Agency Budget Risk Management
Risk Management was introduced into the budget process for the first time with the 2003-05 budget cycle as a recommendation of the Risk Management Task Force.
This Task Force was convened in 2000 by Governor Gary Locke and Attorney General Christine Gregoire to renew efforts to better protect the public, mitigate loss and damages related to state services, and recommend ways to improve the state's risk management program. The Risk Management Task Force released its findings in a report issued October 9, 2001. It focused on recommendations intended to improve loss prevention - mitigating risks when services are delivered, in an attempt to avoid human loss and suffering in the first place.
Recommendation 1.1 - Risk Management Task Force
Final report to the Governor and Attorney General
Provide policy level visibility within the budget process to each agency's loss funding requirements and loss prevention efforts. This will provide greater accountability and incentive for effective loss prevention.
On December 7, 2001, Governor Gary Locke issued Executive Order 01-05 Risk Management, which directed agencies to adopt risk management best practices.
