Enterprise Risk Management introduces you to the concepts and techniques that allow you to identify risks and prioritize the appropriate responses. This invaluable guide offers a broad overview, covering key issues while focusing on the principles that drive effective decision making and determine business success. This comprehensive resource also provides a thorough introduction to ERM as it relates to credit, market, and operational risk, as well as the evolving requirements of the board of directors’ role in overseeing ERM.  

Through the comprehensive chapters and leading research and best practices covered, this book:

From the Inside Flap

With the collapse of the subprime mortgage market in the United States in 2008, and the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the need for effective enterprise risk management (ERM) has become ever clearer. At the same time, ERM best practices, experience, standards, and regulations have rapidly evolved over the past decade.

In the newly revised Second Edition of Enterprise Risk Management, distinguished executives, academics, consultants, and authors, John R.S. Fraser, Rob Quail, and Betty Simkins, deliver in-depth insights into what enterprise risk managers are actually doing in the real world. You’ll discover how you can teach, learn, and immediately implement best practices from a range of world-leading authorities on the subject. A wealth of helpful and practical tables and charts will assist you as you move through the chapters and learn about the drivers of enterprise risks, how to mitigate them, and common pitfalls to avoid.

The book takes a holistic and wide-ranging approach to enterprise risk management, and the new edition covers topics including cybersecurity, foreign exchange risk management, outsourcing, scenario planning as a risk management tool, and more. Enterprise Risk Management introduces you to the concepts and techniques that will help you identify risks and prepare appropriate mitigation responses. From credit, market, foreign exchange, and operational risk to the evolving risks from cybersecurity and climate change, this book discusses key ideas that will be central to the practice of any enterprise risk professional.
