Executive Risk Management Committee
The Executive Risk Management Committee (ERMC) is responsible for reviewing and assessing the potential risks being assumed by the University to confirm that they are in alignment with the institutional mission and objectives and for ensuring that necessary mitigation strategies are in place, resourced appropriately, and integrated with existing initiatives to enhance management and control. Supported by an organizational structure that formally assigns responsibility for identifying and mitigating risks to senior managers across the institution, the committee’s process focuses administrative attention and resources on significant issues. The risk management effort also informs the Office of Audit and Compliance’s University-wide audit and compliance work plan.
