NDIA’s assessment/s, inputs, submissions and ratings that support the “risk maturity level 4” (integrated) as rated by Comcover’s Risk Management Benchmarking Survey in March 2015
Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,
Please provide copies of all submissions, assessments, inputs and ratings that contributed to or formed the basis of the NDIA’s “risk maturity level 4” (integrated) as rated by Comcover’s Risk Management Benchmarking Survey in March 2015, cited in the NDIA Annual Report 2014-15 [1].
Context:
Under the topic or “managing risk” and key achievements in 2014-15, the NDIA stated that the Agency “achieved a maturity level rating of four (4)—‘integrated’—in the annual Comcover Risk Management Benchmarking Survey in March 2015. The result highlights the Agency’s high level of risk maturity in its risk management strategies and processes. This represents a significant improvement in the Agency’s risk management capability over the past 12 months” [2]. According to Comcover's Risk Management Capability Maturity Model [3], Level 4, Integrated (now Embedded) is:
Risk Governance:
• Centralised real-time risk information is readily available
• A consistent approach to communicating risk enables staff to understand how risk
management contributes to the achievement of goals and objectives
• Managers and supervisors actively monitor the risk profiles of their areas of responsibility and ensure staff adopt the risk management framework as developed and intended
• The entity communicates and engages with all required stakeholders (both internal and external) to enable effective risk management.
Risk Culture:
• Desired risk culture has been articulated in accordance with strategic objectives, risk appetite and tolerances
• The entity’s current risk culture is formally and regularly assessed against the desired risk culture, with recommendations identified for improvement
• Initiatives to uplift risk culture are in place and are monitored and reported on an ad hoc basis.
Risk Capability:
• There is demonstrated understanding of the need to build risk capability, focussing on priority areas for improvement, addressing underlying issues and utilising the skills of existing resources
• Internal and external information sources are used to inform risk assessment processes that consider both current and emerging risks
• Risk information is integrated with key operational systems.
Risk Management Framework and Practices:
• A comprehensive set of risk appetite and tolerance statements defined across strategic objectives include measures that enable effective monitoring and review
• Risk management is embedded in decision making for strategic planning and project and program risks, including business cases
• Agreed governance arrangements and desired risk culture levels allow for effective management of both current and emerging shared risks.
Organisational resilience and Agility:
• Formal mechanisms exist to build and maintain organisational resilience
• A regular and independent process has been established to assess control design and effectiveness over critical business processes
• Tools and techniques exist to identify, analyse and manage emerging risks beyond the current planning horizon
• Opportunities for improvement and good practice are identified through analysing risk information.
Thank you for your help with this request.
Yours faithfully,
Shirley
