1In enterprise risk management (ERM), what does 'analyzing the business context' primarily involve?
A.Purchasing insurance policies for all identified hazards
B.Eliminating all sources of uncertainty from operations
C.Understanding the organization's internal and external environment, objectives, and stakeholders before assessing risk
D.Calculating the company's quarterly net profit margin
Explanation: Analyzing the business context means understanding the internal and external environment, strategic objectives, and stakeholder needs so risk management can be aligned to what matters to the organization. ISO 31000:2018 places 'establishing the context' (scope, context, and criteria) at the start of the risk management process.
2Which two international frameworks are most commonly referenced as the foundation for enterprise risk management programs?
A.GAAP and IFRS
B.COSO ERM (2017) and ISO 31000:2018
C.ITIL 4 and COBIT 2019
D.Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing
Explanation: COSO ERM (2017) 'Integrating with Strategy and Performance' and ISO 31000:2018 'Risk Management — Guidelines' are the two dominant ERM frameworks. The RIMS Risk Maturity Model is designed to be compatible with programs built on either standard.
3According to ISO 31000:2018, how many principles guide effective risk management?
A.Three
B.Twelve
C.Twenty
D.Eight
Explanation: ISO 31000:2018 is built on eight principles, with the creation and protection of value as the central purpose. These principles inform the framework and process elements of the standard.
4What is the central purpose of risk management according to ISO 31000:2018?
A.The complete avoidance of all losses
B.The creation and protection of value
C.Maximizing insurance recoveries
D.Achieving zero audit findings
Explanation: ISO 31000:2018 states that the purpose of risk management is the creation and protection of value, contributing to the achievement of objectives and improvement of performance. All other principles support this central aim.
5A PESTLE analysis is used in the business-context stage to examine which set of external factors?
A.Profit, Equity, Sales, Taxes, Liabilities, and Earnings
B.Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental
C.People, Equipment, Systems, Time, Logistics, and Energy
D.Planning, Execution, Strategy, Tactics, Leadership, and Evaluation
Explanation: PESTLE stands for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental factors. It is a structured tool for scanning the external macro-environment when establishing the business context for risk.
6Which COSO ERM (2017) component addresses the organization's values, ethics, and the board's risk oversight?
A.Information, Communication, and Reporting
B.Performance
C.Governance and Culture
D.Review and Revision
Explanation: In COSO ERM 2017, 'Governance and Culture' sets the organization's tone, establishing oversight responsibilities and reinforcing the desired values, ethics, and behaviors. It is the first of the five components.
7How many components make up the COSO ERM (2017) framework?
A.Eight
B.Five
C.Three
D.Seventeen
Explanation: COSO ERM 2017 has five interrelated components: Governance and Culture; Strategy and Objective-Setting; Performance; Review and Revision; and Information, Communication, and Reporting. These contain 20 supporting principles.
8What is the key distinction between a 'risk' and an 'issue' in risk management?
A.A risk is always financial; an issue is always operational
B.A risk affects only management; an issue affects only staff
C.A risk is a potential future event with uncertainty; an issue is a problem that has already occurred
D.There is no meaningful difference between them
Explanation: A risk is an uncertain future event that may or may not happen and has a probability associated with it. An issue is a condition or event that has already materialized and requires resolution rather than probabilistic assessment.
9In ERM, what does 'risk' encompass beyond potential harm?
A.Only insurable hazards
B.Only financial losses recorded on the balance sheet
C.Only regulatory non-compliance penalties
D.Both downside threats and upside opportunities arising from uncertainty
Explanation: Modern ERM, reflected in ISO 31000's definition of risk as 'the effect of uncertainty on objectives,' recognizes that uncertainty can produce both negative (threat) and positive (opportunity) effects. Treating opportunity as part of risk is a hallmark of enterprise-wide thinking.
10A risk manager maps the expectations of regulators, investors, employees, and customers when establishing context. This activity is best described as:
A.Monte Carlo simulation
B.Loss-run reconciliation
C.Stakeholder analysis
D.Capital adequacy testing
Explanation: Identifying and understanding the interests, influence, and expectations of internal and external parties is stakeholder analysis. It is a core part of establishing context because stakeholder needs shape risk criteria and objectives.
