Enterprise Risk Management

• ERM involves enterprise-level risk appetites
• ERM helps determine tolerances for each risk
category
• ERM includes risk identification, assessment,
management, monitoring and reporting
Enterprise Risk Management
• ERM evaluates options for addressing the risks
• ERM does not anticipate elimination of risk – but
focuses on risk management and controls
• ERM can help determine capital resources needed
• ERM should be integrated into all enterprise
decision-making
