A Proposed Risk. Management Regulatory. Framework. A report to NRC Chairman Gregory B. Jaczko from the Risk Management Task Force. Commissioner ...At the request of Chairman Gregory B. Jaczko, a task force headed by Commissioner George Apostolakis prepared this report. The task force’s charter was to develop a strategic vision and options for adopting a more comprehensive, holistic, risk-informed, performancebased regulatory approach for reactors, materials, waste, fuel cycle, and transportation that would continue to ensure the safe and secure use of nuclear material. The proposed risk management regulatory framework builds upon well established practices, such as the NRC’s defense-in-depth philosophy and its policies to incorporate risk-informed and performancebased approaches into the agency’s regulation and oversight of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials. Risk management is being adopted by many different organizations, including Federal agencies, and would seem to be the logical next step in the evolution of the NRC’s regulatory programs.

Twenty years ago, the job of the corporate risk manager—typically, a low-level position in the corporate treasury—involved mainly the purchase of insurance. At the same time, treasurers were responsible for the hedging of interest rate and foreign exchange exposures. Over the last ten years, however, corporate risk management has expanded well beyond insurance and the hedging of financial exposures to include a variety of other kinds of risk—notably operational risk, reputational risk, and, most recently, strategic risk. What’s more, at a large and growing number of companies, the risk management function is directed by a senior executive with the title of chief risk officer (CRO) and overseen by a board of directors charged with monitoring risk measures and setting limits for these measures.

Several of these reports have recommended that the federal government use risk management as an important element in developing a national strategy. Individual federal agencies have efforts underway, but the results to date have been inconclusive. In September 1999, we recommended that the Department of Justice, specifically the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), conduct threat and other assessments at the national level as part of a risk management approach that could be useful nationwide. In April 1998, we asked Congress to consider requiring that the domestic preparedness program use a risk management approach with state and local governments in preparing state and local governments for terrorist attacks involving weapons of mass destruction. The Department of Justice is working with state and local governments to complete risk management tools for the domestic preparedness program.

Creating a Culture of Risk Management. Financial Service organizations must initiate a top-down transformation to spread risk management visibility and ...After the rash of corporate and accounting scandals leading up to the SarbanesOxley Act in 2002, a “Culture of Compliance” emerged to foster ethical behavior and decision-making. The culture of compliance goes beyond having good policies and procedures, a dedicated compliance staff, sufficient compliance resources or electronic exception reports. It articulates a sense of responsibility for compliance at every level of the organization. In the risk-averse environment following the latest financial crisis, we believe there is a strong case for replicating this successful paradigm shift to create an enterprisewide risk management culture. In a risk management culture, accountability for risk permeates the enterprise from the boardroom to the front line—instilling employees with the tools to identify, manage and mitigate risk. In a poorly controlled organization without an institutionalized culture, employees will tend to do the wrong thing even in the face of good policies. In a wellcontrolled organization with an institutionalized culture, employees will do the right thing even in the face of unclear policies....
