Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a structured, organisation-wide approach to identifying, analysing, managing, and monitoring risks that could impact the achievement of business objectives. It helps organisations build resilience, protect value, and make informed decisions by integrating risk management into strategy, operations, and performance.

.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a shared responsibility across the organisation. The board and senior management provide oversight and set the risk direction, while managers, risk officers, risk champions, and operational teams are responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing risks within their areas. Effective ERM requires coordination from leadership through to all business functions.

The main purpose of ERM is to help organisations anticipate and manage risks that could affect their ability to achieve strategic and operational objectives. By applying recognised ERM frameworks, organisations can strengthen resilience, improve decision-making, protect reputation, and ensure long-term business continuity and performance.

An effective Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework includes strong governance and leadership, integration with strategy and performance, structured risk identification and assessment processes, communication and reporting mechanisms, and continuous monitoring and improvement. These elements ensure risk management supports decision-making and organisational value.
