Conclusively, risk control can reduce unexpected & costly surprises, enables the creation of a more risk focused culture for the organization and that enables improved focus and perspective on risk.It is recommended that risk assessments should not be one-sided since such analyses are colored significantly by factors such as the personal preferences, knowledge, recent experiences, and character traits of those involved. It was also recommended that senior management should emphasize that their risk management objectives, are aimed at creating and preserving value for key stakeholders. This is because these stakeholders are essential to the companies continued existence
