Welcome to the Risk Accounting Standards Board
Accounting for the future
Financial accounts tell you what a company already lost. Risk Accounting measures the operational and non-financial risk it is carrying right now, in a single, consistent, auditable unit.
Risk Accounting provides a method-defined framework for representing current inherent and residual operational-risk exposure in a common unit, combining business activity with assessed mitigation effectiveness.
RASB is examining the reproducibility, longitudinal consistency and potential analytical value of this approach through controlled research.
