Risk treatment

Abstract

Risk treatment is a fundamental aspect of the risk management process, encompassing strategies to mitigate, transfer, avoid, or accept risks in a structured and effective manner. As businesses and institutions navigate increasingly complex risk landscapes, the need for well-defined risk treatment mechanisms becomes essential to ensuring resilience and continuity. This volume, Risk Treatment, is part of the FERMA-rimap® Series, a dynamic and evolving body of knowledge designed to support risk professionals in their pursuit of excellence. It provides a comprehensive exploration of risk treatment principles, frameworks, and methodologies, making it a valuable resource for both seasoned professionals and newcomers to the field. By bridging theoretical foundations with practical applications, this book enables risk managers to design and implement effective risk treatment strategies tailored to their organisational needs. Throughout this volume, key aspects of risk treatment are examined, such as risk control and reduction techniques, risk financing, including insurance and reinsurance, business continuity planning, and alternative risk transfer mechanisms. Each chapter presents real-world insights, case studies, and best practices to illustrate how risk treatment contributes to sustainable and robust risk management frameworks. [extract]
