An introduction to risk management





                           The risk framework





                             1.1   Introduction to risk management

                             The control and mitigation of risk costs money and takes up
                             management time, so it is critical that we can understand the benefits of
                             risk management and compare these to the costs to assess whether a
                             risk management strategy is worthwhile.
