Performance objective
The candidate will demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to manage risks in a
range of contexts across an organisation or for a specific business unit or area in any
industry setting.
Assessment description
This assessment consists of developing a risk management plan for an organisation of
your choice (as discussed with your assessor) or using your college as your business. You
are required to develop a risk management plan, evaluate risks and prepare an action
plan to mitigate the risks.
Procedure
In this assessment task you are required to complete the following:
(a) Prepare risk management plan
(b) Evaluate risks
(c) Prepare action plans
Specifications
You are required to develop a risk management plan for a company of your choice, or for
an area of the Registered Training Organisation in which you are studying. Your risk
management plan must include:
- a detailed stakeholder analysis;
- explanation of the risk context;
- critical success factors;
- identified and analysed risks;
- treatments for prioritised risk;
- details of the monitoring arrangements; and
To perform this task, you will be required to arrange a time to speak with your supervisor
(real, or ole-played by your assessor), and interview them about the business. However, it
is important that you are prepared before this appointment. Do your research. Find out
what the business does, how it operates, and investigate the industry as a whole. Your
supervisor will only respond to questions you ask.
ii. This is a report that would reflect upon the different risk factors that are associated with
expanding MacVille Cafe to the new Toowoomba store. The risk factors have been
identified after several meetings with the current manager of the shop. The report
includes an email to the stakeholders as well, and also an excerpt from the meeting with
the CEO.
iii. As per the instructions of the CEO, the new manager went to the new Toowoomba store
to gather some information about the operations and management of the existing
Hurley’s cafe from the current manager of the store, James Mansfield, and the landlord
of the premise, Ron Langford. It is understood that expanding and establishing a new
shop needs to be planned meticulously, and this needs careful assessment of the entire
scenario and properly gathering information. This report is has been made as per the
CEO’s specifications that would try to give you a proper knowledge about the current
functioning of the cafe and the assessment of all the risk factors that are associated with
the expansion.
iv. MacVille knows that risk management is an integral part of proper goods management.
The company tries to assess, evaluate and manage its risk factors, so that they can
provide the best services to their customers. In this report, risks are identified so that
those risks can be dealt with in a correct and efficient manner.
The risk management framework tries to cover a number of important elements that help the
company to operate efficiently and provide the customers with the best services possible. An array of
operational, financial, commercial and strategic risks are identified and tried to be dealt with in this
framework.
MacVille has a very clearly defined risk management framework and the following are incorporated
within it, so that most of the obstacles t6hat may arise can be identified easily and solved.
● Policies and procedures: these are to control the internal functionings of the company and to
ensure that the shops run smoothly. These include policies on Human Resources (which
include policies on harassment in the workplace and staff policy for travel, parental leave
policy etc.), Financial prospects and Corporate Governance.
● Monthly reporting: The senior management team regularly hold meetings so that no
problems go unnoticed by the authorities and prompt and effective measurements can be
taken. The Board is given proper and detailed reports on these meetings so that they are
kept up to date with the problems and the solutions as well.
● Business planning and budgeting: The Board of Directors make proper budgeting plans and
decide on the business strategies that would best serve the company’s purposes and take
the company to the desired goals.
● Risk management review: The Financial, Audit and Risk Management Committee (FARM)
reports to the Board on internal controls. This committee is assigned with the task of paying
special attention to risk management. These reports are given to the CEO of the company
and the CEO reports directly to the Board of Directors. The committee also oversees the
internal and external audits; and this puts the committee in the perfect position to make
advices to the Board on how to effectively control the internal management as well as
advices on how to formulate the best strategies for running the business efficiently.
● External audits: MacVille takes the issue of financial management very seriously and makes
sure that the company is periodically audited by external agencies or audit firms so that no
discrepancies are found in the monetary functioning of the company. These audit reports are
sent to all the senior managers and the CEO and the Board of Directors.
This framework ensures that the company can operate without any glitches and even if any problems
do arise, the company can handle those situations and come up with the perfect solutions. These
company principle have been all taken into account while reviewing the new store at Toowoomba
and trying to identify all the risks that the company may come across.
The scope of risk management and role as the new manager of the Toowoomba store
The currently existing Hurley’s cafe is being taken over by MacVille and the company is trying to
gather information on the different aspects where risk may arise, so that MacVille can effectively
battle those and ensure a good running of business. The company already has a basic outline on
where it may face risks and problems while operating, and this outline will be governing the analysis
of the new store functions.
MacVille, primarily, thinks that it has risk factors associated with organisational, financial,
governance and project management. Multiple things and topics are included in this general
guideline which normally cover most of the potential problems.
As the newly appointed manager of this new store, meetings were scheduled with the current
manager of Hurley’s Cafe and the landlord of the premise. The new manager has been assigned with
the task of identifying the risks that may arise from this expansion and report to the CEO so that
further steps can be taken accordingly.
Upon meeting with the current manager of the store, James Mansfield, some points were identified
and notes were taken accordingly.
One of the biggest problems that was noticed was the distance between brisbane and Toowoomba.
The time that it takes to drive from the Brisbane to the new store would make the weekly managers’
meeting somewhat of a problem. New manager has to be trained properly so that he/she can
execute the responsibilities perfectly. The distance may pose as a serious issue, but it can also be
solved with good time management skills. The climb up to the store is blocked by trucks, which make
the approach somewhat of a problem. Since the distance is a problem, delivering fresh food items
would also become one of the bigger concerns for MacVille. This problem can be resolved reasonably
enough as the current store has infrastructure to bake fresh products within 30 minutes. This would
also render company-branded supplies to lag. The current establishment does not have any written
down contracts between the employees and Mr. Hurley. This has to be revised immediately as
MacVille is a much bigger chain and a proper contract must be made, else this may prove to be a
problem in the future. The store has to have a good flow of water supplies. The store currently uses
about 41,500 litres of water every week and this amount must be kept on being supplied. MacVille
may even need to upgrade the system to a dual-flush one, which would cost the company about
$7,500.
One of the major problems that were noticed during the meeting was the issue of cash handling. The
store does not have any safe for keeping cash and MacVille has to make sure that the cash register
is revamped. James said that there is a 50% chance of theft in the store. This is just one more
aspect that would only prompt MacVille to invest on making a proper cash registry system. The
furniture of the store also has to be replaced.
The store currently has no established process for treating injuries that may happen from work.
MacVille would be sure to make contracts that would include treatment of injuries.
SWOT
The new shop’s biggest strength is its location. It is set on the crossing of two main streets. This
would massively help to attract attention. The area is well connected by public transportation - this
would enable customers from far away to easily reach the shop without much hassle. The store
currently has moderate infrastructure which would prove helpful to MacVille while overhauling the
existing set-up.
The weakness that is faced by the store is the obstacles that are posed by the trucks. But
investigations can help to solve this with relative ease.
According to the landlord of the premise, Ron Langford, more shops can be opened in the
surrounding areas. He also explained that the population of the area is on the rise, and this would
ensure MacVille with a lot of customers and good profits. He further mentioned that a by-law would
be implemented from the next month by the government, which would allow cafes to expand their
footpaths and put more tables.
Two major threats have been identified which may concern the company. Firstly, the is a local law
that excessive water usage would result in a $50,000 fine, which is going to be backed up by the
government soon. MacVille has to pay close attention to this, and even has to upgrade the system if
necessary in order to minimize water usage. Another issue is the growing competition in the area.
Ron said there are many multinational cafe chains are trying to set up cafes in the city. This means
MacVille has to price their products very competitively.
These are the different risks that involve setting up the new store at Toowoomba which were
identified. To make sure the company operates like its other shops, these must be addressed as
soon as possible.
PEST
An email is being sent to the stakeholders, which would give them the proper idea pertaining to the
problems that have been identified and the possible solutions, so that they would have clear ideas
about the whole situation.
To,
Dear Sir/Madam,
This mail is to inform you that Macville is establishing a new store at Toowoomba and the process
has identified some issues and problems regarding the running of the company in the area, the
solutions have also been chalked out. You are kindly requested to contact the management of
MacVille so that you could be given the proper detailed idea about the whole situation, so that you
can assess the situation yourself as well and assist the company with insights and advices that
would help us to serve you better.
Thanking you,
The Manager
After the issues had been identified, the new manager attended a meeting with the CEO of the
company. The key points of the meeting are given below:
Conclusions
a. The new shop has some issues that have been identified. These problems are being tried to deal
with. The CEO has been notified and a report has been sent to the Board of Directors too. The
next courses of actions are being

process developed in Assessment Task 1, you are to perform a Risk Assessment in a business area
for an organisation of your choice. For example, you may use a department within your college.
Procedure
You should use the forms developed in Assessment 1 for this task, and submit them to your
assessor as part of your review
Specifications
As part of this task, you are to record:
● who was involved in the assessment
● the processes you undertook
● any issues you came across and how your dealt with them
● your findings from the risk assessment
Your assessor will be looking for your ability to:
● analyse information from a range of sources to identify the scope and context of the risk
management process including:
stakeholder analysis
political, economic, social, legal, technological and policy context
current arrangements
objectives and critical success factors for the area included in scope
risks that may apply to scope

Consequence
i. Install a water tank for store use and change to native plants.
ii. Introduce water saving devices – dual flush toilet, 5-6 star rated (WELS) dishwasher.
iii. Change work practices – wash fruit and vegetables in still water, only run dishwasher
when full, select economy cycle if only a light wash required.
MONITORING REPORT
c. By-law Compliance risk – reputation/brand loss and fines – initially rated as high.
III. Install water saving devices such as native plants, tank, dual flush toilet
systems, 5-6 star (WELS) dishwasher.
Implementation should include:
i. The financial controller had taken out $5,000 the insurance cover on cash held on premises
overnight from the opening week as planned.
ii. The company bank account was opened about 4 weeks opening at
the bank two shops down the street.
ii. The assistant management training has been shifted to the mornings allowing the
manager to leave before 1:00PM.
c. By-law Compliance risk – reputation/brand loss and fines – initially rated as high.
I .An external audit was completed and presented to the board 6 months after settlement.
ii. The board and CEO included a new policy regarding compliance with the Toowoomba by-
law on water conservation.
vi. The application to make-good by Goldsmith Partners on behalf of MacVille, was accepted by
the Toowoomba City Council.
vii. There has been one internal audit arranged by the store.
a. Banking risk – theft of cash left on premises – initially rated as moderate now low due to
insignificant consequence (insurance cover) and ‘unlikely’ likelihood because cash rarely
kept on the premises.
b. Manager’s travel risk – physical injury – initially rated as extreme still high. Likelihood
reduced to rare with the change in time travelled.
c. Evaluation.
By-law Compliance risk – reputation/brand loss and fines – initially rated as high now
moderate due to unlikely likelihood with the installed water saving devices and processes.
a. Banking risk – theft of cash left on premises – initially rated as moderate reduced to low.
Could be made more effective by 100% compliance with the daily banking directive and
removal of expensive insurance on overnight cash on premises.
b. Manager’s travel risk – physical injury - initially rated as extreme and reduced to high
because of the continued travel. Introduction of tele- conferencing would reduce this risk to nil.
CEO should provide an excusal letter to ensure the manager leaves at the appropriate time.
By-law Compliance risk – reputation/brand loss and fines - initially rated as high and reduced to
moderate but could be reduced again to low by having Brisbane plumbers install the tank and the
dual – f flush toilets in the next 14 days. Monitor should be constantly updated to keep staff
motivated and a procedure should be written. More internal audits are required.

Risk is a term finance used to describe the uncertainty that a future event with a
favorable outcome will occur. All business decisions and opportunities are based on
this concept that future performance and returns are uncertain and rely on many
uncontrollable variables.
For example, a production manager has to decide whether it will be worth investing
company funds into a new machine that will increase production and require less direct
labor. There is a certain amount of risk with this decision because there is no certainty
that the machine will operate the way it’s supposed to. Future sales could dry up and
leave the machine idle because there’s no demand for the product. It could also put a
strain on the cash flow of the company.
All of these factors contribute to the risk of purchasing this new asset. Managers have
to use financial ratios to help analyze the expected rate of return and see if it is worth
taking the risk on the new purchase.
4. Outline 3 different ways you can alert people to potential hazards and risks in the
workplace.
5. When determining the level of risk within an organisation, where would you gather
your information from?
6. Outline a strategy that you could implement to interest people / employees the
companies risk management process. Be sure to detail how you would maintain
the currency of information provided
There are two main types of standards applicable to occupational, health, safety and
welfare. These are: - National Standards produced by the National Occupational Health
and Safety Commission (NOHSC). These standards usually deal with workplace
hazards. A list of some of the applicable National Standards is included in Appendix 2
(Section 10.2) and Australian or Australian and New Zealand Standards produced by
Standards Australia in consultation with overseas standards bodies’ and Australian
working parties. These standards provide technical and design guidance information.
Standards are only enforceable by law if they are specifically included in State Acts and
or Regulations. Employee duty of care In addition to the responsibilities placed on
employers under OHS legislation, employees also have specific responsibilities.
Employers should be aware of and understand these responsibilities that include: •
taking reasonable care for the health and safety of people who are at the employee’s
place of work and who may be affected by the employee’s acts or omissions at work. •
co-operating with his or her employer or other person so far as is necessary to enable
compliance with any requirement under the legislation that is imposed in the interests
of health, safety and welfare.• not, intentionally or recklessly, interfere with or misuse
anything provided in the interests of health, safety and welfare under occupational
health and safety legislation.
Duty of Care
Under the NSW Occupational Health and Safety Act, all employers owe a duty of care to
all people at the workplace including those people who are not employees. This duty
encompasses the welfare of employees. Duty of care requires everything reasonably
practicable to be done to protect the health and safety of people at a workplace.
8. Outline the process you would use to ensure that any issues raised through
participative arrangements and consultations are dealt with and resolved promptly
and effectively?
9. You are to detail how you would identify an intervention point for expert risk

11. Describe AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management - Principles and Guidelines
ISO 31000:2009 can be used by any public, private or community enterprise,
association, group or individual. Therefore, ISO 31000:2009 is not specific to
any industry or sector.
ISO 31000:2009 can be applied throughout the life of an organization, and to a
wide range of activities, including strategies and decisions, operations,
processes, functions, projects, products, services and assets.
ISO 31000:2009 can be applied to any type of risk, whatever its nature,
whether having positive or negative consequences.
Although ISO 31000:2009 provides generic guidelines, it is not intended to
promote uniformity of risk management across organizations. The design and
implementation of risk management plans and frameworks will need to take
into account the varying needs of a specific organization, its particular
objectives, context, structure, operations, processes, functions, projects,
products, services, or assets and specific practices employed.
It is intended that ISO 31000:2009 be utilized to harmonize risk management
processes in existing and future standards. It provides a common approach in
support of standards dealing with specific risks and/or sectors, and does not
replace those standards.
ISO 31000:2009 is not intended for the purpose of certification.
12. Describe the documentation retention policy that applies to risk management
paperwork.
A document retention policy is simply a company's procedures for the preservation and
non-preservation of information. This includes traditional records and documents, as
well as documents or information stored in electronic or other formats, including e-mail,
text messages and information stored on mobile devices – think Smart-phones, iPads
and lap-top computers. Retention policies address the life cycle of a business' records
on all computer devices from their creation, through storage and destruction. Our ever-
changing mobile-data driven business models require a record retention policy that
recognizes and meets these changes.
13. What information should you include in your risk management action plan?
The risk management plan should include identifying risks upfront, analyzing
how risks will affect a project, potential risk planning, and monitoring risk.
14. Describe the steps you would take when implementing a risk management action
plan.
15. Describe the steps you would take when monitoring your risk management action
plan.
16. Describe the steps you would take when evaluating your risk management action
plan.
17. What are the 5 main risk types that face businesses
Competitive risk
Economic risk
Operational risk
Legal risk
Compliance risk
