FERMA has adopted the Risk Management Standard, published in the United Kingdom in 2002. Versions in several languages of this pan-European standard of best practice in risk management are available for risk managers.

The Risk Management Standard is the work of three UK risk management bodies in the UK, the private and public sector risk management associations, AIRMIC and ALARM, and the Institute of Risk Management (IRM), the profession's educational body.

The Risk Management Standard sets out a strategic process, starting with an organisation's overall objectives and aspirations, through to the identification, evaluation and mitigation of risk, and finally the transfer of some of that risk to an insurer.
