− | | + | |
− | The Icertis (ICM) platform introduces the Risk Management application to make it easier for professionals to carry out their tasks related to Risk Management such as assessment, due diligence, remediation, monitoring and reassessment. Risk Management is the process of identifying the potential risk, assessing the magnitude of the risk based on business objectives and devising strategies to mitigate them and tracking the performance until they are completely mitigated. <br/> It enables secure communication with different parties involved in the process of Risk Management that is more effective than the traditional ways of communication such as email. Its user-friendly interface makes it possible for anyone in the enterprise, from the risk management personnel to the supply analytics team, to be able to use the platform with ease. <br/> ICM Risk Management consists of:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | *Risk assessment (with survey)
| + | |
− | *Auto instantiation of risk area
| + | |
− | *Configurable contract types risk assessment and risk area with its workflow based on risk management process
| + | |
− | *Masterdata that captures risk library, risk taxonomy and risk score matrix to effectively govern the risk management process

− | ICM Risk Management application is based on the ICM platform that supports the following business scenarios:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | *Contractual Risk Management
| + | |
− | *Counter Party Risk Management (for example managing risks relevant to suppliers or vendors)

− | The user must have:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | *Completed ICM Product Training
| + | |
− | *Risk Management App must be enabled on customer environment

− | | + | |
− | ICM offers the ability to determine the application type (Contracting, Sourcing, Obligation Management and Risk Management application) when creating a contract type. This is possible with the inclusion of two new choice type attributes, Business Application Type and Business Application Category at the contract type level. This feature helps effortlessly drive business applications on ICM platform.<br/> These attributes are enabled through technical configuration and applicable for agreements and associated document contract types. The access privileges for business applications (such as Risk Management) are managed through security groups. <br/> screen2

− | The Risk Management Application provides some seeded entities that are necessary for the flow of the Risk Management. Some of the entities are:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | *Masterdata:
| + | |
− | **Risk Taxonomy
| + | |
− | **Risk Remediation
| + | |
− | **Risk Area Master

− | **Likelihood Rating
| + | |
− | **Likelihood & Consequence Rating
| + | |
− | **Risk Score Matrix
| + | |
− | *Contract types:
| + | |
− | **Risk Assessment as agreement contract type with business application type as risk management and business application category as risk assessment defined at contract type level
| + | |
− | **Risk Area as associated document contract type with business application type as risk management and business application category as risk area defined at contract type level
| + | |
− | *Rules:
| + | |
− | **Instantiate the risk areas after completing the risk assessment
| + | |
− | **Copy attribute values from risk assessment to the risk area
| + | |
− | **Add risk area owner to the team
| + | |
− | **Add Approver

− | == Setting up masterdata values ==
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Risk Management Application provides some seeded masterdata that are necessary for the flow of the Risk Management. Users can create masterdata instances with desired values.<br/> To create masterdata instance:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | #Click Configuration > Masterdata > Create Masterdata on the Home page. The Create Masterdata page opens.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Screen 3
| + | |
− | <ol start="2">
| + | |
− | <li>Select the Masterdata Contract Type. For example, Risk Area Master.</li>
| + | |

− | Screen 4
| + | |
− | <ol start="3">
| + | |
− | <li>Click Next. The Attributes page opens.</li>
| + | |
− | <li>Enter or select the details in the fields.</li>
| + | |
− | <li>Click Save. The masterdata instance is created.</li>
| + | |
− | </ol>
| + | |

− | == Working with Risk Assessment ==
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The Icertis Risk Management app enables users to manage risks by creating risk assessment. Risk Assessment deals with the process of identifying and evaluating the magnitude of potential risk areas. For example, buyers can use the ICM Risk Management application that allows configuring a questionnaire to perform supplier risk assessment. The risk areas can be identified based on the responses received for the questionnaire as the outcome of the risk assessment process.<br/> Risk assessment workflow performed by risk assessment owners typically involves the following:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | *Initiating Risk Assessment: The risk assessment owners can instantiate the risk assessment workflow to identify the risks. For example, the risk assessment can be a questionnaire where the users respond to the questions by submitting the risk assessment. This initiates the risk assessment in Draft state.
| + | |
− | *Risk Assessment approval: Based on the complexity of risk assessment, ICM administrators can configure the rules to add approvers to the assessment team. If there are approvers added to the assessment team, the risk assessment is sent to the approvers for approval. The risk assessment is approved automatically if no approvers are added to the assessment team.
| + | |
− | *Risk Assessment Complete: The status of the risk assessment changes to Assessment Complete when the risk assessment is approved. The risk area can be identified and auto instantiated based on the configured rules.
| + | |
