Figure 4: Business Process Model of the Risk Management Cycle
Source: Author’s compilation
The Risk analysis is primarily a rule-based approach. The procedures for measuring the risk and
the possible consequences of a high level of uncertainty are defined at this stage of the CRM
cycle. In many CAs, this is the most challenging stage since many people think that this is
unmeasurable. If CA understands how to measure risk and uncertainty that have already been
identified in the first stage of the cycle, they can effectively implement risk analysis process that
will be the basis for all the next stages in the risk management cycle.
