Of late, the world has seen the failure of forecasting financial risk properly, anomalies, and the impact of that. One of the key features of the recent corruption and failings in institutes such as banks, businesses, and financial institutions, particularly in the West, has been a lack of planning, monitoring, poor management, not recognising threats, and a lack of procedures set up to minimise the failings. It has caused a loss of opportunities and huge investments such as pension funds being lost and delivered poor services. It has not only affected and devastated the economies of many countries such as Iceland but has had a global impact. What is clear is that lessons have not always been learned, and we see mistakes being repeated on a daily basis.
The level 3 diploma in management at Open Learning College examines changes in risk management practice against the context of the changes in the UK, EU, US, and global economy, to meet legislature and will be of particular interest to those needing to practice risk management skills on a day-to-day basis. Many of the skills covered will be similar or overlap with qualities needed for a competent and professional manager or leader. It provides detailed learning on a range of relevant risk management topics, combining theoretical background with practical tools, risk management techniques, and risk communication formats.
Course Key Topics
the Risk Management (Level 3) course is divided into 10 modules.
Module 1: What is Risk Management?
Murphy states that ‘what can, will go wrong!’ Risk can be minimised by being prepared for every problem and issue, or what to do if something does go wrong or not as expected. This module will introduce the types and background to modern concepts of risk management (RM) skills, and how these can change and develop within a business management context. It examines the way RM evolves, how to assess and set guidelines or processes to mitigate difficulties, and the risk manager’s role in this process. The module concludes a range of guidelines and framework (often called re-engineering risk) how to implement new skills and behaviours in order to reduce practical risk issues, by looking at effective RM e.g. using SWOT analysis or SMAR objectives.
Module 2: The individual as a Risk Manager
The best way to learn is by using an actual example, Cortal-plc Corp to examine the role and focuses on some essential core skills for a risk manager, with tips and techniques for successful risk management. Risk goal-setting, risk problem-solving, effective risk resolution meetings, risk interviewing, working with others e.g. through training and giving or receiving risk related feedback are addressed. Relevant IT tools, systems and application are explored, including risk landscape analysis. The role of a risk manager to set procedures, be clear and open, try not to under-risk and lead or involve others to manage risk is explored.
Module 3: Risk Structure and Environment, RiskSE
The key issues and components covered to assess RiskSE are vision, strategy, design, plan, implementation, analysis and lessons learned post-project. This module includes an assessment of different features and types of risk organisation structure and the various environments within which risk organisations operate. This module assesses recent trends, available support such as IT packages or activities one can use and the move towards the use of risk integration. Strategies and direction at how to transform and analyse risk initiatives, and the effects to anticipate a risk organisation future evolution is discussed. The various roles and tasks involved such as for e.g. Risk Architecture, Risk Planner, Analyst or Manager are explored.
Module 4: Managing Risk Processes
A company that had tried to introduce a Risk Total Quality and improved processes to improve quality and value-for-money, but failed for 2-3 years is used as a real case study sample. The company’s internal features of a risk organisation, including planning and strategy, risk costs and budgets and the benefits of understanding the risk processes is considered. A consultant was recruited to assess and implement required change within a six-month period. They developed a customised Risk product development life cycle. The findings, plans, reviewing these with staff, amending, implementation design, testing, monitoring and outcomes will be explored. Practical advice is provided on facilitation of workshops, in the context of risk process improvement.
Module 5: Managing Risk Projects
If a project overruns and costs escalate those in management will be blamed. Companies have a legal duty to disclose such failings early and quickly. The module asks ‘What is a risk project’, providing a step-by-step breakdown of the key phases for managing risk projects successfully. It provides advice on financing risk projects, and on quality risk assessment. The module provides guidance on risk project team roles and effective brainstorming for problem-solving. Presently in the UK, Tesco, a large supermarket change has misled shareholders and the public about their profit forecasts, and failure to do this is illegal and fails certain regulatory obligations. Planning and estimating costs and risks, and how to evaluate will be assessed.
Module 6: Managing Risk Diversity, MRiskD.
Diversity in terms of risk is discussed because no matter the type of diversity, it has to be managed professional with attention to detail so that the performance is measured in terms of Risk/Change strategy. Companies need to embrace the increasingly diverse UK, EU, US and global risk mandates and the business case for managing by diversity-unification principles and this is discussed. Key risk issues and legislation issues will be examined, including common challenges and potential conflicts in real business examples, and diverse risk themes of international regulatory styles will be explored, e.g. a company specialising in Wireless and Broadband is able to offer training East European countries under-going cultural, Risk management and technological change using its unique MRiskD methodology.
Module 7: Risk and Change
There are a vast number of laws and regulations concerning Corporate Risk, non-compliance and some of these are addressed with regard to Governance in the management of change since those in power will determine what will be managed. Risk and change may be regarded as a ‘chicken and egg principle’ – which comes first? Often organisations are challenged to change in order not to be penalised, but it can also be a reason to e.g. improve performance, restructure and change the organisational culture, and how this can be done is investigated. Accordingly a review of risk-caused/affecting organisational changes, managing the risk-change process and dealing with individual resistance and cultural issues is included. The use of coaching, mentoring and facilitation development is explored in a context of companies never quite managing to meet every legislative and internal change required, so change in small sections or as distinct projects is advocated. The role of every individual in an organisation is discussed in terms of strategic goals and business objectives.
Module 8: Quality and Risk
If you cannot size it, you cannot measure it, and if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it – this is a quality and risk axiom. Every business hopes to deliver quality in terms of the service and products it offers. Risk control as a measure for quality performance will be discussed. The use of risk goals, related risk performance indicators, service level agreements and benchmarking will be considered, along with a review of quality-risk management improvement. Countless frameworks, standards, techniques and concepts e.g. a quality management computer system for improving product or service quality and some examples will be investigated in the contexts of companies and business environment.
Module 9: Audit and Risk
If you cannot audit it, you cannot measure it, and if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it – this is an audit and risk axiom. Historically audits were conducted to assess and guarantee and gather financial information about a business, but today audits are a general measure of objects with information on e.g. IT- and environment systems and risk programme implementation. The use of audit objectives, related risk-audit performance indicators, service level agreements and benchmarking are considered, along with a review of audit-risk management improvement. Auditors are generally conducted by independent people who must adhere to standards set by governing professional bodies that regulate business. This helps to provide assurance for a third party that the audit reports present ‘fairly’ a company’s financial condition and results of operating performance. Internal auditors are also employed for larger companies and they evaluate performance, manage output, and mitigate risks on a daily basis.
Module 10: Ethics and Risk
The rise of corporate and banks scandals continue to headline our news due to fraud, dishonesty, oversight and corruption. With this the number of compliance measures for Risk and Misconduct reduction, rules and regulations grow, are developed and enforced, yet they fail to deter and totally stop the scandals. This module examines recent trends in business ethics which arose out of historic values to encourage people not to ‘do bad business, steal and rob their neighbours’, corporate governance and wisdom, environmental issues and social responsibility. Practical advice is provided with tips and guidance on making ethics and risk presentations so that every employee is aware of business risk and ethics. Finally, the course review is done to reflect on the learning and also to help think about career goals and next steps.

Career Profile - Risk Manager
Career Profile
Risk managers advise organisations on any potential risks to the profitability, safety, security or existence of the company
You’ll identify and assess threats to an organisation, put plans in place for if things go wrong and decide how to avoid, reduce or transfer risk.
Areas of risk management
You may work in a variety of sectors and specialise in a number of areas, including:
* business continuity
* commodity (buying and selling) risk
* corporate governance
* enterprise risk
* environmental risk
* financial risk
* information and security risk
* insurance risk
* market and credit risk
* regulatory and operational risk
* technology risk.
Responsibilities
Specific tasks will vary considerably depending on the area of risk you work in, for example financial or operational risk management, how specialised your role is and the level at which you’re working.
However, as a risk manager, you’ll typically need to:
* plan, design and implement an overall risk management process for the organisation
* make risk assessments, which involves analysing risks as well as identifying, describing and estimating the risks affecting the business
* evaluate risk, which involves comparing estimated risks with criteria established by the organisation such as costs, legal requirements and environmental factors, and evaluate previous handling of risks
* establish and quantify the organisation’s ‘risk appetite’, i.e. the level of risk they are prepared to accept
* report risk in an appropriate way for different audiences, for example, to the board of directors so they understand the most significant risks, to business heads to ensure they are aware of risks relevant to their parts of the business and to individuals to understand their accountability for individual risks
* undertake corporate governance involving external risk reporting to stakeholders
* carry out processes such as purchasing insurance, implementing health and safety measures, and making business continuity plans to limit risks and prepare for if things go wrong
* review risk policies regularly to ensure they are compliant with relevant new legislation
* conduct audits of policy and compliance to standards, including liaison with internal and external auditors
* provide support, education and training to staff to build risk awareness within the organisation.
Salary
* Risk management is not an entry-level role. Typical salaries for those starting in a risk technician role are around £21,000, rising to in the region of £30,000 or more for risk analysts.
* Salaries for risk managers are around £30,000 to £45,000, depending on your experience.
* Senior risk managers can earn in the region of £45,000 to £80,000, rising to in excess of this amount for those with substantial experience at director level.
Salaries vary widely depending on the sector, level of responsibility and location. The highest salaries are found in financial sectors and in London-based positions.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
Working hours are typically 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. You can expect to work additional hours at more senior levels.
Part-time work and career breaks are possible and are more likely in larger organisations.
What to expect
* Work is primarily office based but often includes visits to other offices to see clients (if you’re working in consultancy) or to sites (if you’re working in sectors such as construction or energy). At a more senior level, you may spend time away from the office at conferences.
* There are opportunities for self-employment for experienced risk managers who want to set up their own consultancy. There may also be opportunities to work abroad as demand for risk managers is growing, particularly in fast-developing economies.
* Work in risk management can carry personal liability, in particular with relation to the health and safety elements of risk work.
* The amount of travel involved in the working day depends on the size of the organisation and your level of responsibility. Risk management jobs are available across the UK.
* Overseas travel may be required if you’re working for a company that operates internationally.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* interpersonal, communication and presentation skills
* problem-solving and decision-making abilities
* analytical skills
* a good eye for detail
* negotiation skills and the ability to influence key stakeholders
* resilience and the ability to cope under pressure
* planning and organisation skills
* the ability to react quickly and think on your feet
* technical acumen
* the skills to be a team player and to work on your own
* leadership qualities
* numerical skills and the ability to evaluate costs
* a proactive approach to work, in terms of suggesting changes and improvements to processes and systems
* commercial awareness and the ability to understand broad business issues.
Career prospects
You’re likely to start in the risk management profession through a graduate training programme or enter at a risk technician/analyst level. With experience, your career can develop to the level of risk manager, with progression to chief risk officer (CRO) after ten or more years’ experience.
Opportunities for career development are increasing as organisations are often recognising the need to appoint CROs as board members. Departments are also restructuring and making risk a key part of their strategy.
Risk management roles and experience can be transferred across a range of sectors, and risk managers enjoy great flexibility in the transferability of their expertise and skills. Transferring across sectors can often open up opportunities to gain higher salaries, better prospects and sponsorship of further qualifications.
Self-employment is also possible and risk managers may progress to open their own consultancy or become freelance contractors.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
