3. Marking Guide

The assignment is marked out of 100. The following table shows the mark allocation and the approach required.

Assignment Part Mark Approach

 Aims of organisation 5

A summary of the current aims of the organisation. Remember that a risk is an event that has an impact on achievement of aims (positive or negative).

 Define the acceptable risk threshold, and use it to prioritise risk actions.

Define likelihood and impact scales used to calculate risk scores. Use a probability and impact Matrix to identify the unacceptable risk score

 Identified threats and/or opportunities

Identify and analyse a clear set of Threats and Opportunities. Your findings should include research material that provides support for risk assessment, eg: how severe could it be and how likely is it? Use financial or numerical data where available and appropriate eg: levels of fines for similar events, did it happen recently?

 Existing controls 10 What controls are already in place to manage the identified risks.

 Calculation of risk and risk threshold

5 Application of the above knowledge to provide an assessment of the severity and likelihood for each risk.

 Mitigation actions 25

Application of knowledge from across your modules to provide consultancy advice about how the organisation could reduce a threat or enhance an opportunity.

 Conclusion 10 A concise summary of key points.

 Structure and presentation

1 mark for index 2 marks for sections and headings 2 marks for bibliography 3 marks for use of Harvard Referencing 2 marks for professional presentation
