ICI Risk Management App

Overview

The Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) platform introduces the Risk Management Application to make it easier for professionals to carry out their tasks related to risk management such as assessment, due diligence, remediation, monitoring and reassessment. Risk management is the process of identifying potential risk, assessing the magnitude of risk based on the business objectives, devising strategies to eliminate them and tracking the performance until they are completely mitigated.

The platform’s modern, scalable and integration-friendly cloud architecture can model even the most complex risk management scenarios. The App provides secure access such that only authorized users can access the App entities and data, using ICI’s access control functionalities. The user-friendly interface makes it possible for anyone in the enterprise having access to be able to use the platform with ease. 

Icertis uses a standard framework of discovery, assessment, remediation, monitoring and optimization to manage enterprise risk.

ICI Risk Management supports the following risk management business scenarios:  

• Business Operations Risk: For example, the impact of pandemic on the business operations of an organization. 
• Contractual Risk: For example, managing risks that arise from non-standard agreement terms, clauses, and so on. 
• Counter-Party Risk: For example, managing risks relevant to suppliers and vendors.

The Terminology

Here are some terms that will help you better understand the risk management process:

• Risk Assessment:  It deals with the process of identifying and evaluating the magnitude of potential risk areas.
• Risk Area: It is the exposure that an organization has from internal or external factor(s) that impact the normal
  functioning of business and will lower its bottom line (or profits) or lead it to fail. For example, cyber security
  risk.
  • Risk Taxonomy: It is comprehensive set of risk categories and sub-categories used in an
    organization. It outlines as approach to categorize and aggregate all types of risks that could affect
    the organization's objectives.
  • Assessment: Risk owner determines or assesses whether identified risk area is valid or not.
    Likewise, risk owner can add a risk area manually.
  • Due Diligence: It is a complete review of the risk area. As part of incomplete or missing
    information, tasks may be created to gather information.
  • Remediation: It is a strategy created to mitigate risks. For example, Avoid strategy, Transfer
    Strategy, Reduce Strategy, etc. Based on the remediation strategy, mitigation tasks are initiated.
    • Control Effectiveness Rating: It represents the effectiveness of risk remediation actions
      taken to mitigate risk. 
• Monitor and Optimize: Monitoring involves the process of tracking the progress of residual risk level and risk
  score of a risk area as against the remediation tasks made for mitigation. If the residual risk score and risk
  level does not change as compared to the inherent score, then optimization allows taking additional due
  diligence or remediation tasks to mitigate risk.
• Risk Score Matrix:  It is a matrix that uses a combination of likelihood and consequence rating to determine
  magnitude of risk. 
  • Inherent Risk: It is a risk indicator. It is the starting score for each identified risk area and is
    expected to be controlled.
  • Residual Risk: It is a risk indicator. It is the score that depicts the risk remaining once mitigation
    actions have been planned and implemented.
  • Likelihood Rating: On a risk matrix, it represents the likelihood (level of probability) of risk
    occurrence.
  • Consequence Rating: On a risk matrix, it represents the magnitude (level of impact) of risk
    occurrence.
  • Risk Level:  It is the qualitative score for every risk area transaction.
  • Risk Score: It is the quantitative score for every risk area transaction.

The Challenge

Business risk can emerge from any division of a company and must be managed proactively to avoid devastating
impacts. Often, these risks originate in the contracts of an organization with an external party or because of the
business and regulatory environment in which the entity operates.
Yet, most organizations manage contractual, regulatory, financial reporting and environmental obligations
manually. Automated extraction and monitoring of obligations are prevalent in very few companies across various
industry verticals. Consequently, organizations do not have adequate visibility into the status of these obligations
and end up being reactive in identifying and handling risks.

This raises the following challenges: 

• Companies cannot proactively assess and manage their risks in business environment characterized by
  unpredictability, volatility and mounting counter-party solvency risks.
• Traditional Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) and Risk Management tools are not able to roll-up
  enterprise-wide risk insights from across contracts which are the ultimate source of commercial truth, and
  hence are only good at reporting and analyzing risks in hindsight. 
• Lack of visibility and insight into obligations, typically spelled out in detail in service contracts, can lead to
  substantial risks for businesses if not surfaced at the appropriate time and monitored at an adequate level to
  provide required executive attention.

The Solution

Built on the Icertis Contract Intelligence platform, the ICI Risk Management App brings a paradigm shift in
the management of business risks. The App offers a process-oriented enterprise-wide solution to stay on top
of all potential risks that a business faces – whether they emanate from the potential insolvency of a
counter-party, payment default by a customer, supply disruption due to a pandemic or natural disaster,
logistics blockades due to localized conflicts, or other market turbulence.

With the Risk Management App, companies can: 

• Perform risk discovery, assessment, remediation, monitoring and optimization in any business context that is
  relevant to a specific organization. For example, supplier risk assessment at the time of onboarding a supplier,
  customer credit risk check while signing long-term contracts on non-cash terms, contractual performance risk
  while evaluating technical capabilities of a service provider, etc. 
• Prevent and reduce risk-injection as opposed to only managing risks.

The Capabilities

The intelligent and easy-to-use ICI Risk Management App offers these powerful capabilities:

• Ability to embed risk assessment in various business processes:
  • For example, during negotiation, supplier/ customer onboarding, third party contract ingestion, etc.
• Flexible and configurable risk assessment frameworks:
  • To cater to various industry and business-specific risk management requirements.
• Questionnaire-based risk identification:
  • Questionnaire configuration capability to discover all vendor or business operation risks based on
    responses.
• Risk area and scoring model configurability:
  • A configurable risk area to gauge contract, counter-party and operations risk at various levels of
    business granularity.
  • An easy-to-configure platform that helps to set up a quantitative and qualitative risk score model to
    meet business needs.
• Alerts and notifications: 
  • In-built notifications to inform risk owner about changes in risk area status.
• Auditing: 
  • Audit trails of every action with user and time-stamp details.

The Benefits 

• The ICI Risk Management App changes the risk management paradigm from identification and mitigation to
  preventing risk injection and remediation.
• Effective risk monitoring reduces the impact of operational, financial and reputational risk, contributing
  significantly to the company’s bottom line.
• Configurable system can conform to any risk model in the world and even develop industry and companyspecific risk models with no custom code required, thereby greatly reducing deployment costs.

Configuration setup overview

ICI offers the ability to determine the application type (Contracting, Sourcing, Obligation Management and Risk Management application) when creating a contract type. This is possible with the inclusion of two new choice type attributes, Business Application Type and Business Application Category at the contract type level. This feature helps effortlessly drive business applications on ICI platform.
These attributes are enabled through technical configuration and  applicable for agreements and associated document contract types. The access privileges for business applications (such as Risk Management) are managed through security groups. 

Seeded Configuration and setup

The ICI Risk Management application provides  some seeded  entities, attributes, workflows, rules and notifications that are necessary for the flow of the risk management. Some of the entities are:

• Masterdata: 
  • Risk Taxonomy
  • Risk Remediation
  • Risk Area Master
  • Likelihood Rating
  • Risk Score Matrix
• Contract types:
  • Risk Assessment: as agreement contract type with Business Application Type as Risk Management and Business Application Category as Risk Assessment defined at contract type level.Risk Area as associated document contract type with business application type as risk management and business application category as risk area defined at contract type level.
  • Risk Area: as associated document contract type with Business Application Type as Risk Management and Business Application Category as Risk Area defined at contract type level.
• Rules:
  • Instantiate the risk areas after completing the risk assessment
  • Copy attribute values from risk assessment to the risk area
  • Add Team members to the risk area
• Notifications for events:
  • Risk area is created
  • Risk area due diligence is initiated
  • Risk area remediation is initiated

Working with Risk Assessment

The ICI Risk Management application enables users to manage risks by creating risk assessment. Risk Assessment deals with the process of identifying and evaluating the magnitude of potential risk areas. For example, buyers can use the ICI Risk Management application  that allows configuring a questionnaire to perform supplier risk assessment. The risk areas can be identified based on the responses received for the questionnaire as the outcome of the risk assessment process.
Risk assessment workflow performed by risk assessment owners typically involves the following:

• Initiating Risk Assessment: The risk assessment owners can initiate the risk assessment workflow to identify the risks. For example, the risk assessment can be a questionnaire where the users respond to the questions by submitting it. This initiates the risk assessment in "Draft" state.
• Approving Risk Assessment: Based on the complexity of risk assessment, ICI administrators can configure the rules to add approvers to the assessment team. If there are approvers added to the team, the risk assessment is sent to the approvers for approval. The risk assessment is approved automatically if no approvers are added to the team.
• Completing Risk Assessment: The status of the risk assessment changes to "Assessment Complete" when the risk assessment is approved. The risk area can be identified and auto-instantiated based on the configured rules.

• Devising strategies to mitigate risks
• Tracking the performance until risks are completely mitigated

The risk area can be generated automatically by seeded rules based on the risk assessment responses. Users can also add the risk area manually to the risk assessment.

 

Creating Risk Area automatically using rules

The ICI Risk Management application provides set of rules to generate Risk Areas automatically based on the responses gathered from the risk assessment. Refer the "ICI Risk Management Configuration Guide" for details on rules used in the ICI Risk Management application.

The workflow for generating risk areas automatically includes process as follows:

1. A recommended rule "Identify Risk Areas" can be configured by the app implementation team on the event "Risk Assessment Created" to identify applicable risk areas, based on the specific attribute values from the Risk Assessment record.

For the attribute "Risk Assessment Description", if the response is "Sup" (representing supplier), then the Applicable Risk Area is identified and set as "Sanctions".

 

2. Once the "Risk Areas" are identified, the seeded rule "Auto instantiate applicable risk area" generates those identified risk areas.

3. Another seeded rule "Copy Attribute Values" then copies values specified in the rule from Risk Assessment record to the Risk Areas.

For example, when the "Risk_Assessment_Jan2022" is approved, the risk area is automatically created as "Sanctions".
