When an organization decides to accept a risk because the cost of
avoiding the risk outweighs the potential loss of the risk. A decision
to accept a risk can be extremely difficult and controversial when
dealing with safety-critical systems because making that deter-
acceptance
mination involves forming personal judgments about the value of
human life, assessing potential liability in case of an accident,
evaluating the potential impact on the surrounding natural envi-
ronment, and estimating the system's costs and benefits.

The estimated loss from a potential risk event over the course of
a year. The following equation is used to calculate the annual loss
expectancy: ARO × SLE = ALE. Where ARO is the annualized

will occur over the course of a year and SLE is the single loss
expectancy, the estimated loss that would be incurred if the event
happens.
