Better Practice Guide - Risk Management
Risk Management underpins an agency's approach to achieving its objectives. An important responsibility for any government body is the effective and efficient use of Commonwealth resources. This aim can be aided by sound risk management practices. To increase the likelihood of achieving desired outcomes, informed decision should be made based on evaluation of the associated risks.
