BCS Foundation Award - How To Manage Risk

Risk is a feature of any business; it influences the decisions an organisation makes and the way in which it operates.

Some organisations are more risk averse whereas others have a greater appetite for risk depending on what they wish to achieve in the market and the level of insight they have that enable them to take risks.

This includes understanding what risk is, identifying different types of risk, and how risk can be measured and assessed. It will consider the principles of risk management and how a clear reporting process can enable clear decisions to be made based on the information provided.

You will consider approaches to risk management and how it can be applied within their own context as well as in different situations and settings
