Catalog Course Description
This course goes beyond looking at risk management from the confines of quantitative topics to cover the full spectrum of risks that may emerge in enterprises. It covers a more holistic approach that includes the decisions and actions of employees in an active enterprise. It uses case studies to demonstrate the issues and challenges in total risk management. Finally, the course explores techniques for balancing enterprise risk and reward to enable performance optimization.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
• Design and implement an appropriate ERM framework and risk governance structure customized to any type of organization.
• Conduct qualitative risk assessments to identify/prioritize key risks from among all risk sources.
• Quantify all types of risks, including strategic, operational, financial, and insurance.
• Develop a clear definition of risk appetite (the aggregate enterprise-level risk limit).
• Enhance strategic planning, increasing the likelihood of achieving strategic plan goals.
• Provide a rigorous business case for both business and mitigation risk-reward decision-making.
• Assure the board of directors that key risks are well understood and managed.
• Understand and satisfy ERM requirements from rating agencies, regulators, and shareholders.

Academic Integrity
At a Christian liberal arts University committed to the pursuit of truth and understanding, any act of academic dishonesty is especially distressing and cannot be tolerated. In general, academic dishonesty involves the abuse and misuse of information or people to gain an undeserved academic advantage or evaluation. The common forms of academic dishonesty include:
a. cheating - using deception in the taking of tests or the preparation of written work, using unauthorized materials, copying another person’s work with or without consent, or assisting another in such activities
b. lying—falsifying, fabricating, or forging information in either written, spoken, or video presentations
c. plagiarism—using the published writings, data, interpretations, or ideas of another without proper documentation
Episodes of academic dishonesty are reported to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The potential penalty for academic dishonesty includes a failing grade on a particular assignment, a failing grade for the entire course, or charges against the student with the appropriate disciplinary body.
Students with Disabilities
Students who may have a disability meriting an academic accommodation should contact Mr. Jacob Ratcliff, the Disabilities Services Coordinator, in the Student Services Office. For accommodations to be awarded, a student must complete an Accommodations Application and provide documentation of the disability to the Disability Services Coordinator. Any accommodations for disabilities must be re-certified each semester by the Academic Affairs Office before course adjustments are made by individual instructors.
Student Responsibilities
1. Students are expected to login several times per week to participate in class discussions.
2. Students are expected to find out if any changes have been made in the class or assignment schedule.
3. Students are expected to be self-motivating in an online, asynchronous course.
