Abstract
This paper defines risk management and assessment and discusses their importance to corporations and the public. The paper then focuses on effective risk management tools. It describes three websites and discusses their understanding of risk management. The paper also discusses specific websites that do not display a thorough understanding of risk management and assessment.
From the Paper
"Risk management needs to be understood from a variety of angles. Firstly, risk should be defined for its nature and effect upon not only the company, but also all possible stakeholders. Risk management procedures exist to protect both the workplace, the workforce, or the public. Risk to the corporation is anything endangering the vision, mission and profitability of the company. Secondly, risk to the workforce entails those risks that may result in injury or death to the employee, or that may lead to health or other physical hazards. Employees may also incur risks from non-physical sources such as long work hours or a highly stressful job situation, which could be brought about by a variety of factors. Thirdly, risks can also be posed to the public, in terms of health, safety and financial well-being. A gas company may for example risk the health of the surrounding population by exceeding legally allowed gas emissions."

"Risk assessment has reached a new level of importance in the Information Age. The growth of sophisticated networked information systems and distributed computing has created a potentially dangerous environment for private and public organizations. ?Critical data -- such as from trade secrets, proprietary information, troop movements, sensitive medical records and financial transactions -- flows through these systems? (Hammond 1999:69). Consequently, organizations are becoming increasingly concerned with potential exposure and are looking for ways to evaluate their organization's security profile today. Risk assessment software applications systems allow researchers, managers and others to perform "what if" analyses of the value of their information and various threats and vulnerabilities. For instance, risk assessment software systems such as NetSolar by Cisco, use both passive analysis and active probing methods to identify security vulnerabilities, which may increase the efficiency of vulnerability identification and reduce false-positive results. Hamilton reports that these technical assessments can differentiate between infrastructure devices (routers, switches, or firewalls) and host devices (user workstations or servers such as e-mail servers and Web servers). ?Technical vulnerability tools can find vulnerabilities in network TCP/IP hosts, UNIX hosts, Windows NT hosts, Web servers, mail servers, FTP servers, firewalls, routers and switches? (Hamilton 1999:69)."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer explains that given the highly confidential nature of the content management, pricing, product, service and distribution data delivered to Ford Motor Company locations and the applications for order status, online ordering and quoting being central to the structure of the company, there are many business and security risks of propagating these tools to their dealers. The writer notes that security risks, internal risks of embezzlement and fraud, risks of valuable pricing and volume data being comprised, and the risks of a natural disaster all must specifically be planned for in any risk assessment. The writer concludes that managing risk by focusing on the value of assets and the need to protect core intellectual properties is a core requirement for Ford going forward.

From the Paper
"First with security risks the impact could be in the range of between $20M to $100M per dealer being fired, as this is the typical dealer backlog in each region. Coupling this with the risks of embezzled and misdirected funds due to lower morale, and the costs could easily go into the hundreds of millions of dollars. The risks of firing dealers and have them sell their pipelines to competing dealers or take the pipeline and redirect them to new car models is significant."
"Take just fleet sales for example. This could be a major risk of redirected sales pipelines and "sold" pipeline lines to other dealers that for a large dealer in a major metro market say for example Los Angeles, could amount to over 50,000 vehicles a year."

From the Paper
"The New Jersey Office of Emergency Management (NJOEM) is a multi-bureau section of the State of New Jersey's governmental apparatus. The 3 bureaus that comprise the NJOEM are the Communications Bureau, the Emergency Preparedness Bureau, and the Recovery Bureau and the NJOEM resides within the New Jersey State Police infrastructure (Organization, 2007). While the NJOEM has always existed to respond to emergencies of all types including terrorism, terrorism and terrorist acts have received greater emphasis within the NJOEM following the well-documented events of 9/11. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines terrorism in the following manner: "the unlawful use of force against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in the furtherance of political or social objectives" (Emergency, 2007)."

FedEx Risk Assessment, 2007.
A discussion of the risk assessment performed by FedEx to determine what types of risks the company may face.

»

Abstract
This paper examines the risk assessment performed by FedEx, which measures the amount of risks that could impact the company. The paper also looks at how this process helps the organization identify risks and ways of treating them before a major disaster occurs. The paper explains that FedEx is committed to protecting its reputation and organization by implementing risk strategies that would possibly reduce risk and potential impacts that are related to disasters and other major threats. The paper also discusses how the company established an effective recovery capability to help re-initiate critical, core business processes following a significant, unplanned interruption of normal processing. The paper further points out that these strategies were implemented to help guard against unacceptable financial and operational impacts caused by unidentified risk and threats.
From the Paper
"FedEx currently has many major facilities and stations around the world, with this FedEx is vulnerable to all kinds of risks. The company has hundreds of cargo and commercial airlines that are potential targets for bomb threats or terrorism attacks. Many of the company's critical facilities are located near water, and if a natural disaster like a hurricane strike, it could cause severe damage to the operations. Other potential impacts and threats the company could face are security issues, earthquakes, storms, bomb threats, and terrorism.
There are many potential risks and impacts FedEx could face that may leave the organization in a chaotic state. Nearly 60% of disasters usually come from non-catastrophic events. The company's airline fleet and hub locations at airports are targets for potential bomb and terrorist threats."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the effect the new risk assessment standards (SAS 104-111) will have on upcoming audits. The paper explains that the standards were put in place by the AICPA Auditing board to enhance audit quality and are to take place for all audits for a period that begins after December 15, 2006. The paper also points out that these standards will affect the way audits are conducted and will place a larger focus on areas considered riskiest and most susceptible to financial statement misstatement. The paper then evaluates why these changes were made, what these changes are, the impact these changes will have on audit firms, audit clients, and all the way audits will change including fees, scheduling and test works. In conclusion, the paper establishes that these standards have a large impact on how audits are conducted and how these standards will try to make audits more efficient and financial misstatements less common.

From the Paper
"The fall season has often been the slow part of the year for auditors and audit clients with financial statements and tax returns out of the way, but this year has been different mainly due to the implementation of the Risk Assessment Standards SAS 104-111. The main change due to these standards is that companies no longer have to simply gain an understanding of internal controls of significant transaction classes, but now have to evaluate internal controls and create custom programs based on these evaluations to test these significant areas. This has resulted in firms calling clients and telling them that their fees may increase by 30 percent compared to years previous. This has also resulted in more preliminary work on audits being done during the planning phase of the audit. The way audits are completed will likely never be the same because of these standards."

Abstract
This paper discusses how insider trading is usually inclusive of both legal and illegal conduct and also defines what forms of insider trading are legal and which are illegal, as well as the risks involved with both. This paper also discusses the importance of communication in assessing the risk of insider trading.
Content:
Introduction
Analysis
Identify the Risks to Individuals and/or Organizations
Analyze the Risks
Discuss Impact, Probability and Time Frame
Classify Risks and Prioritize Them
Discuss Financial Reporting, Operational and Compliance Risks
Discuss the Importance of Information Sharing to Develop Risk Assessment Models.
Discuss the Legal Boundaries, Including Privacy Issues.
Discuss Risk Mitigation Strategies.
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In general, the legal view is that insider trading prevails while a person has "material, nonpublic information" regarding a security or its issuer and buys or sells that security. The SEC has specified that an individual with such inside information has to move away from trading in the securities of the company or correctly reveal what he or she knows even before buying or selling them. Those who violate these rules are subject to civil penalties of about three times the illegal profits which are being gained or losses prevented by the insider trading in addition to criminal penalties. Criminal penalties for individuals may mean a fine of as about $5 million, prison as long as 20 years or even both. Courts have also allowed injured private parties to sue for the purpose of damages. (Ivancevich; Jones; Keaveney, 2002) Thus the penalties or risks are now pretty severe."

"Reefs provide habitat and nursery grounds for 10 to 20 percent of the world?s fisheries. Life-saving medicines, anticoagulants, and anticancer agents, such as prostaglandin come from coral reefs. They contain symbiotic algae in their tissues, enabling them to grow into massive organisms and provide habitat and food resources for reef dwellers such as lobsters, sea urchins and giant clams. Natural disturbances, such as hurricanes, usually help maintain balance between organisms by maintaining numbers of stronger species with weaker ones and recovery can occur within 10 to 20 years. It is the human impact that causes the ability of the reefs to recover from natural phenomenon to be virtually impossible [3]. Fifty-eight percent of the world?s reefs are at risk due to four primary factors: industrial pollution, climate change, overexploitation and destructive fishing, and tourism."

Conclusions and Analysis
From the Paper
"Shareholders can realize significant opportunities through mergers when they create greater value and improve an organization's ability to grow and produce greater revenues (Galpin & Herndon, p. 1). Ideally an acquisition is initiated to improve cash flow from operating the target firm as the two firms merge together (Stevn, 2005). Cash flow increases when a company buys a target firm or mergers with them when both companies agree the value of the two companies combined will result in higher revenues and shareholder value than if they two companies worked independent of each other (Stevn, 2005; Galpin & Herndon, 2000)."

Risk Assessment in the Fire Service, 2008.
This paper discusses levels of acceptable risk in the fire service since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
2,192 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 68.95
»

Abstract
The paper relates that in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the level of acceptable risk changed and the public demanded action. The paper provides a review of some of the recent fire events that have sparked a public outcry and outlines what steps were taken in response to public demand. The paper shows how over time, public pressure tends to focus attention on the worst offenders in any type of disaster-related trends in an effort to raise the acceptable level of risk involved.
Outline:
Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, many observers were heard to comment that, "Things would never be the same again," and in many ways they were right. One of the more pressing issues to emerge since September 11 has been the call for improved security and communications across the country to help first responders better cope with the mayhem and chaos that are natural concomitants of such events. Establishing an acceptable level of risk for fire hazards following the highly publicized collapse of the World Trade Center is a risk assessment responsibility, but it has been heavily influenced by the risk management demands of all of the stakeholders involved, which is to say the American public."
