Implementation of risk management applies not only to companies but also to universities. However, the implementation of risk management to universities is still limited and still needs improvement. This limitation is due to the absence of special units in universities dealing with risk management issues. This article focuses on the implementation of risk management at Universitas Negeri Semarang by using descriptive analysis. The results show that Internal Control Unit on Unnes has run the IIA (2009) mandate related to its participation in the implementation of risk management system by sticking to independence and objectivity. Furthermore, the implementation of three line of defenses on Universitas Negeri Semarang has not been able to be implemented. This is due to the lack of resources in the field of risk management, as well as limited scope. Therefore, it is expected that the internal control unit able to always increase their role in developing, implementing and evaluating risk management system in universities.

Basically a natural partnership will achieve its goal if mutual requirements, mutual reinforcement, and mutual benefit can be maintained and made a strong fundamental commitment among partners. Nevertheless the development seems very slow. The cause is the presence of specific and different conditions and structure factors compared to other countries. Along with that, we still encounter various forms of gaps, such as inequality among regions, among income groups, between sectors, among economic actors, and so forth. The next problem is that in business entities including cooperatives and micro and small enterprises in running their business activities requires business partnerships with medium and large enterprises in order to improve business performance and business scale. While on the other hand our economic conditions and structures are not yet fully conducive to fostering partnerships based on purely business considerations or competitive market motivations but the business partnership of the foundation is strong enough in our country's constitution. Partnerships will work if partners are equally benefiting. Our concept of partnership is like that, although in the short term, there is a party or a party benefiting more from the other side.
