Featuring 990 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Risk Appetite improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 990 standard requirements:


1. How are the latest market developments translated in opportunities and risks, and does your business risk appetite take financial, reputational and continuity risks into account?
   
   

2. Is there a legitimate business need for rapid innovation and disruption, and a higher risk appetite or, conversely, is the business need more risk adverse or compliance driven?
   
   

3. Are reviews and revalidation of user access for least privilege and separation of duties completed with a frequency commensurate with organizational risk tolerance?
   
   

4. What is the level of comprehensiveness of literature on financial risk assessment, taking into consideration different disciplines, time frames, and cultures?
   
   

5. When collaborating, has your organization limited the data, information, and knowledge it shares to only what is necessary and within its risk tolerance?
   
   

6. Should the board provide more clarity around when the liquidity buffer would be allowed to be used to meet liquidity needs during times of stress?
   
   

7. Have you identified the limits of your risk appetite, that is, at what point should the decision regarding the management of a risk be escalated?
   
   

8. How do you balance your risk appetite with your growth ambitions to step outside of traditional value pools that are predictable and regulated?
   
   

9. Do you have established investment objectives, including a timeframe, spending policy, acceptable rate of return, goals, and risk tolerance?
   
   

10. How does the board identify the opportunities and ensure that the risks that come with new ventures are managed within the risk appetite?
