    Which method would minimize the business risk?

    • Listing

    • Product Development

    • Diversification

    • Premium Pricing

    Correct Answer
    A. Diversification
    Explanation
    Diversification would minimize the business risk because it involves expanding the range of products or services offered by a company into new markets or industries. By diversifying, a company reduces its reliance on a single product or market, spreading the risk across different areas. This strategy allows the company to adapt to changing market conditions and mitigate the potential negative impact of economic downturns or shifts in consumer preferences. Additionally, diversification can provide opportunities for growth and increase the company's overall profitability.

    What is not required to implement a Risk Management Process in a company?

    • Quality Circles

    • Information & Communication

    • Resources

    • Risk Culture

    Correct Answer
    A. Quality Circles
    Explanation
    Quality Circles are not required to implement a Risk Management Process in a company. Quality Circles are a specific type of employee involvement program that focuses on improving quality and productivity in the workplace. While they can be beneficial for overall organizational improvement, they are not directly related to the implementation of a Risk Management Process. The other options, Information & Communication, Resources, and Risk Culture, are all essential components for effective risk management in a company.

    What is a numerical measure of risk?

    • NPV

    • Standard Deviation

    • Mean

    • IRR

    Correct Answer
    A. Standard Deviation
    Explanation
    Standard deviation is a numerical measure of risk because it quantifies the variability or dispersion of a set of data points. In the context of risk, it represents the degree of uncertainty or volatility associated with an investment or project. A higher standard deviation indicates a greater level of risk, as the data points are more spread out from the average. Conversely, a lower standard deviation suggests less risk, as the data points are more tightly clustered around the average. Therefore, standard deviation is widely used in finance and investment analysis to assess and compare the riskiness of different assets or investment opportunities.

    What are the parameters for evaluating risks?

    • Impact

    • Likelihood

    • Urgency

    • Shareholder Expectation

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Impact
    A. Likelihood
    Explanation
    The parameters for evaluating risks are impact and likelihood. Impact refers to the potential consequences or effects that a risk event could have on the project or organization. Likelihood, on the other hand, refers to the probability or chance of the risk event occurring. By considering both the impact and likelihood of a risk, organizations can prioritize their response and mitigation efforts accordingly. Other parameters such as urgency and shareholder expectation may also be important factors to consider, but they are not mentioned in the given options.

    What is the most common risk for a listed company?

    • Risk of lack of funds

    • Market Risk

    • Reputation Risk

    • Liquidity Risk

    Correct Answer
    A. Reputation Risk
    Explanation
    Reputation risk refers to the potential damage that a company's reputation may suffer due to negative public perception, loss of trust, or a damaged brand image. This risk is particularly significant for listed companies as any negative publicity can lead to a decrease in shareholder value, loss of customers, and difficulty in attracting investors. It can arise from various factors such as unethical practices, product recalls, legal issues, or negative media coverage. Therefore, reputation risk is considered the most common risk for a listed company as it directly affects its market position and overall success.

    What is not a risk identification technique?

    • Brainstorming

    • Delphi Method

    • Interviews

    • Benchmarking

    Correct Answer
    A. Delphi Method
    Explanation
    The Delphi Method is not a risk identification technique because it is a consensus-building technique that involves obtaining expert opinions through a series of questionnaires or surveys. It is used to reach a consensus on a particular issue or problem, rather than specifically identifying risks. In contrast, brainstorming, interviews, and benchmarking are commonly used techniques for identifying risks by gathering information, ideas, and best practices from various sources. Therefore, the Delphi Method stands out as the technique that does not directly contribute to risk identification.

    Risk Management Should be applied when setting ________________ of an organisation.

    Correct Answer
    strategy
    Strategy
    STRATEGY
    Explanation
    Risk management should be applied when setting the strategy of an organization. This is because the strategy defines the long-term goals and objectives of the organization, and it involves making decisions that may have significant impacts on the organization's success or failure. By applying risk management, the organization can identify and assess potential risks associated with the chosen strategy, and develop appropriate mitigation measures to minimize the negative impacts of those risks. This helps in ensuring that the strategy is well-informed, realistic, and aligned with the organization's risk appetite and tolerance levels.

By establishing this group, the organization can ensure that there is a dedicated team focused on identifying, assessing, and managing risks effectively. This step sets the foundation for the rest of the risk management cycle, as it establishes the structure and accountability necessary for successful risk management.
