QUESTION 1

Risk management is the process of identifying, evaluating, and controlling risks that could lead
to financial or operational losses. It is a systematic approach used by businesses and
individuals to minimize uncertainties and potential threats while maximizing opportunities. Risk
management goes beyond simply purchasing insurance; it involves a broad strategy to handle
all possible risks, both insurable and non-insurable.

Risk management is essential in both business and personal settings. It ensures that
organizations can anticipate potential risks, assess their impact, and implement strategies to
reduce or eliminate them. The process involves three key steps:

1. Risk Identification – Recognizing potential threats that could lead to financial or
operational losses.
