Integrating with Strategy and Performance

Managing risk doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s a process that should be practiced each day, through systems and processes that seamlessly integrate into your organization. Enterprise Risk Managetment (ERM) is a framework that covers all aspects of risk management, from meeting regulations, to employee safety, data security, even avoiding fraudulent financial reporting.

The ERM Integrated Framework was established by COSO to provide a structured approach to managing risk across the board. The five key components include corporate governance, strategy, performance, review/revision, and communication/reporting. Integrating the COSO ERM Framework simplifies the process of managing risk.
