Entities are required to show the approach taken to identify a particular risk initiative,
including evidence of the planning undertaken to determine the strategies, processes,
and resources required to achieve the goals and objectives of the specific risk initiative.
Entities would need to demonstrate excellence by providing strong evidence of:



the purpose and goals of a specific risk initiative, including evidence of initial
planning, research and ongoing senior management approval;
details of the strategies, plans and processes that guided successful
implementation; and
the proposed approach in integrating the program/policy into the entity’s
operating environment, and importantly, linking the risk management initiative
with the entity’s overarching risk management framework.

implemented;
