8 Risks and Controls

9 Copyright © 2015 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 8 What are Risks and Controls? Ask most people why cars have brakes and they’ll say, “It's so you can slow down”… Risk is the potential for loss or harm — or the diminished opportunity for gain — that can adversely affect the achievement of an organization’s objectives. Risk: Meeting with an Accident Control: Presence of Brakes …But the real reason is so you can go faster, and still be in control.

Businesses thrive by taking risks but falter when risk is managed ineffectively. A Risk Intelligent Enterprise recognizes this dual nature of risk, and devotes sufficient resources both to risk taking for reward and to the protection of existing assets.
