The Treadway Commission’s Committee of Sponsoring Organizations defines ERM as a process that flows through an organization, affected by individual members at every level. By identifying potential threats and managing risk within the organization’s risk appetite, it can also provide reasonable assurance to that organization’s management and/or board of directors.
