Enterprise Risk Management Practice

Enterprise Risk Management involves strategic level decision making. The types of risks managed at this level impact the agency goals and objectives, can often be aligned with the strategic plan and can involve multiple levels within the agency. A key component of Enterprise Risk Management is communicating the objectives and directives of leadership clearly to the right people at the right time up and down the organization.
