Charge
The primary purpose of the Enterprise Risk Management Committee (ERM Committee) is to monitor the risk environment for the Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ and provide direction for the activities to mitigate, to an acceptable level, the risks that may adversely affect the University’s ability to achieve its strategic goals. The ERM Committee facilitates the continuous improvement of the University’s capabilities around managing its priority risks.
Specifically, the ERM Committee shall undertake, or delegate the responsibility to:
- Identify and prioritize risks: Understand the University’s current risk environment, including a review of emerging risks, the interrelationships between risks, and in the context of the University’s risk appetite and tolerance.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of risk mitigation activities: Review risk mitigating strategies for effectiveness and consistency with the University’s risk tolerance.
- Ensure that gaps in effectiveness are addressed for high-priority risks: Provide recommendations for the allocation of resources and assignment of responsibilities for activities addressing risks.
- Improve enterprise risk management infrastructure: Guide the ERM infrastructure, including systems, processes and organizational structure.
The ERM Committee shall not be responsible for any day-to-day tasks involved in risk management or the mitigation of any risks; however, individuals on the ERM Committee may have specific risk management tasks as part of their primary management role at the University.
The above list of activities should serve as a guide with the understanding that the ERM Committee may carry out additional functions and adopt additional policies and procedures as appropriate in light of changing business, legislative, regulatory, legal or other conditions.
