Risk Management Policy

Al-Ihsan Foundation USA maintains a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and managing risks so we can deliver our mission safely, lawfully, and sustainably while protecting donors, beneficiaries, staff, and reputation.

Objectives

• Ensure risks are identified across operations, finance, fundraising, programs, partnerships, technology, and compliance.
• Prioritize mitigation actions based on likelihood and impact, including financial, legal, operational, safeguarding, and reputational risk.
• Support prudent stewardship of charitable assets and transparent governance.

Roles

The board provides oversight of principal risks. Management is responsible for day-to-day risk management, internal controls, and escalation of significant issues. All personnel are expected to report emerging risks and control weaknesses promptly.

Key controls

• Financial policies, delegation of authority, and review cycles.
• Partner and vendor due diligence commensurate with activity and jurisdiction.
• Safeguarding and integrity policies, including anti-bribery, child protection, and whistleblower reporting.
• Business continuity considerations for critical services.

Monitoring and review

Risk registers and mitigation plans are reviewed on a recurring schedule and when strategy, programs, or the external environment change materially. Lessons from incidents and audits inform updates to controls and training.
