What is Acceptance Risk?

The major goal of risk management is to identify and analyze risks and devise means to combat the risk. A risk can be accepted, transferred, avoided, minimized, and retained. Acceptance risk is an organizational risk that is identified, and the organization sees no need to spend money and time reducing the risk because its impact is bearable. 

 Aside from using acceptance risk as a form of risk management, there are other approaches. Below are other strategies that can be used for risk management;
