Learning about risk: choices, connections and competencies

 

This 1998 publication is intended to spark thought and discussion that will lead to better understanding of the nature of risk and of the processes of risk identification and assessment. It examines the nature of risk and offers some risk models and propositions about how risk identification and assessment may be addressed. It will be helpful to:

  • anyone who wants to learn about risk;
  • chartered accountants and others who play a management role or provide services in risk identification and assessment for their employers or clients;
  • members of governing bodies charged with oversight of the risk management process;
  • standard-setting and professional bodies that offer materials or services relating to risk.


We encourage you to read the paper and reflect on the issues and questions it raises. You'll find that once you begin making connections, you won't stop. Discussion with colleagues will enrich your learning.
