DISUSSION-1 RE: Chapter 15: Embedding ERM into Strategic Planning at the City of Edmonton COLLAPSE Top of Form The two strategic processes The two strategic processes which are tightly connected to ERM in the current scenario of Edmonton City ERM implementation are: Results based budgeting and Performance measurement. Results based budgeting (RBB): ERM helps organizations to allocate the resources based on the requirement for completing the tasks and to produce the desired output. The RBB assists to determine the funding allocation requirements which are mandatory to fulfill the strategic objectives of organization. This budget formulation is performed based on predefined objectives such as priority, resource availability and expected results etc. here the expected results represents the desired outputs which organization expects to meet its strategic goals. In simple words the Results- based budgeting is about emphasizing performance and accountability. Performance measurement: The continuous performance measurement helps organizations to drive the progress in risk mitigation and it provides insights where additional attention is required. The Key performance indicators (KPIs) can be used to measure the effectiveness of risk management activities. The Performance measurement in ERM sends the list of desired outcomes to RBB and receives list of prioritized programs and costs to ensure ERM works at its full potential (Fraser, J., Simkins, B. J., & Narvaez, K., 2015). Two criteria’s must be balanced in a successful ERM model The two criteria are model power and user-friendliness. The powerful model can provide large amount of information and

The user friendliness program helps to easily add information, add new features and easy to understand by the user with simple steps. The user friendliness also includes if needed some unnecessary steps could also be removed without losing model robustness (Fraser, J., Simkins, B. J., & Narvaez, K., 2015).

Key Risk Indicators: This can be defined as an important tool within risk management and are used to enhance the monitoring and mitigation of risks and facilitate risk reporting. KRIs are measures that enable risk managers to identify potential losses before they happen. The metrics act as indicators of changes in the risk profile of a firm. KRIs play an important role in risk management by predicting potential high-risk areas and enabling timely action. KRIs enable firms to:
- 6. · Identify current risk exposure and emerging risk trends. · Highlight control weaknesses and allow for the strengthening of poor controls. · Facilitate the risk reporting and escalation process. · Operational risk management adds value to the firm. Regulatory Expectations: The choice of each factor needs to be justified as a meaningful driver of risk and whenever possible, and the factors should be translatable into quantitative measures that lend themselves to verification. The sensitivity of a firm’s risk estimates to changes in the factors and the relative weighting of the various factors need to be well reasoned. Periodic tracking of KRIs (monthly, weekly, depends on what the KRI represents). KRIs should be reported regularly and escalation procedures should be in place (as part of the KRI framework) to ensure timely reporting to management and board. Reporting of KRIs to head of business units by KRI owners. Head of business units then reports into risk management. Risk management reports to risk board and when applicable, the full board. 2.How do Key performance indicators help companies to manage existing risks? KRIs and KPIs: KRIs are metrics which evaluate and measure the efficiency of an organization’s risk management program. By analyzing KRIs and KPIs in concert, and over an extended period, you will be able to show actual or probable deviations from a given standard or goal. An enterprise risk management program should identify gaps across the organization, it should also include processes and methodologies that quantify and measure the value of the ERM program. An incident or risk event in one area of the business will affect other areas within the business. If a risk or activity changes, organizations have no way of knowing if and how the change will impact their metrics. With a tolerance level, this gap analysis will also serve to identify emerging risks as they rise out of tolerance, indicating that current mitigation activities are no longer enough.

By tracking these metrics, organizations can more effectively mitigate existing risks and detect emerging risks long before they are able to have a detrimental impact on the organization. 3.If measuring performance is not a component of an ERM program, what is the effect on the overall quality of the program?
