Risk assessment is employed to inform decisions regarding the importance and impact of risks within the organization, determining whether each specific risk should be accepted or addressed. In the context of operational risk management, aligning it with the organization’s risk appetite is crucial. After gauging the severity of the risk, various methods of risk control can be implemented.
