5 9 Understanding basic terminology Risk Appetite Defined as the amount and type of risk that an organisation is willing to pursue or retain. It is usually defined in quantitative and qualitative terms (as not all risks can be quantified). Risk appetite is a dynamic concept and needs to be revisited regularly. Risk Tolerance Defined as an organisation s or stakeholder s readiness to bear the risk after risk treatment in order to achieve its objectives. While risk appetite is about the pursuit of risk, risk tolerance is about what an organisation can bear. There will be occasions where an organisation can bear more risk than it is thought prudent to pursue particularly where tolerance levels are influenced or defined by legal or regulatory requirements. Risk Capacity Relates to an organisation s capabilities to take on and manage risk. Capabilities include people, capital, technology, timing, resources etc. Assurance Advisory Group Strategic growth Confident Decisions - Anticipate and proactively deflect the most common barriers to growth.
