RACI on a risk
A risk Characteristics property page includes a RACI section to define the different persons responsible for risk management.
RACI is the acronym of Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed.Responsibility levels
The proposed responsibility levels are as follows:
Responsibility | Explanation |
|---|---|
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 Risk Mapper enables specification of the responsibility level of the various persons:
• on a risk,
• on a control.
Specifying Responsibilities
With HOPEX Risk Mapper, persons are represented by (system persons).
A person (System) represents a person in the enterprise. This person can be assigned a login and a role (or a profile depending on the connection mode). The login provides access to the HOPEX Application. The role (or the profile) defines the access to product functions and repositories. A system person, if assigned a login, has a specific desktop in each database, and can connect to this desktop from any workstation in a given environment.To specify the persons responsible for a specific object:
1. In the risk Characteristics property page, expand the RACI section..
2. Connect the persons (system) 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.
