Enterprise risk management consists of eight interrelated components. These are derived from the way management runs an enterprise and are integrated with the management process. These components are: Internal Environment: The internal environment encompasses the tone of an organization, and sets the basis for how risk is viewed and addressed by an entity's people, including 'risk management philosophy and risk appetite, integrity and ethical values, and the environment in which they operate. Objective Setting: Objectives must exist before management can identify potential events affecting their achievement. Enterprise risk management ensures that management has in place a process to set objectives and that the chosen objectives support and align with the entity's mission and are consistent with its risk appetite. Event Identification: Internal and external events affecting achievement of an entity's objectives must be identified, distinguishing between risks and opportunities. Opportunities are channeled back to management's strategy or objective-setting processes. Risk Assessment: Risks are analyzed, considering likelihood and impact, as a basis for determining how they should be managed. Risks are assessed on an inherent and a residual basis. Risk Response: Management selects risk responses-avoiding, accepting, reducing, or sharing risk - developing a set of actions to align risks with the entity's risk tolerances and risk appetite. Control Activities: Policies and procedures are established and implemented to help ensure the risk responses are effectively carried out. Information and Communication: Relevant information is identified, captured, and communicated in a form and timeframe that enable people to carry out their responsibilities. Effective communication also occurs in a broader sense, flowing down, across, and up the entity. Monitoring: The entirety of enterprise risk management is monitored and modifications made as necessary. Monitoring is accomplished through ongoing management activities, separate evaluations, or both. Enterprise risk management is not strictly a serial process, where one component affects only the next. It is a multidirectional, iterative process in which almost any component can and does influence another.
