Imagine you are an Information Technology Manager employed by a business that needs you to develop a plan for an effective Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. In the past, ERM has not been a priority for the organization. Failed corporate security audits, data breaches, and recent news stories have convinced the Board of Directors that they must address these weaknesses. As a result, the CEO has tasked you to create a brief overview of ERM and provide recommendations for establishing an effective ERM program that will be used as a basis to address this area moving forward.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Summarize the COSO Risk Management Framework and COSO's ERM process.
Recommend to management the approach that they need to take to implement an effective ERM program. Include the issues and organizational impact they might encounter if they do not implement an effective ERM program.
