Risk appetite: The practical essentials

Integrating risk appetite into your ERM framework.

On-demand webinar

The risk management world has toyed with the concept of Risk Appetite for a number of years now, with varied levels of success. Whatever you wish to call it, and however you wish to articulate it, risk appetite is a critical component of a robust risk management framework. It provides our decision-makers “freedom within boundaries”. Freedom to operate, make decisions, take risks and most importantly fail.

Risk Appetite should be an enabler. It provides the organisation with a "pool" of risk that should be used to create value. It helps identify where excessive risk is being taken and equally, where not enough risk is being taken.
