Topic Background

Enterprise Risk Management has been around since the 1980’s but it has now become more prominent in the credit union industry due to increased global risks. Credit unions that have an ERM program established are better positioned to grow successfully. The ERM program based on best practices ensures credit unions have a strong foundation and solid infrastructure which helps them foresee and prepare for future risks while achieving their organization’s vision.

Risk assessments are at the core of the ERM program. Credit Unions need to conduct risk assessments in multiple areas. In this session, Marcia focuses on three key risk assessments.
