Risk Evaluation and Approval Process
The objective of this SOP is to guide team members on how to evaluate and approve risks effectively within the organisation.
Key Steps:
- Start by evaluating the risk to determine if it is acceptable or requires attention.
- Determine the target for the risk by selecting from options such as high, moderate, minor, very low, or low.
- Choose the evaluation rating for the risk.
- Add a new action plan and link it to the risk (covered in a separate video).
- Select the required approval level (e.g., board, executive, CEO) and the approval status (pending or approved).
- Attach any relevant documents or files to the risk evaluation.
- Include any relevant hyperlinks, providing a title and the link for the hyperlink.
- Consider the views of all relevant stakeholders in the risk evaluation process.
- Identify who evaluated the risk, who was consulted (multiple selections possible), and the date of the risk evaluation.
- Click save and exit once all information is entered and reviewed.
Cautionary Notes:
- Ensure all relevant stakeholders' views are considered to make an informed decision.
- Double-check the approval level and status to prevent errors in the evaluation process.
Tips for Efficiency:
- Prioritise clear communication and collaboration with team members during the risk evaluation process.
- Keep all documentation organised and easily accessible for future reference.
- Regularly review and update risk evaluations to ensure accuracy and relevance.
