Risk Management Statement
The Commission has adopted the following approach to risk management:
The Commission is committed to managing risk to meet its financial, environmental and social responsibilities, and to support good business decision making.
The Commission’s implementation of a risk management framework demonstrates that risks have been assessed and are being managed in accordance with stakeholder expectations.
The Commission’s Executive and Senior Leadership Group are responsible for promoting risk management strategies and practices within the Commission and for ensuring that these strategies are communicated to and practised by all staff.
The Commission’s risk management framework is based on the Australia and New Zealand Risk Management Standard (AS/NZS 4360:2004), which defines risk and provides guidelines on policies, strategies and procedures to manage it.
