Risk management is an essential element of the structure of corporate man-agement. It is used to solve multifaceted and complex tasks that largely determine the development and success of an organization. The dynamics of the surrounding envi-ronment requires the establishment of an adequate mechanism to facilitate the process of risk management in business organizations. In this light, an attempt was made to create a methodology to facilitate the process of organizational risk management. Stud¬ying the theoretical formulations of this issue and the practice of Bulgarian firms has led to the conclusion that it is possible to move towards a standardization method for risk management and that this process needs to be integrated in companies as part of their overall management system.
