Risk Prevention and Management
  
Private Org Public Agency  
Introduction
  
COA's Risk Prevention and Management standards go beyond protecting against threats. An agency's risk prevention and management practices are seen, more positively, as an opportunity to strengthen the agency. Leadership sets a proactive tone by creating a culture that identifies risk and learns from challenges.

Note: Please see Self-Paced_Training: Risk Prevention and Management (RPM) in the Tools Index for additional assistance with this standard.
 
PURPOSE: Comprehensive, systematic, and effective risk prevention and management practices reduce the agency's risk, loss, and liability exposure.
