Assessment of the activity risk-management system at federal universities of the Russian Federation
Abstract. The article investigates the risk management system of federal universities of the Russian Federation, focused on assessing the risks of educational, research and international activities. The relevance of this topic is based on the need for effective risk detection mechanisms in the organization`s activities. The study is aimed at testing the performance of a system of indicators that allows assessing the risks of universities. To improve the quality of the audit, federal universities are divided into clusters in accordance with the number of full-time students and the number of teaching staff. The purpose of the article is to study the risk management system of federal universities of the Russian Federation with an emphasis on assessing the risks of educational, research and international activities. As part of the study, data on the activities of ten federal universities over ten years was analyzed, after which the universities were clustered based on the number of students and teaching staff. The subsequent economic and mathematical analysis of the selected risk indicators was effective, which made it possible to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of the risk management system at universities in various educational, research and international areas of activity. The results of the study are conclusions about the effectiveness of the risk management system for educational, research and international activities at federal universities of the Russian Federation in accordance with the formed clustering. The authors draw conclusions about the need to develop and improve the risk management system in federal universities of the Russian Federation for effective control and minimization of risks in educational, research and international fields of activity. It establishes recommendations forfurther improvement of the risk management system, which may include a more detailed study of risk events, as well as adaptation of risk management methods to the specifics of university activities.
