The Risk Assessment and Management Policy serves as a foundational document for organizations operating in Nigeria, establishing systematic approaches to managing various types of risks in accordance with local regulatory requirements. This document becomes essential when organizations need to demonstrate compliance with Nigerian regulations, particularly CAMA 2020 and the Nigerian Code of Corporate Governance 2018, while also implementing effective risk management practices. It provides detailed procedures for risk identification, assessment, treatment, and monitoring, incorporating both Nigerian regulatory requirements and international risk management standards. The policy is particularly crucial for regulated industries and public companies but is adaptable for any organization seeking to establish robust risk management practices in the Nigerian business environment.
