WEBINAR DETAILS
Embarking on your first Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program — or looking to refine an existing one — can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. This webinar will break ERM down into clear, actionable components. Attendees will gain a solid understanding of fundamentals, the building blocks of a complete program, and how to integrate risk management into your strategic plan. Key topics include building an effective ERM committee charter, selecting the right committee members, understanding top risk categories, and developing essential tools such as an ERM risk assessment and a risk management appetite and tolerance statement.
Participants will also explore the three ongoing phases of a successful ERM program: identifying and assessing risk, mitigating and eliminating risk, and monitoring and reporting risk. You will walk away with a clear visualization of the ERM process, practical strategies to enhance existing programs, and a deeper understanding of the benefits a well‑established ERM framework brings to the institution.
