What is the Scoring Process?
The IQRM is designed to evaluate your organization’s management of risk. The scoring system determines effectiveness through the assessment of policies, procedures and controls.
When evaluating risks based on the criteria contained in the Risk Check Survey, you should consider the following in determining effectiveness:
Activities
Tasks and actions that create or implement risk management policies, practices, procedures and programs.
Behaviors
Actions and conduct that affect performance – positively or negatively.
Internal Controls
Internal processes, assessments and framework for ensuring compliance with program goals.
Internal Assessments
Risks that have the potential to cause loss, peril, or vulnerability; or that create opportunities for organizational success.
Outcomes
Qualitative and quantitative measurements and metrics that assure the achievement of risk management and organizational goals and objectives.
