1. ''Financial reporting''
Rewarded and unrewarded risk can be a useful way to analyse risks.  


Expenditure that is charged against profits in the current financial reporting period, rather than being capitalised.
It can indicate whether a particular risk is a legitimate risk for the organisation (and consistent with the organisation’s strategy) or not.


An example of a rewarded risk is a capital investment decision, such as acquiring a business or a new machine, launching a new product and so on.


2. ''Tax'' 
Such an investment will be made because there is a reasonable expectation of an acceptable net positive return, and hence an expectation of an increase in shareholder wealth.


Expenditure incurred in the course of trade that is treated as an allowable deduction in arriving at taxable profit.

Rewarded and unrewarded risk can be a useful way to analyse risks.

It can indicate whether a particular risk is a legitimate risk for the organisation (and consistent with the organisation’s strategy) or not.


An example of a rewarded risk is a capital investment decision, such as acquiring a business or a new machine, launching a new product and so on.

Such an investment will be made because there is a reasonable expectation of an acceptable net positive return, and hence an expectation of an increase in shareholder wealth.
