Enterprise Risk
Management (ERM)
Enterprise risk management (ERM) is a framework to
reduce earnings volatility through a robust risk
governance structure and strong risk culture,
supported by sound risk management capabilities. It
is the organization’s enterprise risk competence—
the ability to understand, control, and articulate the
nature and level of risks taken in pursuit of business
strategies—coupled with accountability for risks
taken and activities engaged in, which contributes to
increased confidence shown by stakeholders.
