SAP Risk Management acts as a central platform for managing enterprise risks and compliance. It aids companies in integrating and coordinating risk management activities, enhancing their understanding of risks, and planning appropriate responses to safeguard the enterprise.
The system harmonizes risk management efforts across SAP Process Control and SAP Audit Management, ensuring a unified view of controls and responses.
Here are the five main capabilities:
- Risk Planning serves as a central repository for documenting the Enterprise Risk Management framework, harmonizing information on objectives, risk categories, impacts, and responses. It integrates data seamlessly with SAP Process Control and SAP Audit Management for standardized risk management documentation.
- Risk Identification focuses on creating a comprehensive list of potential risks including their drivers, impacts, and responses, serving as a foundation for further risk assessment and strategy development. This proactive identification improves organizations' resilience and decision-making.
- Risk Analysis provides insights that help prioritize risks, allocate resources, and implement appropriate strategies. By understanding the risk landscape, organizations can anticipate threats, capture opportunities, and enhance resilience and performance.
- Risk Treatment involves managing and mitigating identified risks through strategies like risk avoidance, reduction, transfer, and acceptance. Continuous monitoring and review mechanisms ensure the effectiveness and relevance of these strategies over time.
- Risk Monitoring and Reporting entails continuously tracking and assessing risks, providing timely reports on their status, and ensuring that appropriate actions are taken to mitigate or manage risks effectively. This ongoing process helps to maintain organizational resilience and informed decision-making.
Overall, SAP Risk Management aims to identify, assess, and mitigate risks to protect an organization's operations, financial performance, and reputation, fostering a resilient and sustainable business environment.
