Enterprise Risk Management

Enterprise Risk Management provides learners with an introduction to the discipline of risk management from the perspective of an organization rather than from the viewpoint of a person. In this course, learners will learn risk management concepts, including risk tolerance, risk appetite, and how to utilize governance and compliance resources to achieve an effective risk management strategy. Throughout this course, learners will determine various strategies to identify, assess, monitor, and control risks and other threats to an organization. Topics include approaches to risk mitigation, generally accepted frameworks and standards adopted to manage risk, current environmental, societal, and governance matters of risk interest to an organization, disaster recovery plans, and insurance products.
