DOI’s Integrated Risk Management Framework, an existing integrated risk management framework, assesses risk throughout all programs and can be used for Open Government. The framework integrates the Department’s mission areas and outcome goals, Strategic Plan, and Business Model. The integrated risk management framework is designed to improve consistency and comparability of each bureau’s/office’s activities. The framework is intended to be flexible and scalable. Some of the anticipated benefits include: Leveraging existing reviews, inspections, evaluations, and investigations to receive formal acknowledgement of strong data spending internal control practices; Conveying knowledge and sharing best practices; Following a structured, disciplined approach and detailed guidance for conducting risk assessments; Gaining a comprehensive understanding of inherent risks in spending activities in place to address/mitigate these risks; and Leveraging existing capabilities, processes, and proven technology solution to meet needed risk assessment roles.
