• Click to read the case study 'Tesco: risk in the round' by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.
• The document from which the case study was taken can be read in full by clicking on the icon to the left.
• Once you have read the case studies answer the following questions:
  • What is Tesco’s approach to Risk Management?
  • How do they approach risk interdependencies?
  • How has the change from the bankers RBS to Tesco Personal Finance affected risk management
  • How does Tesco’s governance fit in with risk management?
  • It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
