What is a risk manager?
Risk is a reality for all organisations, and can cover a wide range of economic, health, legal, criminal and environmental factors. Left unaddressed, risk can have a devastating impact on organisations.
Designing ways to reduce risk is the pivotal role of the risk manager, who analyses an organisation’s risk profile and develops strategies for monitoring and controlling it.
How do I achieve it?
Risk managers tend to be graduates or experienced risk professionals, although entry roles exist in administration and support. The ACCA Strategic Professional Options exams that will help those considering risk management as a career are:
- Advanced Financial Management (AFM)
- Advanced Taxation (ATX)
