Enterprise Risk ManagementBeyond Theory: Practitioner Perspectives on ERM

This is not the typical Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) guide. Often, when financial executives read guides about ERM, those reports are in the form of a best-practices list under headings such as Oversight, Governance and Structure, and include checklists for factors such as Risk Identification and Assessment. This guide focuses instead on the experiences of five companies and their ERM programs (see Case Studies on page 14). Based on extensive interviews with corporate risk practitioners and experts and including quantitative data, this practitioners guide presents detailed examples of the ways in which companies have approached ERM and how their efforts provide valuable insight into leading ERM practices.
