Risk Management

Why do we need to do a
Risk Management Workshop?
Management of risk is part of the statutory framework that governs
planning at Swinburne. Under Government requirements (Financial
Management Act 1994 & Australian and New Zealand Standards)
Swinburne must assess and mitigate risk where possible. There are
several ways to do this inluding Business Continuity Planning, Strategic
Planning and, under the Internal Audit umbrella, Risk Management
Workshops.

So what IS Risk Management?
Risk Management is a process that helps staff identify and address
specific risks related to their particular unit or area, and the
University. They will be not only the insurable risks, but also
highlights risks associated with issues such as change management,
service delivery and regulatory compliance.
It ...
- provides a sound basis for strategic planning;
- helps to minimise costly unforseen and adverse events;
- provides better outcomes in terms of program efficiency and effectiveness;
- supports management decision making.
Doing a
Risk Management Workshop in conjunction with your department's Business
Continuity Planning will assist units to focus on what is important
and where to spend your resources.
Internal Audit is responsible for running Risk Management Workshops
across Swinburne. All of these will ultimately enhance Swinburne's
delivery of services to both students and the wider community. For
Risk to be properly managed across the University, standard documentation is required. To book a workshop contact Miranda Addison. |
