Riassunto

Praise for COSO Enterprise Risk Management

"COSO ERM is a thoughtful introduction to the challenges of risk management at the enterprise level and contains a wealth of information on dealing with it through the use of the COSO framework. Detailed procedures covering a wide variety of situations are followed by a thorough explanation of how each is deployed. As a project management professional, I appreciate how the author addresses the need for risk management at a project level. His background as someone who 'practices what they preach' and realizes the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley auditing rules comes through clearly in the book, and it should be mandatory reading for anyone seeking to understand how to tackle their own ERM issues."
--Greg Gomel, PMP, CQM, CSQE, ITIL, Director, Project Management, Insight North America

"This volume clearly and comprehensively outlines the usefulness of COSO Enterprise Risk Management guidance. It should provide considerable benefit to those having governance responsibilities in this important area."
--Curtis Verschoor, L & Q Research Professor, School of Accountancy and MISDePaul University, Chicago

COSO Enterprise Risk Management

Understanding the New Integrated ERM Framework

When COSO ERM was first released, some professionals inadvertently viewed this new risk-based framework as simply an update of the COSO Internal Controls framework of ten years before.?Filled with valuable advice and guidance from an industry insider, COSO Enterprise Risk Management hails COSO ERM as the new way of looking at all aspects of risk in today's organization, equipping professionals to better understand the COSO ERM framework and make maximum use of this tool in evaluating the risks associated with all business decisions.

Using the COSO ERM framework's model and terminology, this timely book discusses the importance of understanding the various risks facing many aspects of business operations and helps professionals develop and follow an effective risk culture for many business and operating decisions. To this end, a hypothetical company, "Global Computer Products, Inc.," illustrates the practical application of COSO ERM within realistic corporate circumstances.

COSO Enterprise Risk Management thoroughly provides clear-cut guidance on relevant topics including:

COSO Enterprise Risk Management uniquely helps business professionals at all levels??from staff internal auditors to corporate board members??to understand risk management in general and make more effective use of the new COSO ERM risk management framework.
