Does the company articulate its risk appetite and define risk tolerances for use in managing the business?

The risk appetite dialogue helps to bring balance to the conversation around which risks the enterprise should take, which risks it should avoid and the parameters within which it should operate going forward. The risk appetite statement is decomposed into risk tolerances to address the question, “How much variability are we willing to accept as we pursue a given business objective?” For example, separate risk tolerances may be expressed differently for objectives relating to earnings variability, interest rate exposure, and the acquisition, development and retention of people.

It should but the business and project perspectives may differ slightly. PMs may need to prompt companies to formally document a risk policy that ncludes appetite and tolerances risk. See my Discussion contributions for an example of a Risk Policy for Commuter Railroad Company.
