According to IIA guidance, heat maps are tools used in risk assessment that visually represent the severity of risks by plotting them on a matrix based on their likelihood and impact. Heat maps are flexible and can be adjusted to prioritize either likelihood or impact depending on the specific context and the organization’s risk appetite and tolerance. This recognition that the priority of impact and likelihood can vary allows for a more nuanced and tailored risk assessment approach.

IIA Standard 2120: Risk Management

The chief audit executive should give the most consideration to the organization's risk management policy when communicating an identified unacceptable risk to management. The risk management policy outlines the organization's approach to managing risk, including risk tolerance levels, risk appetite, and the procedures for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks. By aligning the communication with the risk management policy, the CAE ensures that the discussion about unacceptable risk is framed within the context of the organization's established risk management framework, facilitating a more structured and effective response from management.
