Risk Management: Overview

The Risk Management functionality in Amp Impact has two key components:

It is related to assessing and managing risks at the program or grant/portfolio level for international NGOs or Funders respectively;
It is related to implementation and execution-focused risks; that is, risks that may impede achieving impact in a given program, grant or portfolio

This consists of Identifying and Defining Risks, creating Mitigation Strategies for those risks, collecting risks in Risk Registers based on their categories, and conducting periodic Risk Assessments for Identified Risks.

Risk Management: Data Model

Below is the Risk Management data model subset:

Risk Management: Summary of Key Relationships

There are six key relationships that are foundational to the overall use of Amp Impact:

Risk: This relationship enables organizations to view details of any unforeseen events that may have a negative effect on a project or activity.
Risk Register: This relationship enables organizations to view risks in groups.
Risk Assessment: This relationship enables organizations to evaluate and/or measure risks in a periodic manner.
Risk Action: This relationship enables organizations to keep details of actions to respond to or alleviate risks.
Risk Relationship: This relationship enables organizations to relate risks to each other.
Risk Cause: This relationship enables organizations to document the details and causes of risks.

Here is a summary of these relationships:

Amp Object Label	Amp Object API name	Abbreviation	Object Description	Sample Use	Also Sometimes Called	Key relationships (Amp object's relationship in parentheses)
Risk	ampi__Risk__c	None	A Risk can be an issue that may disrupt a project or activity, or an incident/issue that has already occurred. The Risk record holds details such as the category, level, and mitigation strategy for the risk. A Risk can be related to a specific Activity or to a Risk Register (collection of risks) that is associated to a Project.

Risk Register	ampi__Risk_Register__c	None	A Risk Register record serves to group Risks (child records) together. Risk Registers can be related to a specific Project or to a different object through a custom lookup.	Education for All has separate risk registers for its Tanzania Project and Kenya Project and an operational risk register for the whole organization.		Risk (parent) Project (child in lookup)
