[All L3M3 Questions]

Which two of the following constitute part of a common risk assessment or risk evaluation formula?

AContingency

BLikelihood

CImpact

DPrevention

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

What is the likelihood of an event occurring?

What will be the impact of that event occurring?

This is the basis of almost all modern risk management.

CIPS has good content at Advanced Diploma level on the subject of Risk Management, and I have prepared tests for the two subjects in this area. :)

Sadgrove's book on business risk, in my view, is excellent; and NN Taleb's work (eg 'Antifragile') on risk, although difficult is, in my opinion, fascinating.

That's true, having a plan B and measures to prevent risks are essential too.
