Because of the possibility of adverse results or situations of the enterprise should distinguish risk and uncertainty, because the risk is probability category destabilizing factor. This uncertainty is characterized by the probability of making the results or events cannot be set. It should be noted that the difference between risk and uncertainty is the fact that it relates to a method of information and determined by the presence (provided) or no risk (if uncertain) stochastic characteristics of uncontrolled variables. If it is possible to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the degree of probability of a phenomenon, event, process, then we can say that there is a risk.
