     l Risk identification can not be a 'one-off ' exercise but
          continuous monitoring & review are important,

     l Whatever is planned must be financial reasonable; there
          is no logic in spending Rs.100 on identifying a risk that
          can only result in a Rs. 10 loss

     l Accurate record keeping must accompany any risk
          identification

     l Certain element of imagination is required in anticipating
          risk, which can come only through experience.
