What is Enterprise Risk Management?
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a more holistic approach to traditional risk management which identifies and organizes risks across all levels of the institution, allowing for more streamlined and efficient risk mitigation decisions. Risks identified in each department are captured in a risk register. Risks are managed and monitored by the department, with support from Risk Management. High frequency and/or severity risks are organized within risk categories to identify trends and opportunities for improvement and then reported to the Executive and the Board of Governors to ensure compliance with the University's risk tolerance.
