Welcome to the Final Project for Spring $2024!$ In this project, you will work on real companies' $10-$K

reports. You have the flexibility to select one of the provided $4$ companies$10-$K reports or choose

another public company$$s annual report, subject to instructor approval. Your task is to apply the Risk

Management Process to the selected company$$s current condition. The objective is to master the Risk

Management $($RM$)$ process and enhance your skills to visualize your study results.

Project Steps:

Step $1$: Risk Identification

$$ Make sure to cover all $4$ quadrants in the risk identification process.

$$ Develop a risk register following the Planet Pop Corn case demonstration in class.

$$ Use your best adjustment to assess the relative likelihood and impact of each risk identified. Just

like what we demonstrated in class on Planet Pop Corn case, relative scale of impact means the

size of the impact in relation to financial capacity of the firm to pay for the loss. $($E$.$g$.,$ how does

the size of the impact of a particular risk relate to Sales or Earnings or Assets.$)$ This one is tricky.

So$,$ feel free to bring questions to the class. $($You can narrow this one down to $3$ risks $2$ Hazards,

$1$ non$-$hazard.$)$

$$ Utilize a risk map$/$matrix to prioritize identified risks. Focus on the top $3$ risks that you consider

to be the most urgent to be dealt with.

Step $2$: Risk Analysis$/$Modeling Practice

$$ Model the identified top one or two risks using various risk analysis techniques discussed in

class, such as discrete distribution, event tree analysis, normal distribution, VaR, EaR, etc.

$$ This step is where you can delve into the firm$$s current condition to tell a story.

Note: Focus on the 'proof of concept' rather than precise real$-$world numbers. Simplifying situations

or numbers is allowed.

Step $3$: Risk Treatment Recommendations

$$ Develop a risk treatment plan for the selected company.

$$ Base your treatment plan on the analysis results from Step $2.$ Inconsistencies with reality are

acceptable as long as they are supported by Step $2$ analysis and the overall narrative is coherent.

Step $4$: PowerPoint Presentation hand$-$in

$$ Prepare a $15-$minute PowerPoint presentation.

$$ Submit the presentation slides as part of the evaluation.

Grading Rubric:

Your project will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

$10$ points $-$ Risk Identification: Relevance and thoroughness of identified risks.

$15$ points $-$ Risk Analysis$/$Modeling: Proper application of various risk analysis techniques and

understanding of their implications.

$5$ points $-$ Risk Treatment Recommendations: Appropriateness and coherence of the proposed

treatment plan based on the analysis.

$10$ points $$ PowerPoint Presentation: Clarity, organization, insightfulness.

Conclusion:

This project is an opportunity for you to delve into real$-$world risk management, enhancing your practical

skills. Remember, the key is to apply the RM process effectively and communicate your findings

coherently.

Best of luck with your project! If you have any questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to

reach out to your instructor.
