Types of Operational Risk

Often abbreviated to ORM, operational risk management is the ongoing cycle of processes by which an organisation identifies risk, analyses risk value and ultimately implements the necessary controls to accept, mitigate or avoid each risk entirely. Or in other words, ORM refers to the entire risk management framework within an organisation to control, minimise and avoid risk. Operational risk incorporates any risk of loss resulting from failed or inadequate internal processes, systems or people, or any external events. ORM contributes toward the wider performance of the business, allowing goals and targets to be reached more effectively and efficiently.
