Abstract
The theme that is concerned was not studied in Lithuania. The definition "Risk" is very common in our days and can be detected in any ground. This term is known from Antic period and evolved until our days. If it has meaning of dangerous rock in the beginning, now it is used in different meanings, for example in civil, criminal, labour law, in economy, insurance sphere, even in public administration area.
Customs authority is governmental instrument, which have rights not only control foreign trade, flow of goods from other countries, but also rights for intelligence and violation investigation activity. More and more customs move from traditional duties to new tasks – fight with terrorism, combating crimes related to the trafficking of drugs, mass destruction weapons, safety of goods and society and etc.
This is a reason why customs is a pioneer in Lithuania when we speak about new methodology in public administration and relation with trade and business. It is agreed that customs has more experience and in risk management area.
Because risk management is each customs authority business, there exist a lot of understandings of it, like process itself and management of it, if we look to different countries we will find different interpretation. Only in few last years there were few tries to make unique understanding of this process and put all elements of it in one document. Such examples can be Risk management guide from World Customs Organisation and Mapping document of risk management from European Union Council.
Author tries to give unique understanding what is risk management in customs, what main steps are in this management cycle. He explains main definitions as risk identification, risk level, risk degree, risk indicators, risk assessment (management), and invites everyone to open active discussion on this topic.
Very briefly cycle of risk management process is represented in article too. It is shown that in practice not always officers implement all steps from this process and it determine some mistakes, such as not working feedback or missing of changes and renewals.
