposure quantifies the amount of loss that might occur from any particular activity” (Genovese,
This study undertook relevant research; by collecting data that the company had on record. After which, an analysis was done and the key risk indicators (KRI) were identified. Moreover, this analysis revealed the inefficiencies that exist within the current system, which triggered the generation of an algorithm. The developed methodology provides an effective process of well-defined instructions, and criteria that can be used for auditing each location. The developed risk-based auditing approach is a systematic, dynamic process that will help to control risks, and improve the current process.
Over the past decade, risk and uncertainty have increasingly become major issues which impact business activities. Many organizations are raising awareness to minimize the adverse consequences by implementing the process of Risk Management Framework which plays a significant role in mitigating almost all categories of risks. According to Ward (2005), the objective of risk management is to enhance a company’s performance. In particular, the importance of the framework is to assist top management in developing a sensible risk management strategy and program.
As has been discussed before, risk identification plays an important part in the risk such as unique, subjective, complex and uncertainly. There are no two identical leaves in the world; similar, there are no two exactly the same risk either. Hence the best risk manger could not identify risk completely. Besides, risk identification assessment is done by risk analysts. As the different level of risk management knowledge, practical experience and other aspects between individuals, the result of risk identification may be difference. Furthermore, the process of identifying risk is still risky. Once risks have been identified, corporations have to take actions on limiting risky actions to reduce the frequency and severity of risky. They have to think about any lost profit from limiting distribution of risky action. So reducing risk identification risk is one of assessments in the risk
The importance of enterprise risk management is to ensure that the program is not managed in individual departments, but rather utilizing a holistic approach. According to Fraser & Simkins, in the text, Enterprise Risk Management, the common result of a stove-pipe approach to risk management is that risks are often managed inconsistently these risk may be effectively managed within an individual business unit to acceptable levels, but the risk treatments or lack thereof selected by the manager may unknowingly create or add to risks for other units within the organization. This stove-piping or silos as we understand it at University of Saint Mary create major rifts and
