Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is key in ensuring
that an organization matches its risk appetite to its business objectives
and to manage the risks within the business in order to minimize their
effects whilst maximizing earnings and the effective use of capital. With
the increase in regulation, it is also an invaluable tool to demonstrate
both to senior management and the regulators that the organization has
adequate controls and systems in place to manage those risks.
Once
of the key aspects of ERM is that it eschews where possible, the traditional
silo'd based approach and instead focuses on an integrated view of an
organization's risk. Depending on the industry, ERM may include Strategic,
Financial, Operational, Credit, Market and various industry specific risks,
