Article Abstract:
A survey conducted in 2005 reveals that protecting against risks via enterprise risk management (ERM) program could lead to competitive advantages that include making better-informed decisions, having greater management consensus, and increased profitability. It is important to reassess a company's risk annually as external and internal variables are constantly changing and a company needs to conduct exercise at least once a year both at operations and strategic areas involving as many staff to test its reaction to possible risk scenarios.
