Enterprise Risk Management, ERM, involves the study of the processes employed in identifying and assessing the risks and opportunities companies face, developing and implementing a plan to address those risks and opportunities, and monitoring progress implementing the plan. ERM is used 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. One major benefit of ERM is that it provides an enhanced perspective and focus on risk management across the institution. The course will provide the opportunity to identify and discuss the issues and challenges in total risk management and will explore techniques for balancing enterprise risk and reward to optimize an organization's performance.
