Enterprise Risk Management

Introduction

Enterprise risk management is the identification, prioritisation and treatment of the risks which may hinder an organisation or company from meeting its business objectives. Large engineering firms, as well as high-risk industries including mining, oil and gas will generally have a central enterprise risk management framework to which all other forms of risk management – including project risk management  and risk engineering – should align.

Elements of enterprise risk management frameworks

Typical elements of an enterprise risk management framework include:

• Corporate governance
• Strategic risk management
• Financial risk management
• Operational risk management
• Auditing and corporate assurance
• Insurance

These elements are usually overseen by a group or chief risk officer.
