Compute risks, control costs

Article Abstract:

Managing operations risk and control analysis is becoming an effective way of documenting and identifying financial losses that can be linked indirectly or directly to operations activity within firms. One way of conducting the analysis is via a computer model, and there are at least four general steps in the risk and control management process including: describing and quantifying associated business risks; describing and applying control procedures to associated risks; examining information to determine which risks are candidates for decreased or increased control; and establishing which control processes are candidates for reduction or elimination.
