The role of a risk management professional
Organisations of all types and sizes face internal and external factors and influences that make it uncertain whether and when they will achieve their objectives. Managing risk is dynamic and assists organisations in making informed decisions about setting strategy and achieving objectives. It is part of governance and leadership and how the organisation is managed and includes interaction with stakeholders as an integral part of all activities of the organisation.
