Governance: Enterprise Risk Management (Definitions)

"A model for IT governance that is risk-based integrating internal control, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandates, and strategic planning." (Linda Volonino & Efraim Turban, "Information Technology for Management" 8th Ed, 2011)

"Process of continuously identifying, assessing, mitigating, and monitoring relevant business risks in a comprehensive and integrated way." (Leslie G Eldenburg & Susan K Wolcott, "Cost Management" 2nd Ed, 2011)

"The process of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the activities of an organization in order to minimize the effects of risk on its capital and earnings. ERM includes not only risks associated with accidental losses, but also financial, strategic, operational, and other risks." (DAMA International, "The DAMA Dictionary of Data Management", 2011)

"The application of risk management approaches across an organization in a structured and disciplined manner." (Sally-Anne Pitt, "Internal Audit Quality", 2014)

"The governing process for managing risks and opportunities." (Weiss, "Auditing IT Infrastructures for Compliance" 2nd Ed., 2015)

"Enterprise risk management is a framework for risk management, including organization and governance, internal controls, key processes, systems and information and risk culture. ERM begins by identifying events or circumstances relevant to the organization's objectives (risks and opportunities), assessing them in terms of likelihood and magnitude of impact, determining a response strategy and monitoring progress." (Thomas C Wilson, "Value and Capital Management", 2015)
