The Valuation Implications Of Enterprise Risk Management

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a series of processes used to identify risk, implement strategies to address risk, and monitor impact on the organization. Indeed, an effective ERM will consist of a corporate profile, which is a record of key risks that would hinder the organization in achieving their key objectives (Fraser & Simkins, 2010). Ideally, the risk profile is created as a tool to communicate with the Board of Directors, but may be used as a means of communication with all levels of management (Bethel, 2016). Typically, there are variations of the risk profile based upon the level of management, such as duration, types of risk, and purpose (Fraser & Simkins, 2010).

Enterprise risk management is a technique used by organizations to manage risks that have the potential to affect the company, both positively and negatively, altering

Risk refers to a likelihood, probability, a chance that a loss may occur in a given organization. Most of the times, there is a high risk when there is vulnerability. In this case, vulnerability refers to a weakness that the organization has. Risk assessment refers to the process of identification of potential hazards and proper analysis of the expected losses if those hazards occur (Homeland Security, n.d.). Risk assessment as a way of profiling risk according to impact to the organization. Some organizations have business impact analysis exercises geared towards determination of potential hazards based risk assessment approaches. Organizations’ risk differ depending on the size and the type of business they are doing. The disparity in organizations’ risk call for different adaptation of risk assessment approaches. Even with the disparities of the businesses, proper risk management not only ranks the risks according to the seriousness but also identifies the best methods to control risks in an organization.

According to COSO "support from the board of directors and senior management is need to get the right focus, resources and attention for ERM" The entire corporation from top to bottom must view risk management as a critical and strategic step towards prosperity. And even though it is not the job of the directors to implement or be a part of risk management activities, they demonstrate clear support for ERM measures. It is up to top management to ensure that the resources are available, the focus is clear and the tone is positive and motivating.

For Riordan to adopt COSO Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) practices in a new initiative, they are more likely to have a successful implementation if they have the full support of the board and chief executives. The ERM plan should not only be compatible with existing organizational goals, it must also be integrated into the culture so that risk management can become salient at all levels of the organization. Even though risk management should be spread throughout the culture, the aims of the program should be concise and focus on a small number of the top risks. Two of these risks that should definitely be among the top of the list are compliance and legal liability that might arise from the company's operations. This report will outline some of the key concepts that should be embodied in the new COSO strategy at Riordan.

For any company, risk management is an important strategy to have in place. There are a number of factors that need to be reviewed in order to decrease the risk of failure. A presence of a Risk management program would not only set the framework into place to save time, money, and rework but also increases the chance of success for that particular company.

Despite the decline in the use of quantitative risk analysis, it is still important to note that risks still exists and risk management has a valuable function to companies. The question that should pose company officials is, “how can a company make its risk management function become more effectual and

The Non-Linear Pro salesman told the manager of Quick Takes Video that the editing system leased would allow the employees to edit material twice as fast after only a day and a half of set up and training. After all employees received the one-day training course, completed the video tutorial, and read the manual, problems with the equipment stopped production of a Quick Takes Video project. During an attempt to insert a CD, an employee cut her finger on a sharp edge of the poorly designed equipment.

Oliva (2016) proposed a model for assessing the maturity level of corporations with respect to ERM based on data analysis. Many researchers have utilised model to access ERM. They provided a theoretical model to access the maturity level of ERM based on survey and data collected. (Eckles, Hoyt and Miller, 2014) Therefore, building models based on data is the common methodology of application of ERM. Accordingly, Executive Board members of M&S combined information to provide a consolidated view by diagram 3 - Risk likelihood and impact. On the other hand, Eckles, Hoyt and Miller (2014) argued that ERM was still in the early stage of development due to the existing data coming from case studies and survey compared with the study of corporate risk management.

This paper discusses how a company can successfully implement the Enterprise Risk Management based on COSO guidelines. This paper discusses a step by step process of the implementation plan at Dell Inc, the responsibilities of the workforce and management, the risk mitigation approach and how to monitor the activities successfully.

Enterprise risk management is a process, effected by an entity’s board of directors, management and other personnel, applied in strategy setting and across the enterprise, designed to identify potential events that may affect the entity, and manage risk to be within its risk appetite, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of entity objectives. (COSO, 2004) This definition, provided by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), captures key concepts fundamental to how companies and other organizations manage risk, providing a basis for

This essay would start by defining risk management capability and how risk maturity model can be used to assess and enhanced an organisation risk management capability. Then it will go on and discuss the importance of enterprise risk management and discuss the role of chief executive risk officer.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is the ability to identify, manage and/or mitigate risks that can affect the overall business operations down to the day to day operations of an organization (Hampton, J., 2009). The overall Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) entails the utilization of a holistic model to identify risks that face an organization. ERM is not successful when it is managed in silos. Doing so could lead to the organization not having a clear understanding of risks and a misunderstanding of their risk appetite. There are many important components involved in the overall ERM process. Therefore, ERM can be implemented through creating a risk –aware culture, the implementation of the Risk Focused Allocation Framework (RFRAF) and an operations review which creates and implements a risk strategy for an organization.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is process of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the activities of an organization in order to minimize the effect of risk on an organizations capital and earnings.
