According to cgma.org, “Enterprise risk management (ERM) is the process of identifying and methodically addressing the potential events that represent risks to achieving strategic objectives or opportunities to gain competitive advantage. Risk management is an essential element of any organisation's strategic management and should be embedded in the ongoing activities of the business. The fundamental elements of ERM are the assessment of significant risks and the implementation of suitable responses. With that said, why is ERM important for the business? This week’s episode explores this with David Hall, Managing Director,  DC Consultants and Associates.

Some of what we looked at were:

• The difference between risk management and enterprise risk management
• How do you implement enterprise risk management?
• Who is responsible for the enterprise risk management
• Benefits of ERP to businesses

And lots more.
