ITS 835 – Enterprise Risk Management

Course Summary

Course Term and Delivery

2019 Summer IG

Asynchronous Online Course

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

The goal of this course is to provide the student with fundamental understanding of the elements necessary to design and implement an enterprise risk management (ERM) program, which includes elements such as conducting qualitative risk assessment, choosing an ERM framework, identifying current risk management policy, designing internal and external communication, and planning for continuous program improvement.

By developing an understanding of how each element functions, its importance to the success of an ERM program, and the barriers to implementing individual elements and the ERM program as a whole, the student should be able to apply knowledge gained in order to design a draft ERM program, including implementation plan and timeline. Through class assignments and collaborations, students will gain knowledge of their organization’s current risk management programs, and utilize the information in the design of their draft ERM program.

Learning Outcomes

At the completion of this course the student be able to:

· Identify the core elements required to design an ERM program for their organization, and explain why they are essential to any effective ERM program;

· Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of their organization’s culture and current risk management program;

· Demonstrate working knowledge of risk assessment and risk treatment techniques that are at the core of an ERM program,

· Create and present, through written and/or oral presentation, a business case for implementing ERM that is understandable and relevant to all levels of an organization.

Students will gain the knowledge necessary to begin drafting their own ERM design and implementation plans, which when implemented will assist in reaching enterprise-wide organizational goals and objectives.

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.
