Brief on Risk Controlling

Risk prevention and risk management are the life lines for enterprise¡¯s survival and development. As we all know, any enterprise, no matter how much wealth or modern techniques it owns, how developed it has grown, has no chance to avoid punishment in case of ignoring risk controlling and management. Then how to carry out the controlling and management of risk? Let¡¯s talk about the risk management and controlling in the aspects of system, regulation and human.

¡¡

Aspect of System

1. The Complement of Corporation Administration, Decrease of Decision Risk

As in risk cases, the risk caused by decision mistakes is much more serious than general operation risks. So the establishment of decision operation system and supervisor system is the precondition of risk management and controlling for an enterprise. To meet the requirement of modern enterprise system, a complete corporation administration structure, relational balance and reciprocal constraint in the boards of stockholders, directors and supervisors are extremely necessary.

2. Complete Decision System and Supervision System

There must be a completed decision system and supervision system in the operation team. See from the development of an enterprise, the most important decision is settling of the business developing direction. So the business direction settling of an enterprise is the first level of risk controlling. It is also the basement of the higher levels of risk controlling.

¡¡

Aspect of Regulation

An enterprise shall have complete risk management regulations. The items of the regulations shall be altered and completed within the growth of the business, especially in the following aspects.

1. Authorization Rules for Affiliations

The bad assets or business loss of the enterprise are always caused by the violation or excess operation of the affiliations. No matter how bad the enterprise has acted, all the corresponding obligations are taken by the parent company as long as the first grade corporation system keeps in action. So the authorization operation rules shall be adopted to define the operation rules and obligations of the affiliations and then to control the risks efficiently. Meanwhile, executives such as general managers and financial managers shall be appointed from the HR organization, which is responsible to the whole group company and independent from the affiliation which means the appointment salary and bonus of the executives have noting to do with the affiliation.

2. Complement of Inner Controlling Regulations

Finance management, operation procedure rules and business bid regulations of the company shall be completed step by step. The complement of supervisor regulations such as financial supervisor, audit supervisor, is also keystones of all the regulations.

3. Inspection and Practice are Keys of Risk Controlling Management

The build up of regulations does not mean the prevention of risk has achieved. An unpracticed excellent regulation was just a piece of blank paper. Many cases have indicated that every risk is involved with violate knowledge, profiteering attitude under interest, lucky chance and conformity thoughts. Some enterprise with complete managing regulations still can not avoid risks, which was because the weak of practice. This shows that the practice of regulations is much more important than the establishment of regulations. The enterprise must enhance the practice and supervise of regulations.

¡¡

Aspect of Human

Chairman Mao once said that human is the factor determining everything in the world. This quote was suitable for kinds of industrials. Kinds of risk cased in business routines indicates that although there are various kinds of regulations and complicated techniques, there are still some violators who leaked over those regulations and controlling systems of risks and some of those violators themselves are constituter of the regulations. This explained an objective existence that the regulations are made by human and techniques are also created by human, but regulations and techniques are not living beings but human are. So the controlling of human beings is also important in the risk management.

1. Hiring

High and senior mangers of the enterprise shall have both ability and moral, which is the hiring standard of the enterprise. Both profession and moral risks objectively existed while the controlling and prevention of moral risks are much directly. Therefore, the executives of the enterprise shall hold the moral character, behavior codes and thoughts incline of the high and senior staffs.

2. Operator Inspirit System

The operator inspirit system is an indispensable factor in the structure of corporation management. Handling the interest dividing of the operators especially higher and senior managers (including carrying out of annual salary rules, operation stock rights and double division), not only can inspirit them devoting to the extend of company¡¯s benefit, descending the risks to the minimum, reducing the short-term behavior of the operators but also can control the inner actions of the enterprise.

Due to the information imbalance and system factors, the efforts and contributions of the operators has not connected with their payment. The connection is just in short term or long term. So the establishment of operation stock rights and double can mobilize the operators to avoid risk and create more interest, which can achieve the controlling of risk caused by human being.

Risk controlling and management of the enterprise was a comprehensive subject involving various factors. The controlling of the mentioned three massive factors is supplement for one another and was the headstream of risk controlling.

 Philosophy Story

Contribute  

An old carpenter, who intented to retire, told his boss that he was going to leave the construction business and live with his family happily ever after. The boss was not reluctant to let the good worker go and asked whether he could help to build another house. The old carpenter agreed. However everyone could see that the old man was no longer working his duty by heart. The material he used was inferior and the job he did was rough. After the building was build up, the boss handed him the key of the house.  

¡¡

¡°Here is the house,¡± the boss said,¡±my gift for you.¡±  

¡¡

The old carpenter was deeply shocked and shamed a lot. If he knew in advance that the house was built for himself, what would he have done? Now he had to live in the rough house!  So do we, carelessly running our own life, do not pay any effort at the very moment. Finally we realize the situation we are around and find that we have already been in the ¡°house¡±. Identify yourself as the old carpenter, think about the house you are building, every nail you strike in, every plate you added or the wall you build up, and construct the house by your heart seriously. Your life is the only creation in your own life, no chance of rebuilding. Even if it is just a single day, please write it with elegance and dignity and print it on the wall ¡°the life is my own creation.¡±
