40% of the project. Arising from abuse of power and taking advantage in the
weaknesses in VO procedures.

3. Taking advantage of the loopholes in VO claims – there is a lack of clear
guidelines as to the maximum amount of VO or number of times allowable.

No serious risk exposure but improvements are required to
provide reasonable assurance that objectives will be
achieved.
Weak Controls do not meet an acceptable standard, as many
weaknesses/inefficiencies exist. Controls do not provide

▪ Require risk action plans to reduce the

RISK RATING – RISK PARAMETERS
Risk Measurement = Impact & Likelihood
Risk Tolerance / Risk Appetite is the amount of risk, on
Risk Appetite a broad level, that an organization is
willing to accept in pursuit of value.
Likelihood Impact
1) Determine the amount of risk an
enterprise able to take
2) Risk tolerance determined up-front
with board of directors or those in-
charge of governance
3) Allow enterprises to have a means
to identify which risks are most
critical and important for them to
focus on and allocate the resources
