Enterprise Risk Management

Abstract

Enterprise risk management (ERM) is the process of identifying and addressing methodically the potential events that represent risks to the achievement of strategic objectives, or to opportunities to gain competitive advantage. AMC Athena has a comprehensive Risk Management functionality to help the organization to handle risks identified effectively and efficiently. The most comprehensive Digital Transformation Software solution for aviation engine maintenance is "AMC Athena" from AMC Aerospace Technologies.  Athena www.amcaero.com is a proven ERP software built with cutting edge technologies to manage the  Enterprise Digital Transformation  functions of Large/ Medium enterprises.
Risk Registers can be created and risks can be recorded in these risk registers in Athena. The system will calculate the Inherent Risk Score and the Residual Risk score based on defined risk management strategy of an organization. The system will track the opportunities and issues that may arise out of these identified risks.

Introduction

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a holistic and integrated approach to managing all types of risks that an organization faces. The benefits of implementing ERM are numerous and can have a significant impact on an organization's success. 

Benefits of Enterprise Risk Management

1)Improved Decision-Making: ERM provides a comprehensive view of the organization's risk          landscape, enabling better-informed decision-making at all levels. Decision-makers can weigh risks against potential rewards and make more strategic choices.

 2)Enhanced Strategic Planning: ERM helps organizations align their risk appetite with their overall strategic objectives. This alignment ensures that risk management is an integral part of strategic planning, allowing for more effective goal-setting and execution.

3)Efficient Resource Allocation: By identifying and prioritizing risks, organizations can allocate resources more efficiently. This ensures that resources are directed towards managing the most critical risks, optimizing the use of time, money, and personnel.

4)Regulatory Compliance: ERM helps organizations stay compliant with relevant regulations and standards. It ensures that risks related to compliance are identified and managed appropriately, reducing the likelihood of legal and regulatory issues.

5)Improved Stakeholder Confidence: Stakeholders, including investors, customers, and employees, often have more confidence in organizations that demonstrate effective risk management. ERM provides transparency and assurance that the organization is aware of potential risks and is actively managing them.

6)Proactive Risk Identification: ERM encourages a proactive approach to risk identification rather than a reactive one. By anticipating potential risks, organizations can develop strategies to mitigate or respond to them before they become significant issues.

7)Enhanced Business Resilience: ERM contributes to organizational resilience by helping businesses prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions. This resilience is critical in today's dynamic business environment, where uncertainties and unexpected events are commonplace.

8)Cost Reduction: Effective risk management can lead to cost savings. By identifying and addressing risks early, organizations can prevent or minimize the financial impact of adverse events, reducing the overall cost of risk.

9)Increased Innovation: Organizations that effectively manage risk are often more willing to take calculated risks, fostering a culture of innovation. ERM provides a framework for organizations to experiment and explore new opportunities while managing associated risks.

10)Improved Communication: ERM facilitates better communication and collaboration across different departments and levels of an organization. It creates a common language for discussing risks and encourages a shared understanding of the organization's risk profile.

11)Insurance Premium Reduction: Demonstrating a strong risk management program may lead to reduced insurance premiums as insurers often reward organizations that actively manage and mitigate risks.

Manage Risk using Athena

The Risk Management functionality can be accessed using menu Risk Register as shown in below below figure. The risks already created will be listed, the user can create a new Risk Register/ Risks and update them.

Risk Register screen with the inherent risk and residual risk matrix are shown below. 

All risks identified can be recorded in the risks tab with appropriate status. The likelihood and impact

of the risk to be identified and recorded accurately.

Once risk control measures have been identified, it can be recorded in the risk treatment/ mitigation

section.

The residual risk score will be calculated by the system based on the defined risk strategy.
