The concept underlying enterprise risk management (ERM), namely a portfolio view of risk, has been around a long time, emerging in financial institutions and treasuries as they applied at-risk frameworks. Market developments over recent years have compelled most companies in other industry sectors to implement ERM in order to create new sources of value for their customers and markets or face losing ground to their rivals. Yet many executives and directors have no idea what the value proposition of ERM is, and do not know a practical approach for implementing it.

This comprehensive resource guide addresses over 160 questions relating to ERM fundamentals, the COSO framework, roles and responsibilities, the risk management oversight structure, getting started, building and enhancing risk management capabilities, defining a compelling business case, and many other topics.  It is designed to answer your questions without making you wade through material with which you are already familiar. It often refers to the COSO framework, which readers can obtain at www.coso.org, and it offers ideas, suggestions and insights to executives responsible for ERM implementation.
