1. Purpose
The purpose of this Risk Management Policy is to establish a framework for identifying, assessing, and managing risks that could affect the operations and financial stability of Maltix Ltd. By implementing effective risk management practices, the company can minimize the impact of potential risks and uncertainties on its business activities.
2. Scope
This Policy applies to all employees, contractors, and stakeholders of Maltix Ltd who are involved in decision-making processes that may impact the company's risk exposure. It covers all areas of the business, including but not limited to financial, operational, legal, regulatory, and reputational risks.
3. Risk Identification
Risk identification is the first step in the risk management process. All employees are encouraged to report any potential risks or uncertainties that could impact the company's operations or financial stability. Risks can be identified through regular risk assessments, internal audits, external reviews, and feedback from stakeholders.
4. Risk Assessment
Once risks have been identified, they must be assessed in terms of their likelihood and potential impact on the company. Risks should be categorised based on their severity and prioritized according to their level of significance. A risk assessment matrix can be used to determine the level of risk associated with each identified risk.
5. Risk Mitigation
After the risks have been assessed, appropriate risk mitigation strategies should be developed to minimize or eliminate the potential impact of the identified risks. This may involve implementing control measures, transferring risks through insurance, avoiding certain activities or investments, or accepting certain risks that are within the company's risk tolerance level.
6. Monitoring and Review
Risk management is an ongoing process that requires regular monitoring and review. The effectiveness of risk mitigation strategies should be evaluated periodically to ensure that they are still relevant and effective in addressing the company's risk exposure. Any changes in the business environment or external factors should be taken into consideration when reviewing the company's risk management practices.
7. Communication and Reporting
Effective communication is essential in ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of the company's risk management practices and procedures. Regular reporting on risk assessments, mitigation strategies, and any significant changes in the company's risk profile should be provided to senior management, the board of directors, and other relevant stakeholders.
8. Compliance and Governance
All risk management activities should be conducted in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards. The board of directors and senior management are responsible for overseeing the company's risk management practices and ensuring that they are aligned with the company's strategic objectives and risk appetite.
9. Training and Awareness
All employees should receive training on risk management principles and practices to ensure that they understand their roles and responsibilities in identifying and mitigating risks within their areas of expertise. Awareness programs should be conducted regularly to promote a culture of risk awareness and accountability throughout the organization.
