We have had several enquires recently from local government organisations, for whom we have undertaken a range of assignments over many years. Our activities have covered most aspects of risk management, including enterprise risk management (ERM) and qualitative and quantitative risk assessments.

Uncertain quantities can be correlated by a dependence on a common source of variation. Modelling these correlations in quantitative risk analysis must be done with great care. Ignoring correlation in quantitative models can generate outcomes that are wrong, sometimes significantly so, and that have the potential to mislead the users of those models. This tutorial note examines correlation, and practical methods of incorporating it in quantitative risk analysis models.
