The system of risk management in the state bodies of Kazakhstan and many
other countries is becoming particularly relevant and scientifically problematic, since the
implementation of tasks set in national projects and development plans is often carried out
under conditions of uncertainty and a diversity of factors, which can make it difficult to accurately identify and quantify risks for management decision-making.
Based on scientific approaches to risk management in the public sector, this paper attempts
to investigate the state of readiness of civil servants in Kazakhstan to implement risk management and determine the range of basic competencies of employees and the level of organizational culture, as differences in the culture and structure of organizations can affect the successful
implementation of risk management at the level of public administration.
