  1. Y  Yes/fully, (Y)  Partially, N  No Note that the frameworks in this table are those in Table 1, with the addition of the ISO risk management framework 31000, to show how systemic risk management compares to standard risk management. ASRA denotes the Accelerator for Systemic Risk Assessment, the systemic risk assessment working group of which designed the framework discussed in this paper.
