Question 95

According to the International Professional Practices Framework, risk is:

I. Defined as the negative effect of events that are expected to occur.

II. Measured in terms of consequences.

III. Measured in terms of likelihood.

    Correct Answer: C

    Risk is typically measured in terms of both consequences and likelihood, which are covered by points II and III. The definition of risk is not limited to negative effects but to the variance from expected results, which can be positive or negative, thus making point I incorrect. Therefore, the best answer is moments related to II and III.

There is a cost/opportunity relationship. There is no business without risk appetite (there is no such thing as zero risk), because the outcome can be positive.
