ERM...WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL INTERNAL AUDITOR. Globalization, e-commerce, technical innovations, new and complex business transactions, scandals, business failures, financial crises, military conflicts, cyberterrorism, government bailouts, crippling regulations, and natural disasters all characterize today’s business climate. Some of these events are new; others have been around forever. Some are good; some are bad; and some are good or bad depending on your perspective. Some happen quickly with little notice; others evolve slowly and can be anticipated. Risk and risk management have existed since the beginning of mankind. Enterprise risk management (ERM) is relatively new and involves an organizationwide approach to managing risks. Achieving and sustaining ERM success is a huge endeavor — from implementation to ongoing evaluations and improvement initiatives. In other words, it involves a long-term investment of time, energy, and money. Enterprise Risk Management: Achieving and Sustaining Success:

• Helps internal auditors to implement effective, efficient ERM systems.

• Translates complex ERM concepts into concrete, straightforward, practical guidance.

• Clarifies the roles internal auditors should and should not play.

• Provides guidance in delivering value-adding assurance and consulting services for ongoing ERM success.

• Offers information that is applicable globally and across industry lines and organization sizes.
