Document background
The Risk Assessment and Management Policy serves as a foundational document for organizations operating in South Africa, establishing systematic approaches to risk management in accordance with local regulations and international best practices. This policy becomes necessary when organizations need to formalize their risk management processes, comply with regulatory requirements, or enhance their governance structures. The document typically includes comprehensive risk assessment methodologies, control measures, reporting procedures, and governance frameworks aligned with South African legislation, including the Companies Act and King IV Report requirements. It's particularly relevant in the current business environment where organizations face increasingly complex risks and regulatory scrutiny.
