Guide to inherent and residual risk

This is like confusing astronomy and astrology. Risk registers, heat maps, risk frameworks and qualitative risk reports have nothing to do with risk management, let alone risk based decision making.

Never compare inherent to residual risk again
The concept of inherent risk originated in insurance where underwriters used Maximum Possible Loss (MPL) to determine the total value that could be lost in a catastrophic event. MPL considers the absolute worst-case scenario, with no controls in place, even if it’s highly unlikely to occur. The concept of considering the worst-case scenario loss has… Continue reading Never compare inherent to residual risk again
