ERM Step 2: Monte Carlo Simulations
Monte Carlo simulation
Method of evaluating the effect of input variances on a model of a complex system
In short, it helps to see how input variances affect outcomes
Helps to define risk tolerance
Implemented in three areas
Budget simulation
Credit risk portfolio
Consolidation of risk exposure

Formal approach to defining and handling project risk
Includes multiple steps
Identification
Assessment
Handling
Reassessment
Follow-up
Reporting
