Overview of Risk Manager

The Risk Manager Module is a tool intended to facilitate organisations ability to assess potential risks, be that strategic, financial, operational, reputational or compliance related ones.

This guide’s intention is to aid Administrators in how they access, set-up, create and manage risks in an organisation.

 

Major Functional Areas

1. Risk Suggestions

   Risk suggestions allow you to open up the Risk Register to a larger userbase, giving your users a chance to highlight possible Risks as ‘Risk Suggestions’

2. New Risk

   Risk records can be raised here based on the templates created in Risk Types.

3. Risk Records

   A filterable list view of all Risks currently in the system

4. Risk Types

   To help with the assessment of risks and any subsequent action and analysis, Risks are categorised within a hierarchy of Types. Each Risk Type acts as a template for the creation and assessment of Risks of that Type.

   The functionality provided enables Types to be added to, removed from and positioned in the list. It also enables the imposition of control over whether Risks having a specific Type must be Assessed by a Workflow controlled process and over who can set the status of a Risk to Approved. You can also associate additional Metadata (organised in sections) with Risks Types

5. Reports

   A list of standard reports for Risks including: Risk Heat Map, Analysis of Risks and Actions

6. Workflow

   The undertaking of Risk Assessment can be controlled via Workflows.

   The application enables the configuration of templates for Workflows. That entails the creation of a record for a Workflow, including the steps within it, each of which is an Action.

   Actions can be selected from a list of Action Types, each of which can also be created within this area of the application.
