Internal Auditing Around the World: Volume 7

Enterprise risk management (ERM) guidance is more critical than ever for business success today. Amid perceived risk management failures in the wake of the recent global financial crisis and its lingering consequences, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and growing technology risks, boards are mandating that ERM be a high priority in their organizations.

One major benefit of effective ERM is being able to reassure both internal and external stakeholders that critical risk management concerns are being addressed. In this booklet, we profile companies that are taking steps to integrate ERM into processes for formulating and executing audit plans. These companies are truly international in the scope and size of their operations to reveal common practices that these organizations employ to make ERM a strategic imperative.
