RACI Responsibilities
 
Responsibility levels
Specifying Responsibilities
HOPEX solutions enable definition of responsible users for some of the objects via the RACI matrix.
*RACI is the acronym of Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed.
Responsibility levels
The proposed responsibility levels are as follows:
 
Responsibility
Meaning
Responsible
Persons responsible for execution of required actions.
Accountable
Persons reporting on progress of planned actions and making decisions.
There is only one "Accountable" for each action.
Consulted
Persons consulted as first priority before an action or decision.
Informed
Must be informed after an action or decision.
HOPEX enables specification of the responsibility level of the various persons:
• on a business or organizational process,
• on a risk,
• on a control.
Specifying Responsibilities
One or various persons can take responsibility for a specific object.
To specify the persons concerned by a specific object:
3. In the object properties page, expand the RACI section.
4. Connect the persons or person assignments in each of the following tabs:
• Responsible
• Accountable
• Consulted
• Informed.
*In some solutions, RACI information can be redundant with roles defined in the object property dialog box or can supplement them.
For example, in HOPEX Enterprise Risk Management, the process responsible user can be specified directly in the Responsible field of the process property dialog box and not in the RACI section. In this case, it is important to specify one responsible user only.
