| ''Risk management.''
| | The amount of risk which an organisation plans to retain, following all planned steps to reduce the risk retained by the organisation. |

| 1.
| |
|
| |
| Strictly, risk appetite means the amount and types of risk that an organisation is willing to accept in pursuit of value, improved financial performance or of other benefits, with management responsible for setting boundaries or parameters for risk taking.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| :'''''Risk tolerance''''' represents the amount of risk that the firm can actually bear.
| |
| :'''''Risk appetite''''' is the amount of risk that is actually desired. This might be seen in relation to the return sought by investors. Reward is normally only gained by taking risks, so limiting risk will limit reward.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Risk appetite will be within or equal to the maximum risk tolerance.
| |
|
| |
| Any risk responses should be designed such that the 'net' (residual) risk after considering controls does not exceed these boundaries.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| 'Conservative' strategies are those in which only the lowest levels of risk are acceptable.
| |
|
| |
| More 'aggressive' approaches to risk mean that higher levels of risk may be acceptable, if they are appropriately rewarded.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The risk appetite will be determined within the maximum risk capacity, in order to achieve the strategic objectives and business plan.

|
| |
| The term 'risk appetite' is also sometimes used more loosely, interchangeably with risk ''attitude'', risk ''capacity'' or risk ''tolerance''.
