áhættustýring

Áhættustýring refers to the process of identifying, assessing, and controlling threats to an organization's capital and earnings. These threats, or risks, can stem from a wide variety of sources, including financial uncertainty, legal liabilities, strategic management errors, accidents, and natural disasters. The primary goal of áhættustýring is to minimize the negative impact of these risks while also capitalizing on any potential opportunities that may arise.

The áhættustýring process typically involves several key steps. First, risks are identified through methods such as brainstorming, checklists, and historical data analysis. Once identified, risks are assessed based on their likelihood of occurrence and their potential severity of impact. This assessment helps prioritize which risks require the most attention. Following assessment, strategies are developed to manage these risks. Common strategies include risk avoidance, risk reduction, risk transfer (such as through insurance), and risk acceptance. Finally, the implemented strategies are continuously monitored and reviewed to ensure their effectiveness and to adapt to changing circumstances. Effective áhættustýring is crucial for maintaining stability, achieving objectives, and ensuring the long-term success of any organization.
