Enterprise risk management (ERM) can help your board of directors and administrators understand key risks to your institution — and develop sustainable processes to manage and mitigate them. CLA’s higher education professionals can help you design and implement a customized ERM program that precisely fits the scope and complexity of your organization.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to ERM. We’ll work closely with you to build a specific risk profile, assess your current risk management processes against best practices, and strategically craft an ERM program from the ground up, tailored specifically to your institutional needs.
