Risk Analysis

Key to the strategic function of public procurement professionals, risk analysis can help minimize—if not mitigate—the adverse effects of accidental or unanticipated losses through the process of analyzing the activities of the procurement function. Recognizing the different types of risk and risk levels, procurement professionals can use this skill to develop a risk management plan.
