The Global Financial Crisis Of The Treadway Commission ( Coso )

There has been a notion that financial crises are “black swan” phenomenon, which do not happen often at all. This notion, unfortunately, is absolutely a myth. In the last forty years alone, there have been a total of thirty financial crises worldwide. Even though our project is only concerned with the economy growth in the U.S., the concept of borderless has existed for a long time. A financial crisis happens in Europe can have a very clear effect on the rest of the world, and vice versa. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) has always reacted accordingly, though at times more appropriately than others. Along with other tools, the Fed relies heavily on the adjustment of the Fed fund rate through the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). This is the

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a series of processes used to identify risk, implement strategies to address risk, and monitor impact on the organization. Indeed, an effective ERM will consist of a corporate profile, which is a record of key risks that would hinder the organization in achieving their key objectives (Fraser & Simkins, 2010). Ideally, the risk profile is created as a tool to communicate with the Board of Directors, but may be used as a means of communication with all levels of management (Bethel, 2016). Typically, there are variations of the risk profile based upon the level of management, such as duration, types of risk, and purpose (Fraser & Simkins, 2010).

This paper is intended as a risk management primer for senior managers. It discusses the

Risk management is the process where individual and overall risks are understood and managed, thus optimizing success by minimizing the threats and to maximize opportunities [APM Body of Knowledge, p. 179]. All projects are inherently risky, because it performed by people and subject to the external influences or environment. Risk is something that it cannot be predicted. That is why into the company’s organization, risk management has an essential and vital part in any project whether that is in the planning procedure or to project implementation. Risks are always exists and can be translated as an opportunity to gain benefits. In addition a risk may incur serious monetary losses. The first step of risk management begins when identifies risk. These are identified through several techniques that risk management can select and use. One of the most effective techniques is brainstorming where members are attending meetings in order to gain ideas of either to identify a risk or how to overcome the arising risk. However a document review technique is also applied which is also very helpful, in this technique, documents are reviewed from prior projects which leads to a better understanding of the risks that may do occur. If a company seeks risk management capabilities, is to gaining competitive advantage, riskier businesses seek potential and higher profits.

Risk management is a process for identifying, assessing and prioritizing risks of different kinds. Once the risks are identified, the risk manager will create a plan to minimize or eliminate the impact of negative events. A variety of strategies is available, depending on the type of risk and the type of business. There are a number of risk management standards including those developed by the Project Management Institute the International Organization for Standardization the National Institute of Science and Technology and actuarial societies. Organizations uses different strategies in proper management of future events such as risk assumption, risk avoidance,

Risk management can be defined as the process of discovering, identifying, and assessing the risks facing an organization’s operations, as well as determining how said risks can be either controlled or mitigated (Whitman & Mattord, 2013).  Moreover, a significant component of risk management is risk analysis, which is the identification and assessment of the various levels of risk in the organization.  Due to this fact, risk management must remain an ongoing process, and the safeguards and controls that are devised and implemented cannot be viewed as “install and forget” devices.  Additionally, this comprehensive process requires an organization to frame risk, assess risk, respond to risk once determined, and most importantly, monitor risk on an ongoing basis through the use of active organizational communications and continuous improvement feedback loops. Furthermore, the fact that most businesses identify and implement new information technology systems in response to changes in the market on a regular basis justifies the need for an ongoing risk management process.

Collier (2009) claims that the fundamental role of the Board of the directors in a company is to apply risk management and to review the performance of the organisations’ internal control procedures; these two principal processes will support the Board in the setting of the strategic targets, the transformation of the targets into real products and services, the effective business overseeing, and the realistic reporting to the external stakeholders. Apart from the Board, the author suggests that an effective risk management framework must be facilitated by a risk management group, a chief risk officer, external and internal audits, and a mature organisational culture disseminated to the line managers and employees. Under the same concept, Hampton (2009) presented a flow gram that suggests the path towards the establishment of enterprise risk management, starting from the risk recognition and ending to the standardization of a risk evaluation process, having prior involved the Board, the risk owners and the accountable staff.

Despite the decline in the use of quantitative risk analysis, it is still important to note that risks still exists and risk management has a valuable function to companies. The question that should pose company officials is, “how can a company make its risk management function become more effectual and

Financial crises have plagued the international financial system for many decades. Indeed, they are becoming quite common lately. This quasi-permanent and problematic aspect of the global financial system can be highlighted by the problems regarding the sovereign debts of Asia, Africa, Central Europe, Latin America and the Middle East in the 80s, the 1987 stock market crash, the European foreign exchange crisis in 92-93, the bond market shock in 94, the financial problems that affected Asia, Brazil, Mexico and Russia in the mid-1990s , and more recently with the 2008 global financial collapse. This paper addresses the need for a globalized approach aimed at establishing a well-crafted legal framework capable of dealing with crises within the banking system, hence being able to protect the entire economy of the detrimental cascading effect that those instabilities can create. It compares the approach taken by the UK against the efforts being directed by the G-20 nations. It sheds light on the perspective that several important areas, such as systemic risk, consumer protection, market integrity, macro-prudential and micro-regulatory policies, as well as international competitive equality and shadow banking need to be scrutinized if we are to establish an effective international legal structure.

Too much risk can result in critical failure of the business and too little risk can reduce competitiveness. Risk is the effect of uncertainty on objectives which have both positive and negative effects. According to the ISO/IEC Guide 73, risks are the combination of the probability of an event and its consequences which have the potential for benefits (upside) if managed effectively, or the threat of success (downside) as a result of poor assessment and management. Risks are a central part of any organisation’s strategic management; it is suggested that the greater the risk involved, the higher the return. However, this can only be managed by effective identification and treatment of all perceivable risks. Risk management is a process that is supported by a set of principles and structures that are appropriate to the organisation and its external environment and requires a balance between the level of the risk in relation to the size, nature and complexity of the organisation.

Long gone are the days when risk management was left to a single resourceful person within an organization. The individual assumed the role of reporting to the middle management the specific aspects of the business that need to be changed in an effort to minimize occurrence of risks within an organization. It has however been tested and found true that business risks need to managed at the source regardless of the industry sector. There has been current success in ERM that show clear evidence that everyone has a role to play in enterprise risk management (Oplatka, 2012). Everybody has a role of understanding the risk within their portfolio and have the necessary tools that makes it possible to manage such

One well accepted description of risk management is the following: risk management is a systematic approach to setting the best course of action under uncertainty by identifying, assessing, understanding, acting on and communicating risk issues. In order to apply risk management effectively, it is vital that a risk management culture be developed. The risk management culture supports the overall vision, mission and objectives of an organization. Limits and boundaries are established and communicated concerning what are acceptable risk practices and outcomes. Since risk management is directed at uncertainty related to future events and outcomes, it is

Risk management is an integral part of our daily lives and has been since we could think independently as small children. Is it safe to cross the road? Can I afford to buy that this month? Will I get caught if I don’t go to school today? These questions form the basis of risk management; there are consequences to our actions and those consequences need to be considered and managed.

Risk based thinking – The current “preventive action process” is replaced with “risk based thinking”. We are expected to identify the risks and opportunities that may effect our company as service providers and define actions to tackle them. They must be included in our QMS processes. Going forward, management must be involved from the start in the development of the QMS and will, as a result, be aware of the risk factors. Management meetings should include time for disscussions on recognising risks and be made aware of concerns from lower level employee regarding risk. When all employees are involved in the “risk based thinking process” it is expected that this will provide valuable information re potential threaths to the business.
