  3. Background to the study

  4. A perfect storm • ERM has been a topic of discussion and analysis since the mid 1990s – but economic turmoil has thrown risk management into sharper focus • Regulatory developments – for example, the introduction of SEC Rule 33-9089 – are acting as a powerful catalyst for ERM adoption • Management teams and Boards are under increasing pressure from regulators, investors and the media to demonstrate the effectiveness of risk management efforts – both in protecting shareholder interests AND in adding value • By 2009, FERF had identified a gap in knowledge among FEI members – most of whom knew that they should do something about ERM, but weren’t sure exactly what to do

  5. Focus on practical implementation • FERF and BMR agreed that an executive report was needed to help FEI members address the ’operationalization’ of ERM • A steering group was formed, comprising Peggy Yocher of United Technologies; Joan Netzel of SunTrust Banks; and Prof Paul Walker of the University of Virginia, as well as BMR and FERF representatives • Rather than review theoretical frameworks, it was agreed that the study should canvass ERM Managers to find out how ERM is actually being implemented on the ground and to identify trends, patterns and future directions that may be of value to FEI members • It was also agreed that the principal focus should be upon ERM in non-financial companies

  6. Participants in the study • Companies interviewed for the study have aggregate revenues in excess of $1.2 trillion and are generally global in scope • They were predominantly Fortune 500 organisations or similar, on the basis that these companies are most likely to have well-developed ERM programs • Personnel interviewed were typically either: • ERM Directors • Treasurers • Strategy Directors • Controllers • In addition to these face-to-face interviews, we also carried out detailed reviews of approximately 15 more ERM programs

  10. Two types of ERM program • ERM programs can be classified according to the categories of risk that are deemed to be in scope; and the overall approach that is adopted to risk management: • In general, programs tend to fall into one or other of two program types: • Type One: programs that take a mainly strategic view of risk, and manage it in a qualitative way; and • Type two: programs that take a more financial / operational view, and tend to manage risks through quantitative control • The view of risk might be said to be either “Enterprise Level” (Type One) or “Enterprise Wide” (Type Two) Type One Strategic Type of risks that a given program is mainly designed to address Type Two Operational Quantitative Qualitative Predominantapproach that a given company takes to management of risk

  11. Move toward more integrated, holistic approaches • Most organizations are making efforts to take a more holistic, integrated view of ERM • To do this an organization needs to ask: • How can strategic risks be analyzed on a quantitative level? • How can financial / operational data be interpreted in a qualitative way? • The benefits of successfully adopting a more integrated view are that a virtuous circle would be created, strengthening the links between business strategy and operational planning

  12. Key findings1. Current state of ERM implementation2. Two types of ERM program3. Organization of ERM programs4. Operationalization of ERM

  13. Organization of ERM functions (1)

  14. Organization of ERM functions (2)

  15. Key findings1. Current state of ERM implementation2. Two types of ERM program3. Organization of ERM programs4. Operationalization of ERM

  16. Operationalization of ERM functions • Most ERM programs are operationalized around five broad activities: • Gathering ‘risk intelligence’ • Cross-functional risk discussion • Risk scoring and prioritization • Risk response • Reporting • Although the activity areas do not necessarily happen sequentially, most programs reviewed for the study operate with a natural ‘cadence’ that resembles a cyclical process • For companies starting out on the ERM journey, gathering of risk intelligence is the most obvious place to start

  20. Open questions

  21. Questions that require deeper exploration

  22. Next steps

  23. Engaging the FEI membership • As has been seen, the study leaves a number of questions open for discussion • We also hope that it will provoke debate around this critical issue, which in itself will prove valuable and interesting to FEI members • We are exploring options for further engagement with FEI membership to take forward the conversation we have started with this study. Ideas may include: • Regional round table discussions in key ‘hub’ cities • Webinars • Discussions / presentations at CFRI or other FEI conferences

  24. About BMR
