Creating an Action Plan
Actions are processes or activities put in place to mitigate the risk to an acceptable level to the business. Each action has an owner who is responsible for carrying out the action by the date specified within the action detail record.
Multiple actions can be raised against a risk and these can be open or closed as required. It is not necessary to complete one action before another can be raised.
