Enhancing credit unions’ ability to measure, prioritize and manage organizational risk/opportunities in today’s economic environment.

Why ERM

  • It maximizes value by setting strategies that balance return and risk considering its risk posture
  • Effective risk management supports all activities from molding high-level strategy to running daily operations
  • Risk management helps maximize returns to members and capital allocation by:
    • Selecting opportunities with attractive risk/return profiles
    • Avoiding excessive losses
    • Balancing earnings uncertainty with earnings potential
    • Preventing damaging publicity
    • Allows you to see all organizational risks in a single snapshot and on a common scale

What are the benefits of an ERM project

  • Offers the potential to greatly improve your credit union’s ability to identify key risk exposures
  • Develops a sustainable process
  • Focuses efforts on the projects that will most efficiently address key exposures
  • Provides ERM information to ALM positioning and strategic planning, to improve the bottom line
  • Reduces your overall risk:
    • However, we like to point out that a credit union makes its money by assuming risks. The ability to know what you are getting into really helps you improve your margins.
