The Executive Risk Management Committee (ERMC) is responsible for reviewing the risks associated with the institutional mission and objectives, ascertaining the University's appropriate risk tolerance for those risks, and ensuring that necessary mitigation strategies are in place, resourced appropriately, and integrated with existing initiatives to enhance management and control.

Supported by an organizational structure that formally assigns responsibility for identifying and mitigating risks to senior managers across the institution, the committee’s process focuses administrative attention and resources on significant issues. The risk management effort also informs the Office of Audit and Compliance’s University-wide audit and compliance work plan.
