Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is as an enterprise-wide, integrated (holistic) approach to corporate management. The aim is to increase corporate value by systematic risks responding and securing the company's goals against disruptive events. The essential distinction compared to traditional risk management approaches is the overcoming of the silo mentality in which individual risk categories are handled today. The book not only details the different requirements of ERM but also provides numerous checklists and best practice examples.
