safety laws, unsolicited consumer agreements, lay-by agreements and penalties,
among other things.
Australia has a national legal framework to govern product safety and information
standards. - Product liability regulation These requirements are intended to prevent
the marketing of dangerous items in Australia.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission up holds the criteria
(ACCC).
The enforcement of product safety regulations involves both federal, state, and
local fair trading offices. The main responsibility of state and territorial
administrations is to help consumers.
Law pertaining to the environment Environmental protection is cooperatively
managed by the Australian Government, State and Territory Governments, and
Local Governments. The procedure for evaluating and approving national
environmental and cultural concerns is governed by legislation issued by the
Australian government. Environmental protection laws from the states and
territories apply to particular economic operations.
Privacy regulations The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC),
which is responsible for enforcing national privacy laws in Australia, controls how
corporations can gather, access, and keep personal information. The administration
of sensitive information, such as medical records, is subject to special regulations.

4.2 Do any regulations apply?


Answer
The Fair Work Act of 2009 (FW Act) and the Fair Work Regulations of 2009 are the
major pieces of fair work law we deal with. They control how employees and
employers interact in Australia. They offer a safety net of minimal rights, allow for
flexible scheduling and workplace equality, and stop discrimination against workers.
From July 1, 2009, until approximately 2014, certain components of the Fair Work
system might be implemented progressively according to the Fair Work
(Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2009.
Corporations Act 2001: The main piece of legislation governing businesses in
Australia is the Corporations Act 2001. It encompasses businesses and other types
of organizations, like partnerships. The Corporations Act governs issues such as
how to register a firm and how companies should conduct themselves during
insolvency.
1988 Privacy Act: The Privacy Act of 1988 governs the Australian Government's
and its agencies' use and dissemination of the data they amass on people.
The 2010 Competition and Consumer Act: The majority of the market is covered
under the Supplier, Wholesaler, Retailer, and Consumer Relationships Act 2010
(Competition and Consumer Act 2010). Its goal is to improve the welfare of

Australians by fostering fair trade, healthy competition, and consumer protections.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission enforces the Competition
and Consumer Act 2010 external-icon.png.
4.3 Is there the potential for new laws to be introduced or existing ones to be
amended or rescinded?
Answer
Yes, changes to tax rules and regulations governing businesses entering new markets
are necessary if governments and authorities hope to revive their economies following
the slump brought on by COVID-19.

4.4 Which risk management standard/s are used or guide the risk management
activities of the business?

7 Identify stakeholders who will be part of the risk management process.
7.1 Who is able to shed light on or assist with risk identification, risk analysis and/or
risk control?
Answer
 . CEO and board of directors,
 a financial manager and an assistant,
 other managers of connected departments, and risk management specialists
7.2 Who is likely to be impacted by an adverse risk event?
Answer
Such a risk will have an effect on the entire firm because it will prohibit the achievement
of goals and objectives, which will result in job losses for personnel.
7.3 How will each stakeholder provide input to the risk management process (such
as identifying possible risks, helping describe their impact and suggesting ways
to prevent or mitigate risks)?
Answer
o When providing input for risk management, stakeholders can play a
variety of roles. For instance: - The finance manager and department can
supply data based on financial statements, the corporate financial health
of the organization, and market rates. Information pertaining to
accounting and auditing chores or cash flows for investing, financing, and
operating operations is available from the account manager and payroll
officer.
o The sales department can offer information about consumer preferences
and strategic context for risk management activities.
o The human resources department can offer insight on the personality and
output of employees.

7.4 What influence does each stakeholder have on risk management decisions?
Answer
Stakeholders have varying perspectives on risk management choices, therefore
their influences can range. An organization's growth and potential for progress may
be slowed if it does not take risks. Contrarily, taking risks can boost an
organization's productivity as well as its capacity for creativity and innovation.
- A risk-taker frequently views dangers as opportunities. They prefer taking risks
and find it tough to do so; yet, their extreme optimism can occasionally result in
losses. You will find fewer hazards if your stakeholders actively seek risk.

- Risk neutrals approach risks systematically. They perform multiple analyses using
tools like the Decision Tree Method, Expected Monetary Value (EMV), and other
techniques before coming to a well-informed conclusion.
Risk-tolerant people feel at ease ignoring hazards. They prefer to ignore risks until
they become a problem.

7.5 What are the possible issues each stakeholder may have if a risk event occurs
(for example, employees will still want to be paid, customers may still need your
products or services and banks will still need to be paid for loans etc)?
Answer
Risk events could cause the company to suffer a substantial loss, making it
impossible for it to continue operating. As a result, there aren't enough products
available to meet consumer demand.
- Problems with employee salaries and wages due to insufficient cash flow; this
could result in conflict with the labour union or force the company to scale back in
order to retain its condition.
- Brand reputation damage - Stock price decline - Legal problems as a result of
past-due bank borrowing

Section 2: Identify and analyse risk

1 Plan to discuss risks with invited stakeholders (identified in Section 1).


1.1 Choose a tool or technique to facilitate the group discussion to identify risks
within the scope of the risk management process
Note: At the meeting, you will collaboratively choose three risks to focus on as
a group.
Answer
Probability and Impact Matrix: Project managers can use this matrix to help
prioritize risks based on their potential impact. It aids in the distribution of resources
for risk management. The likelihood scores and effect scores of individual risks are
combined in this method. Following completion of all calculations, the risks are
graded according to their seriousness. This method aids in putting the risk in the
context of the project and aids in the development of plans for minimizing it.
1.2 List what will be discussed (e.g. identify risks, assess risks, risk treatments,
priorities etc.)
Answer
Detail the risk management process, including its steps and documentation needs,
review the risk assessment matrix, and list any potential risks.
1.3 What method and scale will you use to assess the likelihood and severity of the
risks?
Answer
The probability of each risk materializing must be determined for each risk the
organization chooses to manage. The possibility of a risk must be determined by
averaging the opinions of at least two stakeholders. The following scale must be
used to do this:
Rare 1
Unlikely 2
Likely 3
Very likely 4

Similar to this, the risk impact must be determined by averaging at least two
stakeholder estimates using the scale below:
Minor 1
Moderate 2
significant 3
Catastrophic 4

1.4 What will guide how you prioritise risk (e.g. risk matrix)?
Answer
 Extreme and high hazards ought to be given top consideration.
 Medium priority should be given to moderate hazards.
 Low and extremely low hazards should not be prioritized.

1.5 What are you prepared to negotiate?


Answer

We appreciate all of your time and effort at our previous meeting, dear everyone. I
am aware that it was really taxing, but the outcomes are excellent.
Three key concerns have been identified, including the dangers of rising salaries
and salary costs, cash flow imbalances, and mismatched invoicing.
According to our rules and processes, the risk management matrix is used to
evaluate each risk.

safe to use. Also, company members should take part in evacuation strategy training
so people inside the incident do not panic.
Management of risk can prevent non-compliance risks, so all company members are
responsible for complying with laws and regulations.
Financial risk can be reduced by carefully selecting clients to trust, and by analysing
the risks before making decisions. Continually monitor the financial status of the
company and make plans for preventing damages related to the identified risk.

Answer
Yes, because COVID-19 is so simple to use, there is a risk of modifying borrowing
rates. As a result of the banks' decision to raise interest rates, we will have to
distribute a sizable sum for interest charges and cash outflow. Since this increase
in expenses is not offset by an increase in revenue, we must come up with
strategies to lessen its effects.
4.3 Have any incidents been recorded?
Answer
Three store room theft incidents were noted, involving three different stores.

 No, the incidents have been recorded.


4.4 Have you (or other stakeholders) received or provided feedback?
Answer
Even while several managers believe that the risk management plan's overall
results are acceptable, the CEO has expressed worries that this risk was not
sufficiently controlled.
5 Evaluate your risk management process or project.
5.1 Are your identified risks still relevant?
Answer

All dangers are relevant, yes.

Have your risk treatments been successful?


Answer
To maximize the risk managing process, we still need additional time and
innovative ideas even when risk treatments have demonstrated their
effectiveness.
5.2 Are there any new risks?
Answer
Due to the simplicity of COVID-19, there is a risk of fluctuating borrowing rates.
5.3 How satisfied are stakeholders with your action taken to manage risks?
Answer
Though the CEO thinks the overall input is satisfactory, we could still do better and
provide better outcomes.

5.5 Is any other risk treatment necessary?

Increase wages and salary expenses, Imbalance between cash in- hand and cash in
financial statement and Mismatch invoices risk are the three categories of risks that
have been identified. Wage increases cause inflation because the cost of producing
goods and services goes up as companies pay their employees more. To make up for
the increase in cost, companies must charge more for their goods and services to
maintain the same level of profitability. Conduct training on promoting an inclusive
workplace, consider unconscious bias training and Build diversity and inclusion into
your culture. Review your leave policies
Errors in financial statements can cause people to lose faith in the company and its
employees. Even if the company's accounting department quickly corrects flawed
statements, the realization that such errors are possible may still result in people losing
faith in the company. To reduce financial reporting risk, organisations should start from
the top, with the CFO taking ownership of the effort and assembling a cross-functional
team of accounting, information technology, human resources, as well as operational
resources to work together and understand where every department stands
Inaccurate reports can lead you to make bad decisions or make your company look
less valuable than it is. They can also land you in legal hot water. Adoption of adequate
internal controls, accurate data entry, reconciliation of internal and external records
