Explaining Systematic and Unsystematic Risks in Risk Planning

As the chief risk officer for my company, I would take a two-pronged approach in explaining how systematic and unsystematic risks affect risk planning (Financial Times Guide to Risk, 2019).

In explaining the impact of these two types of risks on risk planning, it is important to emphasize the importance of proactive risk management in mitigating the potential negative impacts of both types of risks (KPMG, 2019). By proactively identifying and analyzing potential risks, companies can develop strategies to mitigate or transfer the risks, such as purchasing insurance or implementing risk control measures (Ernst & Young, 2020).

Three examples of unsystematic risks that my company might face include product recalls, lawsuits, and operational disruptions (KPMG, 2019). Cont…
