Enterprise Risk Management

Enterprise risk management (ERM) is the process of identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks that could potentially impact an organization. It is a proactive approach to managing risk that allows organizations to make informed decisions about how to mitigate or eliminate risks that could have a negative impact on the organization.

ERM involves the entire organization and is not just limited to financial risks. It encompasses all types of risks, including strategic, operational, financial, and compliance risks. The goal of ERM is to help an organization achieve its objectives by identifying and managing potential risks before they occur. Effective ERM requires ongoing monitoring and review to ensure that risks are being effectively managed and to identify any new risks that may arise. It is a continuous process that requires collaboration and buy-in from all levels of the organization. By implementing an ERM program, organizations can make more informed decisions, increase resiliency, and protect against potential losses.
